Soapy made a £10
bet with another VD'er over something or other, turns out that the other VD'er won the
bet but Soapy never coughed up.
A Soapy Tenner is a £10 note that you
will never actually see but still gives a modicum of weight to your argument by it'
s very presence.
From the example given we can see that even though the chance of the tomorrow being sunny is quite high, there is a possibility that it won't. You should therefore NOT risk your
real tenner, but use your Soapy Tenner which has the built in option of non-payment.
The origin of the Soapy Tenner is a regular forum user at
www.visordown.com you would regularly
bet £10 on the outcome of various discussion and never pay.
