I was trying to think of some non-sports props we could do.  I thought of one involving chess.  Do you play at all?  Would you be interested in something like that?  It wouldn't be one where it would be possible to cheat by using a computer on my side.  On my side I would have to trust you not to.

1)   appreciate KGambler jumping in this thread and obviously being a serious bettor. 

2)   I wouldn't mind if this thread turns into "bet anyone anything" and KGambler handles most of the sports action.   Clearly I'm not endorsing him in any way as I just met the guy, but he seems legit from the onset.  Obviously proteck ya' neck.

3)  Not too terribly interested in Chess or the shenani-sports wager you proposed.  I'm not opposed to widening the spread a bit from a traditional site like pinny just to give a guy action, but I'm hoping to turn this thread into a really honest and available "Betsofbetco.in" alternative - i.e. statement betting that usually falls under the "shenanigans" category, usually having to do with current events, and usually something that is very likely to settle soon, like in a few days.  Not the 2016 elections. 

Still appreciate all the interest and if p-2-p betting (not just p-2-micon betting) takes off in this thread I'll change the title.

Got a couple requests for you...  Sorry to keep posting sports props, but it's so much easier to bet on.  Instant action, as opposed to waiting to see who's elected president in 2016 or something.  If you think of any good shenanigans bets, I am always game.


Brooklyn Nets (tonight's game, 8:00 EST)


Deron Williams OVER/UNDER FOR:

Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocks   34.5

Three Point Shots MADE   2.5



If you want to change the suggested totals, that's fine.  Juicing up both sides is also understandable.  Obviously it wouldn't be fair to ask you to set over/unders without some really nice vig.

Interesting prop..

I am a StL Cardinals fan, and I'm wondering how you would handicap a bet for total wins awarded to the pitcher in a competition between Shelby Miller and Lance Lynn by the all star break. Depending on the odds you offer I could take either through the all star break, and I'd like to take Shelby Miller has more wins than Lance Lynn at the end of the MLB regular season.


I can offer you odds.  The problem would be the escrow.  It's a long season, so I'd rather not be involved with an escrow.  How much were you looking to bet?  Would you be willing to send the amount of your bet to me to hold?



All-Star Break

Lynn -130

Miller +100



End of Season

Miller +100

BOOKED on Miami Heat to win 6 straight for 2.0 BTC.  I have TRUE.

I try to shy away from sports bets in general (but obv if some1 needs action i'll give a price) and I really hate baseball.  I have not desire to research this bet and respectfully decline. 

I'm primarily looking for "shenanigans" bets like on bombers and reality tv and politics and shit.

I would be willing to commission you for escrow if you can find a bettor.

Also want a line on this... gonna put requested bets in red


Miami Heat to win 6 straight at any point during playoffs.

Miami Heat to NOT win NBA Championship



Sorry for not getting back sooner, I see the heat game has started.

I will still honor either bet and offer them for the next 20 hours:

I'll start posting available bets in a different color, let's say green, as they are available for action.   Maybe I should update the OP with them if this thread starts getting really serious.

Thought I'd share some irrational PMs I just got from "Mastercoin" who apparently believes that if he thinks about a wager, it's booked action with me:

Hey man that reminds me.  Last night I dreamed that we had a bet on some sporting event and I won like hundreds of coins and you totally accepted the bet in my dreams.

So pay up sucker.  It was a gentleman's agreement.  Etc.

Even though it now appears he is in custody alive, I agree the correct thing to do based on the time stamp of this clear misunderstanding is to refund the .5  [waiting for first troll to liken this to Coinjedi, but in actuality its a great example of when to declare "push"  - as there is no chance I would have taken IveBeenBit's .5 if he lost]

pm me a hash / i'll ship it right away.

Also FYI for the future I am *USUALLY* only offering 1 side of the bet - not like a sportsbook - because there is clear side that I want to bet on.

Damn...another 10 minutes and I may have had action. I've been running bad on these sort of bets.

Anyways, like I said, you can use the sending address: 1HcnT8pYqNu5xAW1pZpcAzAf9NZPKrLrmQ. Thanks.

.5 re-shipped, at least u thought u bet the losing side & pushed Smiley

Thought I'd share some irrational PMs I just got from "Mastercoin" who apparently believes that if he thinks about a wager, it's booked action with me:

after I posted the Lakers odds, he replied with this:

Can we do a trust bast bet here I'm trying to establish myself as a am geniue for me to build my reputation.

