So, if pirate does pay out, Matthew gets his investment back and can pay out some of it for these bets. If pirate doesn't pay out, then Matthew covers some of money he lost to pirate. Nice hedging strategy. Wink

No- Matthew pays if Pirate stiffs anyone. He is not hedging a Pirate default; he is doubling down on Pirate.

the title of this thread is misleading.
if you bet and win, your gain is 100%, not 200%

but you have 200% of what you started on...

Post in this thread how much you're committing and I will double that amount you commit (maximum of 10,000BTC in bets allowed in this thread total) if Pirate does not pay out in 3 weeks as he described in his thread.

You need to make an important clarification:

Who wins In the event that 10%, 50% or 90% of the full amount owed by BS&T is refunded?

You have to use escrow for bets if you are serious, otherwise there is no way to enforce debt collection in case either party lose.

Doesn’t that go directly against what your home girl Vladimir believes about Pirate? I thought you guys were usually joined at the hip on this kind of shit? He has been one of the biggest ones “crying scam.”

What do you care anyway if it’s a ponzi, are you locked up in it somehow?

or he just wants easy money? Cheesy

if hes sure he's gonna win his bet why not.

Don't think pirate will payout as promised?
If you truly believe that Pirate is a scam/ponzi, then this is a no-brainer easy money for you.

Post in this thread how much you're committing and I will double that amount you commit (maximum of 10,000BTC in bets allowed in this thread total) if Pirate does not pay out in 3 weeks as he described in his thread.

To make your bets easier to read, please stick to the following format:

Code:

20BTC
13dSK4663Ts7j2PwHS1eUVjycKLBwx7PJM
Optional comment

The above post would be betting 20BTC that he in fact is not going to payout as described. If I lose the bet, you get 20BTC sent to that address. If you lose, you'll need to send 20BTC to my address.

Anyone (including myself) who renigs on their bets will be labeled a scammer on the forums. Theymos will retain the IP addresses of everyone who has committed here and as you are marked a scammer for not paying, you will also be reported to the bitcoin police and tracked. For this reason, it is important that you do not bet more than you can afford to lose. Considering the high probability of fraud from newbie sockpuppets, only established 100+ post users will be allowed to participate.

The minimum commitment is 0.1BTC. The maximum is 100BTC per person.

Disclaimer: Although I think pirate is a high risk venture due to a complete lack of transparency on his part, I am sorely reminded that the forum needs to be taught a lesson when it comes to crying wolf on things without evidence. It's getting sickening. "SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!". So put your money where your mouth and bet for a better bitcoin forum/community overall.

For the record, the address to remit your funds to if you indeed lose is 13dSK4663Ts7j2PwHS1eUVjycKLBwx7PJM

Thank you and good luck!

I reserve the right to lock this thread and stop accepting additional bets at any time. All existing bets in the thread will still be honored regardless.

Damn, son. I like when people use bets to show their conviction to an opinion. That's how men settle things, in my opinion

hell yea!

@OP How is it that you are doubling if on a 20BTC bet you only will be sending 20BTC when you lose?

Because I'm not holding the moneys. These posts are for commitments to pay only. As in, you could say you're going to pay 20BTC, so if you win, why would I send you 40BTC?

Also, would someone please quote the OP so that it can't be said that I changed it later?

This was a horrible childish prank that made me look bad and I have no excuse, just that I won't do anything like this again.

I have settled with mostly everyone who bet in this troll thread and it sucks having this be one of the things I'm remembered for, but I won't let it happen again. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/september-2012-bet-resolution-140654
