Atticus, I don't have the money you do, so I can't do a large bet. Nor would I knowing what my wife would do to me. But I'll do a $100 paypal bet with you. Just to be clear, I'll take Romney for the win. Even money. You have Obama. This post serves as evidence, and I think you know I'll keep my word and I know you will, too. We good? If by some act of God Romney doesn't win the primary (which is impossible) or dies before the election, the bet is null and void. Same with Obama on your end. That's our only Force Majeure.
We're on. $100. I wasn't attempting to goad you, just confident in the wager. FWIW, I am not voting for either individual.
10 large eh?.. i was thinking more like a 100 lol. You don't need to read the whole thread I posted the same bet nice and clear so there is no confusion.. if you want either the cash or the other bet on pg96, or both I'm in. Straight up obama wins I pay you, he loses you pay me. I don't think I've ever used paypal but if its easier than just wiring it I'll pay that way should I lose.
You're on for $100. Yeah, PP is very quick and you don't have to have an existing account to receive.
Romney at 37.90/100 on the binary to win. http://www.intrade.com/v4/markets/contract/?contractId=743475
These money bets are an easy way out. Should the loser welch, he can just deny it, and none of us will know the truth of it. The "stop posting for a month" bets are best, the loser can't welch on those without all of us knowing. No, most in this rabidly ideological crew would rather lose $100 than shut their flapping hole for a month.
