I think it would make for a good laugh. I would go ahead and wear it.

They give away RX shirts there. There's always the turn it inside out trick, too. I offered to have it burnt there ( with my BOS lighter), little interest. Really I own a BOS lighter. I even wanted Chuck to light it, but he won't attend even though he doesn't have to travel.

Wilheim is well known for his sense of humour.

just something to consider.
there might be a few people out there with large balances at bos and who wouldnt have even considered signing up there but for the fact they were a platinum advertiser at the RX.
while i think the probability is very low, there are some seriously messed up people out there and they might be looking for someone to blame and a few of the mods with their over the top support of BOS could be targets along with the owner of the site.
also considering that the bash is in part being paid for by the bos platinum marketing deal along with affiliate earnings of BOS, if the company ends up going belly up and stiffing players, i would cancel the bash and used those resources for some type of player relief.
so while it would be an absolute riot wearing the bos shirt, if things go downhill with them before the bash, i would use caution and leave it at home
ive written off the 2577 i have there and it will be a nice christmas present if i receive the funds or part there of.

It's something to consider, but my posts at RX certainly were not shilling BOS, I was right there with Chuck in being critical of BOS, to the point of being put on post review ( briefly).

Who from here is going to RX BASH ? John, and Bill I'm sure, any others ?
Roberto and RPM are expected.

Roberto is showing up? Incredible. He must think he is bulletproof.

Doug, Does the BOS t-shirt have any preposterous claims by BOS? I know they used to say all betting account funds were insured by Lloyd's of London. If it does you should wear it to get a few laughs.

It's just a basic black T-shirt with Beton sports on it, nothing fancy... a bit too small for me, but can be worn.
I cringe at the CRIS shirts with " We can't pay you fast enough" on the back !
Make a line, bro I'll bet ya $100 ( base amount). Terms are NT peer to peer, or other agreed upon like personal check or something.

Doug, I trust you know he will show. He will probably announce his new triple AAA program. These books will not be top tier books like his top rated BetOnSports but they will not be the rookie books he promoted either since all those went belly up.

Chuck: You want to do this, or not ? How about a must bet $100 with either of us making a line ? would be fun. We are both well known Net guys, stiffing shouldn't be a worry !
Not my norm to bet with posters on props you won't find any reports of Doug stifffing somebody.
Chuck Sims can't stiff me either !

No inside info, Chuck. I did axe his mod Jerseymike if he ( Mike) would attend, Mike said No, but RPM and Roberto would be there.
Things change, JM's comment was before the BOS crap.
Let me know if you change your mind. I'm far from a TOW insider, you know that, Chuck ! They don't like me very much at TOW.

ChucK: Think about it. Roberto has to attend, even if his other stuff is crumbling, this trip is a must do to give the appearance of normalcy.
Not an offer but I say YES should be a steal at -200, -500 is more like it, he has to go, IMO.
