Are decreases allowed? Basically:
- I've found a potential hedging opportunity
- I want to get my increase in before the thread is locked but...
- If I'm outbid, I want to decrease back to 0.1 and...
- I don't want the thread to be locked while the opportunity is still floating

LOL. All this to secure a $20 profit, maybe?

If I may, I'd like to up my bet to 5 BTC in a strange manner.

- If I do not visit these forums for a period of 24 hours or more, lower my bet back to 0.1 BTC
- If the thread is locked before I call off the above term, lower my bet back to 0.1 BTC
- Once I secure the hedging opportunity, I will call off the above terms; my bet will stand at 5 BTC regardless.
- I can lower my bet back to 0.1 BTC by posting that I wish to do so in this thread.

Sorry, no rule changes. Straight bet only. Normal increases allowed.

It's ironic that loudmouthed over-confident decriers brought me to make a bet, and loudmouthed over-confident decriers end up plaguing my bet thread. I guess I need to find another way to bankrupt your defaming, accusatory asses. I'll think of something next week. Get your coins ready!

Matt you are so damn awesome, this is the most entertaining thread ever.

I just can't wait too see how it concludes...

If I win I'm flying to Italy to finally meet you. I'm also gonna find Bitscalper.

Drop by the Netherlands. My place isn't all that much but I'd be happy to welcome you Cheesy

and here's mine

Matt's is more recent/updated, but keeping two separately means we can check each other's errors.

If nobody bets anymore you could use the remaining funds to buy some Pirate debt.

Chungenung is looking for someone who buys at least part of his 10K at 60% discount.

Just wanted to give a formal notice regarding all current bets (shown at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ajtx05YrHtIydFVHcGxLOExTbnhqajJLZmlSZUNtM3c#gid=0):

As of writing this, there are only 2844.10885543Ƀ remaining to bet with. Since it seems everyone who has detracted pirate as a "read the writing on the wall" ponzi has bet (except one), I am now offering the remaining 2844.10885543 Ƀ to hedgers who would like to protect themselves from losses. For this reason, I will up the maximum bet to the entire sum of 2844.10885543 Ƀ (I have been made aware of numerous individuals who have invested a much larger amount than that into pirate).

Good luck to everyone.

I'd like to place a 100BTC bet, if a trusted member is willing to act as an escrow agent.

CR

I'll escrow it for you, no charge. Send me a PM, or just send it to my public firstbits address, and I'll up my own bet to 130 BTC (from 30).

Thanks for the offer, Matthew said that since I'm a donor he'd take my bet even though my post count is low.

If you're betting that Pirate will pay out, you can invest in https://glbse.com/asset/view/TYGRR.BOND-P
It is a bond worth 1BTC stake in BS&T.
Since Pirate has defaulted the bonds are not currently being bought back and are priced around 0.6-0.7BTC
But if Pirate repays then the bond will return to 1 BTC.

Just out of curiosity, if Pirate does default, will those bonds become not back by anything, and basically be like fiat currency?

Worse than fiat currency, because they are backed by entirely nothing (not even the force of the government) and run the risk of being delisted, effectively removing its value as a store of value. Imagine money that not only nobody wants, but may also disappear whenever.

So... like a Monopoly board game box that someone left precipitously balanced on the edge of a toilet bowl Ok.
