Title: Straight Up Gambling Bet
Post by: pokeyjones on February 07, 2015, 06:51:31 PM
I bet anyone here that I can get them gambling again by the end of the day. Hell, I'll even give you 5 to 1 odds.

What do you mean?

If I make a 0.1BTC bet that I won't gamble for 24 hours, and if I donn't gamble I will get 0.5BTC? If so, I am in.  ;D

btw, are you serious?

Guess what? I already took that possibility into account.

He clearly says "again" and the next few words, which rules it out on a rational interpretation.

It clearly does say again. So if you were gambling earlier and took the bet you lost. If you were not gambling earlier by taking the bet you are gambling within 24 hours, so you lost.

Anyone want to honor their bets?

Well phrased. Even the word bet was in italics.

Thanks, appreciate that.

Now, I'm trying to cash out all these pats on the back and "clever" comments. No cash or coin as of yet.

Apparently, you can bet and if you lose get out of it by saying it was a clever bet. Headed to Vegas to play blackjack. If I win I get paid. And when I lose I'll say "that was a clever hand!" as I take my chips back.

This is very sad. Some people actually have gambling and drinking problems.
OP is clearly trying to make profit on that. Shame on you :(
The whole way it is formulated: "I can get them gambling again by the end of the day" imply that OP is targeting recovering gambling addicts.
I feel sad  :-\

Almost fell like having a drink, but I have been sober for almost 48 hours.
