When did bitlane turn into mother teresa?

If we lose we lose, if we win we win. Its not Sept 9th yet. A lot can happen.

Also, if the situation were looking to be in Matt's favor, I wouldn't expect any sympathy.

I don't see how Matthew can win this.

I'm beginning to think Matthew can't pay this and knows it so why not just jack the BTC up to whatever?

In all fairness, I can see this being a joke or lesson, so I think we should just let Matthew off the hook and call it a day.

If the lesson is 'too good to be true'....then consider it lesson learned Wink

I am not betting.

Couple possibilities here...
1) He's truly crazy.  100% batshit insane.

2) He has insider information making it an unfair bet.

3) He is actually working WITH pirateat40; ie. Pirate withholding payment until matt can extract as many bets as possible.

4) He has no ability and/or no intention to pay if/when he loses and is willing to risk his reputation to make a point that you all have yet again gambled your BTC on craziness.

Nuances aside, I see no other reasonable explanations for still accepting bets.

Enigma

5) There's a wording loophole in the bet agreement.

What is it about your psyche that makes you want to adopt highly controversial suspected criminals and defend their actions, even to the point of risking a not insignificant sum of money in defending them?

#568

I ordered back issues of the magazine several weeks ago, where are they?

#14,027

Were we supposed to be sequential in our numbering?

#5,000,001

Is this just a desperate Atlas-like ploy for attention given that Phin's question thread had gone past 128 pages, and you feel like less of man when his is so much bigger than yours?

Damn! Your first mistake this year. You meant image thread.

BTW, how many pizzas can be purchased with five million dollars. (I currently have no proof, no pun intended, that he's the guy, but did learn something)

the largest personal bet so far is 6000 on one of the spreadsheets
AFAIK this is the single largest best on pirate sinking ,even bigger than Vandroiys
which was pretty respectable at 5000

As I informed Matthew.....

His bet was for 100% owed including ALL INTEREST etc to EVERYONE. That includes ME.

With me being the last to get paid and threatened to 'pay for it' (for opening my mouth) ...... I don't see how Matthew can win this.

A few more solid bets and maybe Matthew can pay off pirate's debt himself? No one in their right mind would take bets after they've already lost. Pirate admitted default today...

On that note... how about upping mine from 30 BTC to 60 BTC?
18TKNbSLTrd3a2W8mtoH5uNzFhWRWNcuHU

Accepted.


Id like to increase my bet to 100 btc

Accepted.

I see the number in your google docs spreadsheet keeps going up Matthew. If you're still taking bets, I would like to increase mine to 500BTC.

Accepted.

If you're still accepting bets (which would be insane!), I'll increase mine to 238.8 BTC.

I will raise mine from 250 to 500 if they are still being taken

(matthew knows whats really going on friday  maybe ?)  Grin


Accepted. (No, I honestly don't.)
