I'll bet whatever amount I expect to win.
P.S. And if you want some action, you can take the bet on yourself. If I lose, you'll pay everyone; if I win, you'll keep all the bets against me.

You misunderstood; it's just friendly advice to increase your anticipation. I don't care either way if you play against someone or not.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so I won't be playing until Monday or Tuesday

I don't like that people are focusing so much on the money, so I won't be accepting any more bets at any odds, and I'd like to close the topic of money. Because:
The main goal of the bets is to popularize HL+U templates and restructure the GM, so the next bet, regardless of the result with Stinger, I'm ready to play with Gomunguls.

If there's still a desire and money left after Stinger, and the series with Gomunguls takes place, I'm ready to bet 15k.

It's unpleasant to read so much sarcasm in the words of a person I don't know personally, so I'll think several times before accepting your offer. I understand that many consider me not a strong enough player to even suggest the possibility of my victory, but on top of that, you also touch on my possible inadequacy. Therefore, your words deeply offend me.

It's unpleasant to read such a large amount of sarcasm in the words of a person I don't know personally, so I will think twice before accepting your offer.

Therefore, your words deeply offend me

I highly doubt anyone intended to offend or make fun of you. I want to point out that you were the one who brought up the topic of money! So I don't understand what you're surprised about here.

Whether he wanted to or not, what's the point of dwelling on it? When they want to play, they can write, and if there's a game and a desire, it will happen.

If I offended you, I apologize; it was not my intention.

I have some free time, so I'll write about the games I played:
=Stinger=red(Dungeon -4000) def FireToSky(Fortress) 131
On the respawn there were 3 external Troglodyte dwellings, built on week 1 - Minoes in the Citadel.
The opponent quickly captured his Barbarian computer player, fast roads.
My road to my tower was a bit winding, but I got there by the first week.
Found boots behind a Grand Elf dwelling, saw an exit to the center, there are 2 Dragon Utopias.

On day 122 I run into the center, and there's already a captured Griffin Conservatory, Tazar showing stats 5 7 2 4.
I realize he probably couldn't have taken a big one, and I have a stack of 160+ Troglodytes and stats 6 4 2 2, I run along the road hoping to catch him. The central village was generated awkwardly - from my side, the passage to it is through roadless terrain.
I catch up to Tazar, he has 1 Angel, 5 Wyverns, 4 Bulls, and 35 Lizardmen with 40+ Gnolls.
I killed 2 Dragon Flies, the Angel killed a Mino, and Tazar pays tribute.
Then I took an external Dragon dwelling behind some Giants and ran to another unblocked passage.
On my turn, Tazar appears from it on an Angel.
I build level 2 in my main, retrain Alamar to Bolt and give him a Dragon + some units. Tazar pays tribute, but the next turn he shows up in that passage again. I had to attack again - another tribute payment.
Then Shakti runs to capture the second, as it turned out, central village, from which Tazar was emerging. I start a war of attrition and clearing the territory. By day 131 I build a chain to a Utopia near the village, take it with 300+ Troglodytes - got a Sentinel's Shield. I transfer the army to Alamar, who was leveled up on a Dragon, and run to capture the opponent's main. And there sits Tazar on an Angel, who on day 127 learned all Earth Magic from a Pandora's Box and Teleported home. I have 2 Bolts for 110 mana, Vanya surrenders.

=Stinger=red(-4500, Conflux) lose FireToSky(Castle)117
I was quite hasty with the rollback, but even the rollback didn't save me from losing this matchup.
Blocks everywhere and no money for buying.

=Stinger=red(+1500, Castle) lose FireToSky(Conflux)136
Block on the main part of the respawn and the exit to the computer and center (a dwelling of 45 Shamans), had to break through to a corner village, found 3 Griffin Conservatories there, 2 Dragon Utopias, collected money in the adjacent zone to build Horses and Griffins in the Citadel.
On week 2 I took 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2+1 Dragon Fly Hives for 8 Wyverns, the third Griffin Conservatory turned out to be a max one.
On week 3 I take another 4 Dragon Fly Hives, both Utopias turned out to be minis and without control.
On day 135 Grindan jumps in and takes my main, holing up in it.
I attack with Christian: 4+3 Angels, 29 Ducks, 7 Zealots, 20+ Marksmen, 23 Crusaders, and 50+ Pikemen.
Stats 18 14 6 and 14 mana, have Cloak of Undead King +1 speed.
Grindan: 10 10 21 (200 mana)
1+1 Angel, Wyverns were around 50, don't remember exactly.
I immediately disable the Angels and hit the Duck stack.
The opponent has an anti-morale artifact, I have a +2 morale which didn't trigger on the key Wyvern stack. In the end, I was 5 mana short of victory, 17 Ducks under Slow and without morale couldn't catch the opponent's 3 Ducks.
Thanks for the games.

Hello everyone. Where can I watch recordings of these matches?

It's more difficult to find recordings from FTS because different people re-streamed it, and you need to look for recordings from those people. Also, FTS has a poor internet connection, so the stream quality is also not very good.

Just finished game 4:

FireToSky (flux, random, Aenain, Fiur/Brissa) def Stinger (barb, Dessa, Dessa), 136 ( - 3600 )

Overall score is 3-1 in my favor. We'll start the next game soon

Gentlemen duelists, I dare to make a bold suggestion: stop dragging things out and finally finish this match, because your money is burning a hole in my pocket and risks being spent elsewhere :D

I thought they had been converted to the FISH equivalent a long time ago :D
