If anyone wants some side action on that Milli bet I'm down.
I'll bet all my V cash that Ginn will take at least ONE snap at QB this year...who wants a piece of this?

When I get my 500 vCash back after Boeckman starts against Texas, it'll all go down on that bet. I keep telling yayhoos that the only reason why Ginn even took a snap last year was because the staff didn't want to burn Boeckman's red shirt in the bowl game after Zwick tweaked his hammy and Smith was on suspension. Keep dreamin'...

I think you're being a little foolish mili. I agree he'll never be a QB with any regularity, but for one play I would think he would line up at QB in the red zone once, especially if our starting QB (Boeckman/Zwick) isn't very mobile.
Saying it doesn't make much sense for Ginn to lineup at QB is one thing, but to say it will never happen at any point, to frighten the defense, is quite a bet.
If he takes the snap out of the shotgun (from the QB position, not a direct snap) and then runs with it, that means you lose the bet, right?
I'd say the odds are stacked against you.

One snap with him in the QB position is all it takes for me to lose the bet...he doesn't even have to run with it (he can hand it off or pass it). Even if the play in which he takes the snap as a QB gets penalized and then they don't snap to him again (thus making the QB snap play technically non-existent), I'll still pay up, because they called and ran the play.
I wouldn't be saying it if I weren't confident in it. IIRC, I've only be wrong on one board-public bet either back on Bustnuts or here, and that was the Gamble going in the first round bet with MistriBuck, and even then I was only four positions from winning (Gamble went 28th overall I think), and MistriBuck insisted Gamble would be 15th or better. Some of the bets folks made with me (and I won) were:
1. Zwick starting against Texas Tech as a true freshman (how stupid does that sound now?).
2. D'Andrea pushing Wilhelm out of the starting MLB position.
3. Fox being moved back to safety (every frickin' year).
4. McMullen starting over Krenzel in the Washington game (2003 opener for those who forgot).
I'm sure that if I'm missing a bet I lost, someone while remind me. I don't bet unless I'm really sure of it.

Whoopy dee do. As if your track record had any bearing on what will happen in a 2005 football game. Besides, those four bets were based on people touting one player as better than another.
That's not what this bet is. This bet is about Ginn EVER taking a snap at QB, in an undisclosed, revamped offense which apparently has a lot of creative ways to get him and holmes the ball.
That's why the bet is dumb on your part IMO.
