Intertops

[stale]

I made a wager with intertops on who would be the successful bidder for directv: echostar or news corp. I took news corp and they now own hughes {directv}. I contacted intertops several times, to no avail. Any help would be appreciated

What was their reason for not honoring?

The reason was pretty vague, all I know is this ,THE NEWS CORP OWNS DIRECTV

Another thread started today which appears to be an alias for dell dude! I mean this guy has 2 posts on this forum ONLY about this subject.

And of course it is intertops, but besides who it is, how much did you bet and what did it pay if you won??

I mean for all we know, you bet $5000 on this bet with different account!

Less than



less than$50. It's the principal. They won't even point to the fact that News Corp is the owner of directv. it was -325. I signed up today with the rx to make intertops do a little research. It's such a small amount of $. I don't have $5000 to wager



450

I received this info from Intertops:

Date bet closed: 23/08/2001 08:00:00

Simply select who you think will be the successful bidder for DirecTV, the largest satellite company of the US.

Options:

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp

Charlie Ergen's Echo-Star

http://money.cnn.com/2001/10/29/deals/gm_echostar/

http://www.twice.com/article/CA186600 (scroll down to November of that year)

What happened after the Echo-Star won the bid is irrelevant is another story and not relevant to the bet offer.
