ATM he doesn't wanna pay, and a settlement via arbitrators is pending (lol Barryt G was one of them ).
I am a big Ivey fan, but I am w/ Ram on this one. Ivey is out of line skewing his handicap so much. I'm not into golf enough to know if this is bad etiquette or not.

I also feel bad for Ram about all the false stories that have been circulating, such as DN's blog.

unless they can find Ivey's certified handicap and prove that he was fudging it, then Ram should pay because he agreed to the betting. I doubt Ivey actually puts his scores into computer so he probably doesn't have one.

Ivey could have easily just had a great round, Ram should have gained more knowledge of Iveys skill before betting so much.

This makes me want to find Ivey and tell him my handicap is 30 then challenge him.

If I had enough dough to be betting a million on a single game of golf, I'd probably just freaking retire to a nice private home with lots of acreage and enjoy life, rather that going nutso gambling on everything.

I mean, think about it. A million bucks is like someone making 50 grand (AFTER taxes) for 20 years! So you'd have to work 40 hours a week 52 weeks a year for 20 years straight to blow that money on one game of golf.

If Ivey BS'ed Ram about his Handicap, official or otherwise then the bet should be null and void IMO.

No, a bet is a bet and he got beat, he should pay up.
