Mick wrote: Alan Mendelsen, a strong proponent of 1 in 6, insisted the Wiz would get
his clock cleaned in such a game. The Wiz told him to put his money
where his mouth is. Alan objected to gambling with other individuals on
moral grounds. So the Wiz made a new proposal. When at least 1 of the
dice is a two, if the other die is a two Alan would be awarded 8
points. If the other die wasn't a 2 the Wiz would be awarded 1 point.
The first person to get to 25 points wins and the loser has to buy
lunch.
Alan accepted the challenge and believes he will win the bet. I thought
this was some brilliant hustling by the Wiz. I've never really given
him any credit for street smarts until now. If Alan rolls the hard 4
three times he will only have 24 points. He will have to roll it one
more time to win.
I don't know Alan Mendelsen --- but if he is a big fan of Shack's and hasn't been able to spend any time with Mike, then he might gladly buy Shack lunch just for the opportunity to chat with Shack for an hour or so.
If this is true about AM, then he is actually free-rolling Michael! AM might win the bet, in which case he gets his lunch and Shack pays. He might lose (probable). But he still gets a lunch with Shack that he was willing to pay for anyway.
This is all speculation. I don't know the relationship between the two men at all. But it's very possible that both sides correctly figure they have the advantage!)
(BTW --- Wiz, Shack, Michael, and Mike are all the same guy! I used all names interchangeably when he was my co-host on GWAE, but it's fair to assume that not everybody knows that.)
