I think MNW thread is a great solution for people who feel destined to lose their pirate deposits + also the entertainment value is priceless if your life savings are not at stake
ok ,some people are into pirate for 25,000 -100,000+usd and they are most likely screwed if they
bet invested money they couldnt afford and pirate is already in jamaica drinking rum with
no intentions of coming back ....
everyone hassling matthew about his funding or how many caucausius coins he owns should lay off
if you dont trust a few coins of risk in a bet just keep them in your wallet cause gamblings probably not for you anyway
the only concern i would have is that pirate is funding this bet since hes the only one who can really influence the outcome ?

If you do in fact have 10,000 Bitcoins in Casascius products, you personally account for 1/4 of all the active wealth inside them, as a fellow collector I find this extremely interesting.
If you were a collector, you should know about "Roll your own coins". I do not need to own 10,000 individual 1Ƀ coins or even 2,000 individual 5Ƀ coins. I can own a 0.3155111Ƀ and 9 separate 1,111.11111111Ƀ coins if I wanted to (TL;DR? I load my own coins.) Now, part of the reason I'm being purposely vague is for my privacy and protection. The other is because the conspiracy theories are fascinatingly entertaining for me.

I thought the chances of him paying were very high until that guy brought up Matthew saying the funds were on casascius gold bar(s) but if you look here http://casascius.uberbills.com/ there's only BTC6,000 unopened.
Did anyone say it was on a coin or bar for sure? Did anyone say it wasn't spread across more than one coin or bar?
He says funds are his but refuses to provide signed address or picture on the bar(s). Refuses escrow. Seems out of character for someone always calling people out over transparency.
So keep calling me out on my lack of transparency. I don't think anyone is listening, but carry on.Lots of hostility between him and his colleagues (Bitcoin Magazine) over this pirate stuff lately as well.

edit: respecting bob here, don't want to argue or multi-post. Here's backing of hostility claim in Matthew's own words, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1124864. Or just look at any exchange between him and Vlad these last couple days.

Both option 1 and option 2 for me. I'd do the same if I had the coins and the cajones.
August 23, 2012, 12:44:34 AM
You forgot another option - he has more than 10k BTC waiting to be repaid by pirate, if there's a default he will still get paid, if there isn't, he'll take the hit and be happy he has the rest.
August 23, 2012, 12:14:33 AM
Voted "He WILL pay up: He is teaching the forum an expensive lesson", because that is the most likely case (pirate paying back is also a decent possibility)
However, I think many of the other options are POSSIBLE and bettors should consider these as risks when betting.

Someone paid a lot of money for ads or the next move, this time up to 10,000 BTC, that's all.

It would help if you posted a link to where the bet was made.
EDIT: Thanks for the link

This is not a discussion or a troll thread, so please ONLY POST ONCE here (of course, feel free to edit your post). I would like to hear the opinions of other Bitcointalk members on this incredible wager that is unfolding as we speak. What do you think about this situation, and more importantly, why?
I don't know what to think, other than that I trust he will pay if he loses. I will pay if I lose my 65 BTC end of the bet.
This isn't meant to be an inflammatory or a redundant thread (I don't think it is), I am sincerely curious.
