Let's please add to the findings that
@DogRockets
purchased a total of 2 sticks on Thursday at a B&M. So, not only did he lose the bet by buying the Tats, he also bought 2 sticks at a shop.
The biggest question of all is: WHAT STICK SHOULD I CHOOSE AS MY PAYOFF?
Hmmm... Well, if you go into a B&M you are obligated to buy at least one stick... this would be outside of the bet IMHO. But 2 sticks???? Hmmmm.... Still waiting for a reply to my original question.
Mr. Simpson, don't you worry. I saw an episode of Matlock in a bar last night. The sound was down, but I think I got the gist of it.
