Topic: Bryan Micon's "Bet Me Anything" thread - page 2. (Read 5213 times)

Reading what he wrote, it looks like he never offered that bet.  Reading what you both wrote, it looks like a misunderstanding and you both wanted the same side.  It looks like a "no action" result - no bet.

No. Read what I wrote - I sent BTC0.5 and bet on "false" as in - he gets killed or escapes or something.

I rec'd .5 btc on "Bomber 2 taking alive" at +150  - was this you?  If it's some1 else, just easily prove that transaction was you.

glglglgl whoever is betting on this guy taken alive!  i think he's gonna get waxed.

Perhaps I'm just jealous that the thing in which I'm interested in gambling still hasn't been addressed.

Damn....tough line. I have spent about 20 minutes trying to decide what side to take. I'm in for BTC0.5 on "False." At +170ish I probably would have taken the other side.

My reasoning - even if the kid legitimately surrenders, the stories that he has a suicide vest will make the cops way more trigger happy.

I think that discussion is best for another thread [and I am happy to engage in a respectful debate] as I have done numberous times on the subject on DonkDown radio [which you are welcome to come on next Wednesday, again for respectful debate]

this is assuming you are Christian. 


shipped 10 coins just now to your PM'd hash.  GLGLGLGLGLGLGL





I personally think they are going to swiss cheese that bitch like they did his brother.  Now the kid is only 19, so you have that variance element as well.  Other possible outcomes are "they never find the fucker" and "there are 7 suspects" so like all well-written statements, we must add a date and a name to this as well.  I'm also throwing in Interpool / all worldwide law enforcement entities so we don't "coinjedi something" by saying "police" when "FBI" actually makes the collar.  Also note I will never, ever "Coinjedi" or "Bestofbitco.in" anyone who bets me.  I am a gentleman gambler and have proved so here in LV for many, many years.  I will always consider intent from both sides and will always strive to make the fairest decision.  If there is ever a question about a bet we can go to a poll or a trusted panel of 5 for arbitration.  I am never interested in collecting a quick buck at the sake of my reputation.

I offer the following:

Statement:  "Boston Marathon Bomber Suspect #2 Dzhokar Tsarnaev taken into custody alive by any worldwide law enforcement body by 12:01am EST 5/1/2013.  He must stay alive for 12 hours after the earliest news report he is in custody"

Odds to bet "True" on the above statement:  +150 
min bet: .5 btc
max bet: 2 btc
 
hash: 12gER9apoavPLgdqY6bpcPSxeTHpaRKVtH

(doubled checked it this time
Bet good for

offer good for 12 hours or until the very first time-stamped report of "suspect catptured" [the very first will likely be a tweet]

I am not interested in this. I'm interested in gambling. Micon - do you want to set a line on whether the 2nd suspect will be taken dead or alive?

Edit: Congratulations on your win.

Haha, just giving you a hard time because two bettors had already agreed on a price and you were butting in.

I'm interested in how you make fun of Christians? C'mon, don't be shy.

pay the mooslims, take the "won't catch"



Indeed.  "at least 1" is certainly satisfied.  You win the 5 coin Mooslum bet.  Yes, that is religiously insensitive, because organized religion is bullshit.   I drink to that as I ask KGambler to send me a hash for a 10 coin mooslum headshot.

Tell 'em where u got it from! 

Yes, I would say both bets are concluded.  One of the guys has been apprehended already (died) and both were/are muslims.  So I won 2.0 BTC net (5 - 3).  gg Micon

Mooslims!

From: http://dailycaller.com/2013/04/19/dead-boston-bombing-suspect-was-a-very-religious-muslim-boxer/

9:15 a.m.: CBS’s Boston affiliate WBZ interviewed the Tsarnaev brothers’ uncle Ruslan Tsarni. When the station informed him of Tamerlan’s death, Tsarni said the young man “deserved it” and called him a “loser.” Tsarni said he always tried to encourage the boys to focus less on Islam, and more on school, telling them to “be useful. Know why you came to America.”

Does that conclude the bet?  Or is Islam != Muslim?

Unless they are half way to Yemen, the guys in the photo should be picked up before Sunday.  You figure somebody has to have had contact with them, a hotel employee or something.  I like your chances on that bet.  I don't mind losing that one.

1)  this thread is going to be epic, i can already feel it.

2)  I'm good right now, but thanks for the +200 offer.  I def. like the action I have through the weekend, although I will say it feels very 50-50 to me right now, so I'm gonna say it was a decent line.

I agree.  That is why I am offering him 2 to 1 odds now haha

Pictures of suspects are released.   Micon looks to be pretty safe.

The photos have been released.  They are not clear.  They look a little darker skinned with black hair, but they could be any of many ethnicities.  

I am willing to give you +200 on non-muslims now if you want more action.


Edit:  Of course, decent chance those aren't even the bombers.

Glad it got worked out... I didn't know what to think at first, but I was quickly reassured since you said from the start that it was all good and my bet would count regardless. Go Nuggets  

I know, sort of loving this wager.  Obviously I have the "win-win" or "lose-lose" side of the bet:  either they catch the fucker(s) and I win btc, or the bombers get away (for now) and I lose btc.  Fun sweat indeed.

Also Note:  I had a guy PM me asking for payment on a -150 Lakers bet.  Obviously I didn't book any such bet.  For those wanting to wager, it is very simply and I'm very fair, but you of course must post coins to me (or escrow in the case of a large wager to protect the bettor) to have action.   I will also reply in this thread saying "booked"




Fishface I have confirmed your .8 coins rec'd and you are booked, even though you were booked before, just re-iterating that I was stupid and pasted the wrong hash, but luckily got it worked out.  You will win a full 4 coins + your wager back, or 4.8 BTC if Denver somehow makes it through the gauntlet.