As i trust you to do to the same

I'f you win I'll send coins to you specified address

I'f I win you will send coins to my specified address

Lakers -150 I'll wager 2 coin on them making playoff and you got them NOT making playoffs

As the games are tomorrow

PM ASAP I'f you wanna lock
This in!!

of course you have to post coins.  This sounds like nonsense. I did not respond to this PM.  So without any reason to think he has booked action:

YAYA lakers made it to the playoffs without "black mamba" utah lost so that guarantees a lock in the playoffs for the lakers!!

odds you gave -150 .5min 6max ( 2 coin bet )

please send coin to this address

1Dz7H6PHmWiws5BysDkEtNtjezsUAQSa9Y

if you want to run it back let me know on the bet and well get it going bro!!!

I reply saying you obviously didn't have action, how could you ever think you did?

Really bro..? You didn't receive this message from anybody else. You posted in the thread to my bet and you posted odds an addition to the "pm" I sent you as well I mean it's cool I guess I'f you don't want to pay as I can see from your point.. I'f the other way around as I would have payed you your winnings based on the thread posting and pm. It was just a 2 coin bet -150 odds

I like your stilo though on wagering   - We can get another bet going whatcha have in mind..?

Just pm me bet well come up with odds I'f any then send winnings to specified address 

Just curious.. When comming to the bomber bet when how would the winner be declared based on "suspect in custody" or based on a conviction ..?



and then:

Really bro as far as I'm concerned you and I know both know I  won that laker bet and you Owe me coin odds -150 " your posting " with a 2 coin bet

As I am going to tarnish your name and rep on the forums along with my partners and associates will as well for not keeping your word

Either send coins to this address 1Dz7H6PHmWiws5BysDkEtNtjezsUAQSa9Y

Or transfer seal chips to my account: Callorfold
 equivalent to the wager winnings or I will have no choice to take action and promote another poker site and all my resources to bring yours down!! Not a threat a promise as you not paying your bet that I won and that's a big deal where I'm from and everybody else for that matter

and then:

Are you really going to act dumb whatever I'm canceling accounts and all under and any future account at seals as I am no longer promoting your Jewish site as you do not repay bets and I am going to post you in the forums along with my associates as will to it your call  and you had was transfer seal chips to username: callorfold

Goodluck I'm fulltime job is bringing you and seals down now good job man congrats you got what you asked for good one dude you jew!!

so be on the lookout for "mastercoin" to tarnish my reputation and stop promoting all my "jewish" site Smiley   lulz

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.

My understanding was that Micon set the line and I could choose a side. If KGambler is right, then I'll take "true" in Micon's statement, as written, if he agrees to bump the odds to +175. Otherwise, just send the BTC0.5 coins back to the address they came from.

Thanks for your input KGambler.

min bet: .5 btc
max bet: 2 btc

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]

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 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.



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

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?

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

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. 

I bet mooslums

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


Micon - do you want to set a line on whether the 2nd suspect will be taken dead or alive?

Edit: Congratulations on your win.



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:

Dude, don't take the Lakers bet.

Alright, you got me Smiley 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.


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

Mooslims!

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

Quote
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the two Chechen brothers identified as the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, was a self-described “very religious” Muslim boxer who yearned for Chechen independence and who posed for a photo essay entitled “Will Box for Passport.”

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


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

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.

Mooslims!

Quote
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the two Chechen brothers identified as the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing, was a self-described “very religious” Muslim boxer who yearned for Chechen independence and who posed for a photo essay entitled “Will Box for Passport.”

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?

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.

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.




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.

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.

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  Wink

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!

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"

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.

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!

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.

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 Smiley 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.

I still haven't received those coins.  My friend is a miner and doesn't even know how to use bitcoins.  I will check back in a couple hours.  If they haven't arrived by then, then I will have to check back in the morning.

Either way, I will try and check with you before posting up.  I realize a long time has passed.

The more blocks go by, the larger the chance it will be included, unless you are talking about some pitiful micro-transaction (some of those can become lost money).  Part of the probability of being included in a block is the size of the transaction.  You should probably read up on this if you plan to do many transactions with no or minimal transaction fees.

In this site of so-called Bitcoin geniuses, not a single person even had a response to my own thread asking about a certain peculiar behavior of the reference client.  Maybe nobody here knows.  Maybe they're too dumb.  In any event, I'm still interested in knowing why the reference client did this thing.

I'd only worry if you wake up tomorrow and the transaction still hasn't cleared.  They generally do eventually, if they are for any substantial amount.

