If Vandroiy's determined you're going to default by sometime in October 2013, why would he give up so early in the game?
Even if he changed his mind and thinks he already lost, it would not make sense to concede

Howdy,

As most of you know the infamous Vandroiy and myself entered into a wager for 5,000 each (10,000 BTC total).  If you missed it, you can check it out here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/putting-your-money-where-pirates-mouth-is-91661.

With the knowledge of what he was up against I must say that I respect Vandroiy’s commitment of following through and placing his money where his mouth is.  It’s rarely seen on the Internet and I commend him for it.

With that said, I simply wouldn't have made the wager unless I knew exactly what the outcome would be.  So the time has come for Vandroiy to make his final decision.

Vandroiy has the following (2) options to choose from:

  • Concede the wager to me (pirateat40) per the details below.
    • Vandroiy: Signed document confirming the action to concede the wager.
    • pirateat40: Signed document accepting Vandroiy’s action.
    • pirateat40: Will donate the entire wager balance (10,000 BTC) to a charity of the forums choosing.

  • Don’t concede the wager and chance the outcome of Aug 14th.
    • pirateat40: Nothing changes and pirateat40’s winnings (5,000 BTC) go to the charity of the forums choosing.

Vandroiy has until Thursday at 5:00PM CST to make his decision.

Let the fun begin.

Why would he concede.  If he really thought he was going to lose he could just invest in BS&T as a hedge and win no matter the outcome.  Just my .02 btc

Wait, I thought Vandroiy said something about you folding before the end of the year.  Where did he say by August 14th?  Granted, I didn't read through that entire thread.

Nevermind, I was thinking of the BetsOfBitco.in bet: http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=433[/list]

As most of you know

the reason we know is because this crap percolates into the trading forum rather than off-topic or gambling where it belongs.
