I have a bet for $3k to win $10k I have 36 hours to learn I initially had 1 week. But I’ve been procrastinating.

Its legit, ive talked to him and he really is trying to get under 1 minute for some betAm I the only one that thinks something is fishy about this whole thing? Or even if it is "legit" something is not quite right about it?
Given the stakes of the bet and the short amount of time 300$ sounds like not much. If the coaching will increase his chance of winning by more than 2.5% then it's worth it.I don't think it's worth wasting 300$ on coaching
Internet is full of information but also misinformation. Number of videos that show up when you search for rubik cube tutorial is insane. And JPerms video albeit close to the top of search results only promise "how to solve rubik cube in 10 minutes" so OP might decide to ignore that and move on to some crappy videos that promise 1 minute.when there are a gazillion youtube vids out there that can help you just as much if not more.
It's probably legit.
Stopthtfrdge is most likely a poker player or some other gambler. In the gambling community similar bets for this kind of money are not uncommon.
However given that there is 24hours left I think the bet is already lost
That makes a lot more sense then what he posted in the title and first post. Having seen other post like his (either here or on other websites) it initially look more like a scam at first, but if it is what you all say (which I am more convinced it is then before) then thanks for clarifying that up.Its legit, ive talked to him and he really is trying to get under 1 minute for some bet
You nailed most of it,Given the stakes of the bet and the short amount of time 300$ sounds like not much. If the coaching will increase his chance of winning by more than 2.5% then it's worth it.
Notice how OP had only 24 hours left when he came here. Having someone knowledgeable guide him in his process is very likely to increase his chances of success (if there are any to begin with).

Also notice how OP is betting several thousand on a silly bet. Clearly his entertainment budget can cover additional 300$ of cubing coaching.
And for all we know he might very well know that he is overpaying but is happy to give away few hundred bucks to a nice random stranger.
If I’m able to learn to do this blindfolded in the next month I stand the chance to make $$,$$$
I had an allergie attack that night...fell asleep early then got called into work the next morning. No time to practice... so I offered them a buy out which they accepted. Thanks for the helpful advice. Mukerflap was a big help and I paid him for his hour of coaching...If I’m able to learn to do this blindfolded in the next month I stand the chance to make $$,$$$. Advice there would be greatly appreciated.