Thanks.  My coins showed up.  It was a triple digit transaction, so it wasn't small.  Maybe the issue is that they are brand new coins.  I should have told him to include a transaction fee.  It looks like they came in the middle of the night.  It took over 10 hours.    Angry


One other thing is that his wallet was loading to catch up on the blockchain when he tried to send the coins.  Would the client wait until he was caught up to process the transaction?  Or does it really take 10-11 hours for a large transaction with no fee?


EDIT:  He tried again today and it arrived in like 5 minutes.  I guess the issue was his client was catching up on the blockchain.  Now I don't think it had to do with the fees.

Did you get any action on your Lakers bet? I'd be willing to take that with your proposed -300 line. I say that the Lakers will make the playoffs. All teams play their last match of the regular season today.


Dude, don't take the Lakers bet.

The moneylines for the two games are out now.  You can parlay the Utah and Houston moneylines and get paid +490.  Why would you take +300?

If you want to make that bet at least you should get better odds.

Dude, don't take the Lakers bet. They are a huge favorite since they have the tie-breaker over Utah... New guy either doesn't know this or is trying to take advantage.

[edit] Sorry Utah has tie-breaker but still Lakers will have to lose AND Utah will have to win their last game tomorrow.

I bet that the Boston Marathon bomber isn't caught this week.

At least 1 Boston Marathon suspect is named AND apprehended by 4/19/2013 11:59 EST

I have "Yes"

"No" is available at Even money.   Available for the next 6 hours unless obvious news changes things.

I can post a hash publicly or PM it.

I'll take "No" at even money if you're still taking action on this. One more thing -- if they arrest someone, but then release him within 72 hours, "Sorry, wrong guy" then I win the bet. If suspect is held longer than 72 hours I lose. PM an address and betting limits if you're down.

Your TX most likely qualified for no transaction fee. All outputs have to be at least 0.01 BTC, and the coin age of inputs must be 0.6 or more. Free transactions are slower to be confirmed, only a limited number of them is accepted per block.

Since you have set the min TX fee to 8192 satoshi or whatever, instead of sending no fee it sent 8192 satoshis.

Actually, I fixed that almost immediately.  It was an error to have left that in place, as I had only set it that way to experiment.

I still haven't received those coins.  My friend is a miner and doesn't even know how to use bitcoins.  I will check back in a couple hours.  If they haven't arrived by then, then I will have to check back in the morning.

Either way, I will try and check with you before posting up.  I realize a long time has passed.

The more blocks go by, the larger the chance it will be included, unless you are talking about some pitiful micro-transaction (some of those can become lost money).  Part of the probability of being included in a block is the size of the transaction.  You should probably read up on this if you plan to do many transactions with no or minimal transaction fees.

I'd only worry if you wake up tomorrow and the transaction still hasn't cleared.  They generally do eventually, if they are for any substantial amount.

I bet that the Boston Marathon bomber isn't caught this week.

At least 1 Boston Marathon suspect is named AND apprehended by 4/19/2013 11:59 EST

I have "Yes"

"No" is available at Even money.   Available for the next 6 hours unless obvious news changes things.

I can post a hash publicly or PM it.

I'll take "No" at even money if you're still taking action on this. One more thing -- if they arrest someone, but then release him within 72 hours, "Sorry, wrong guy" then I win the bet. If suspect is held longer than 72 hours I lose. PM an address and betting limits if you're down.

New line Lakers -300



My friend sent with no transaction fee.  Any idea how long this is gonna take?

1)  those can take forever.  I am not familiar with how long it would take (always add tx fee IMO)
2)  The new line is -300  | if you do not want that price I will send back as soon as I rec'd it.

IMO at this early stage I think Muslim v USA is very close to 50-50.

however calling a ginger is going to have to pay 10x or more what plain 'ole USA pays.

I was only willing to give 3x on that, because only at that would I have a really good advantage on it.  As for Muslim/USA, I think the USA side is a slight favorite.

Of course, events could easily moot any of these bets before they're made.

Dude, doesn't matter what you say, that bomber bet is creepy and you're mentally ill.

Well, maybe we have found a thread that just isn't for you.  Maybe don't use this one to add to your informative streak of 6000+ posts?  Maybe go back to threads that are more your speed, like promoting various scams.

