Well, those who are not familiar with op on this forum definitely can not be blamed for believing that op has $1 million dollar and possibly more, and personally for me, I don't like underrating or looking down on people judging from their rank on this forum, for I believe that we do have a lot of newbies on this forum who are dollar millionaires outside this forum, in the real world.

And concerning op's claim, I can't help but agree that you are right, for I did not initial think or though along that line you talked about.
What I initially though was, it's either he has the money and was serious about betting it, which is why I gave the advice i gave in my first comment on this thread.
Or that he (op) doesn't have such amount of money but is only here to catch cruz by pulling our legs.
I never imagined that he could possibly use to tactic to get some gullible users sending him pm, making themselves vulnerable to being scammed.
