Sounds like they have a suspect in custody. It could be another Richard Jewell fail but it sounds like they have some good leads. They supposedly caught a guy on camera leaving a bag at the scene of the crime.

Media is saying the motive is still unknown. This could mean you won both bets. But probably it means that his name is Muhammed Abdul Farouk, but neither LE nor the media want to "speculate".

EDIT: NEVERMIND, NOW REPORTS COMING IN THAT NO ONE IS IN CUSTODY. WHO KNOWS?

and that's why it's fun to have action on this. Now the news is like watching sports.

Cops are now claiming to have good photos of 2 suspects and will be releasing them later today....this is getting exciting!

.8 btc sent for Denver to make the NBA finals. https://blockchain.info/tx/31fd247d9f1f05967eecb181bc716aa4aba536e5686474bc58c1a90a3ce553be

1) I may have fucked up and put the wrong hash... [that hash is in my "address book" not the "receive coins" on my satoshi wallet.. am i fucked?]

I think the address book shows all the addresses you ever sent coin to.

If you go to the transactions tab and type the start of the address into the search box at the top, it will show you all your transactions that sent coins to that address. The date, amount, or surrounding payments may jog your memory as to whose address it is. Depending on who it is, you may be able to get them to send you the coins back. Maybe it's just a deposit address for some service you have an account at, in which case fishface's 0.8 BTC will be sitting in your account on that site ready for you to withdraw.

Good luck!

Edit: and now that you've found it, label it (double-click on '(no label)' in the address book and write a note about what the address is for). Then you'll be less likely to make the same mistake again in the future.

I bet that BTCGuild average not less than 7652762 shares per block for the first 24 hours after the next retarget.

I will need to research BTCGuild and the share system in order to offer you a bet on this. Allow me time. Thanks.

The retarget just retargetted

Take your time - I'll be interested in betting on any 24 hours at any pool.

no worries though, you certainly have action if you sent.

you can have LA at -150 if you'd like. This means you can bet 1.5 coins vs. my 1 coin [mostly for newbs reading this thread that will want to bet in the future, I'm sure mastercoin knows was 1.5 is]

LA to make playoffs:
min bet: 0.5 coin
max bet: 6 coins
odds: -150

I still don't get "odds: -150". Can you explain it like I'm 5?

What's "odds: -600" and "odds: 500" too?

It sounds like -150 means "3 to 2 on", since you said he bets his 1.5 vs. your 1. Is that right? How did you get from 3-2 on to 150? 100*3/2 ?

Wait - why don't I just google it!

Updated "Lakers to Make the Playoffs"

[for lakers not to make playoffs, Utah needs to win (they are +5 underdogs, playing on the road) and LA needs to lose (they are 2.5 point favorites, playing at home)

lucky no 1 hit me up for -300 that was a very +EV offer I posted yesterday.

To keep this bet even money, now that time has elapsed, I must adjust the strike time/date:

At least 1 Boston Marathon suspect is named AND apprehended by 4/21/2013 11:59 EST. The suspect must not be released within 72 hours of arrest.

I have "true"

"No" is available at Even money. Available for the next 11 hours unless obvious news changes things.

OK, booked. I shipped 3 BTC. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they have a clue who did it or why. No one has even claimed responsibility. Hope I am wrong on this one.

I just logged on and sent 1.2 coins before I saw KGambler had already sent the max on our bet that you would take. I guess if BTC4.2 is too much action, you can return the coins to the address they came from. This is why I wanted you to send me the address in a PM.

both are booked / I'll take 4.2 coin on it / but I am closing that bet so it doesn't grow further.

Totally want to bet the don't on muslim.

min bet: 0.5 coin
max bet: 5 coins
odds: even $

Let me know if you get coins.

OK, I shipped 5 coins. I have MOOSLIMS. Good luck.

I may take the "not caught bet too". Wouldn't mind losing that one though. When you write 11:59 EST, most people are probably going to take that to mean 11:59 AM EST. If it's supposed to be PM or 23:59, I would clarify.

Would the client wait until he was caught up to process the transaction?

Yes. Otherwise it can't know whether the coins have already been sent to somebody else.

I think he could have sped things up by using 'getrawtransaction' on his client to get a copy of the transaction, and then broadcasting it using blockchain.info's service.

Dude, don't take the Lakers bet.

Alright, you got me

I honestly hadn't looked at the moneyline odds prior to my message, but what you're saying is absolutely correct. Still I'd have to say that the Lakers game without Kobe is pretty even, and I haven't looked at the Utah game yet, it's obviously a tough matchup but still very winnable for a team that is in a must-win situation.