Like you so well quoted I also made a bet. I lost that bet. I paid for the loss. I'm still here. What's so bad about it? Wouldn't you also eat your losses in the case of a lost bet? Should I have acted any other way for you to think it would be "the right way"? I really don't get you. You try to act as a gentleman bettor, but you're just a fuckin' redneck. You don't want to win bets... you only want drama and half a dozen basement dwellers looking at you. You're sad.

I would like that Lakers bet as well.


My friend claims he will be home in a half hour, but he's kind of unreliable.  Hopefully I will be able to ship within the hour though.  You interested in more anti-Laker action?  (I want Lakers -150)

1)  Ooops,  both teams have 1 game left
2)  Lakers still up 1 game
3)  Utah must win, lakers must lose

New line Lakers -300


What odds and stakes are you offering for that ginger bet?  And how ginger does ginger have to be?

Degree of ginger would certainly come into question on this bet.  A community-poll would likely be needed to settle any disagreement.

IMO at this early stage I think Muslim v USA is very close to 50-50.

however calling a ginger is going to have to pay 10x or more what plain 'ole USA pays. 

If you want to extend fantastic odds w/community poll in case of disagreement I'm always listening!

Utah has the tie breaker, LA 1 game up, both teams have 2 games to play, LA without Kobe obv or they are a lock.

My bad, I had it the wrong way, but there's one game left for each team and like you said Lakers are ahead. If you want to make that bet at least you should get better odds.

Games left for each team:  2
Games LA is up on Utah: 1
Tiebreaker:  Utah

Further more, I don't subscribe to "it's not proper to bet on ______"   because I think if 2 ppl want to bet on it why the fuck not?  sometimes humans like to bet on real life things, and sometimes that makes other humans uneasy.  Fine.  don't read, ignore, do whatcha gotta do.  Further more, I also don't subscribe to "It's not proper to make a joke about ______"  because no matter what it is, that shit can be funny.  It may even help you cope with it.

Dude, don't take the Lakers bet. They are a huge favorite since they have the tie-breaker over Utah... New guy either doesn't know this or is trying to take advantage.

I bet the lakers make the playoffs even without ( Kobe is gone for season ) pm me or reply I'f you wanna wager to take this bet as it is I'f very very even plus adding as did Utah winning tonight!!


Let me know ASAP as this is a time sensitive bet

Just did my amatuer analizing of NBA, and looked around the internet sportsbooks - pretty much no one has a line on this right now.

IMO the Lakers are the favorite, but not overwhelmingly so.

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 realize it's time sensitive, looks like all NBA starts at 5pm Vegas time (4.5 hrs from now) so you can have until then to accept the bet.    Send between 0.5 and 6 coins to this hash to have action:

Here's what I want to bet:

The bomber(s) was muslim.

What odds will you give?  I am thinking EVEN odds.  We don't need to have a third party escrow.  I trust you and will ship to you to hold my money.

The major problem is that as of right now I have NO bitcoins.  

My friend is a miner who doesn't want to sell any, but he is going to lend me some tonight.  

I have a good reputation for paying bets from 2+2.  I was a bettor in the HSNL sportsbetting thread.  I think you know about the thread.  It pretty much died down after Pete F. fucked a bunch of people over.  I am "Post-Oak" on 2+2 and KGambler on SBR.  I also sell 5Dimes funds on 2+2, so I have references for that as well.

Let me know what odds you want and maybe we can work something out.

Totally want to bet the don't on muslim.

Do you want to bet on something completely random?  Don't want to get rolled by Betsofbitco.in or can't understand the payout % of bitbet.us? Well just bet me directly and let's have dooglus escrow (gonna have to start giving him a small %) with the btc-address system.

The thing today I personally really wanted to bet on was that the Boston Marathon bomber will turn out to be an American, not a foreign plot or a classic brown-man bomber.  I want to bet that he's a ginger (at high odds)  I want to bet the parlay that he's a white male aged 15-45 from the east coast. 

u see, there are so many random bets, some that have to be made fast.

Just post whatever you want to bet on.  I'll give you odds.  You don't have to take it, no problems, no worries, no love lost.  sometimes you don't make a bet.

any bet, big or small, as low as .5 coin bets.  I don't want to do anything lower than that, it has to be worth the action to settle on terms and escrow the wager.  I have a few hundred coins wagered right now on various BFL-things, so I'm rolled to bet as much as most ppl would want.  If someone wants to make an extremely large bet I have a lot of gambling friends I can call to see if they want to take part of it.

so, let's gamble on things!  just throw something out, I'll give you a line on it.  Sporting event, political event, current event, whatever.
