I made a bet that makes you pay when you lose. I pay nothing when I lose.

You would agree to such a bet for a popular event, right? You win your bet, you keep your money. I win, I get your money. If I happen to lose, it was just fun and games. No foul. We all had fun.

I mean, bets are just about backing up our arguments with money? The actual winnings don't matter, right? I mean, if I were to mistakenly say I have to pay $700,000 or so in Bitcoins if I lose, it wouldn't really matter if I don't have the money. It's only a game!

Anyone who thinks I should pay is probably just a greedy asshole. They should be grateful they didn't lose!

Anyways, who wants a free magazine? My treat!

I see what do you did here...

There's a problem though. The bet in question (which I can only assume is Matthew's bet) is not even concluded as of yet.

Isn't this a bit preemptive ?

You are absolutly right.

Lets bet about if more people disagree with you or agree.

Say 5 BTC? If I win I don't pay you 5 BTC and if you win you don't pay me 5 BTC.

Fine?

Two more days. Have some patience.

Lets bet

Are more bets what is needed right now ? I would guess at this point there is enough money on the table.

As far fetched as it might seem, have you given any thought to what will happen if Matthew does win his bet and expects to be paid the 70,000+ bitcoins owed in wagers currently ?

I would like to make a bet that at least 2 more bets will be created about Matthew over the next 2 days, until his actual bet comes due.

Small wonder. That post was from Atlas. If anyone here knows about backing out of bets via technicalities, it's Atlas.
