    What do you mean "what happened?" Nothing happened. I strongly agree with both statements. Of course, I also understand the current odds of the expected outcome.

    What exactly do you think you're proving?

    The odds are 20 to 1. But for you surfer, i'll go $20 at 4 to 1. Why wouldn't you make this bet?

    your more obtuse than i thought. you strongly believe both statements

    "its not going to happen"

    "there's a 95% chance of it happening"

    --- don't twist the facts, i offered the bet, not you--take or leave it.

    very congruent!

    hahahaha

  4. Is this surfer person insane? Do you think you "got me" surfer?? You are pathetic! Yes, I strongly believe the Fed rate cut won't happen. Yes, I also understand the odds are 95%. Thus (here's where I know i'll lose you...) I will be making a big, big bet that it won't happen, and that the 95% will be disappointed. Please tell me where i've lost you with this simple logic I use.

    Maybe you don't actually trade, so you really don't understand.

  5. hahahaha. but you won't bet me a measly $50.00 here in a public forum??? yeah, that makes sense. it's a straight binary bet, what is that you don't understand?? i initiated it, not you, stop twisting things bobby and step up.

  6. I'll take it. You have $20 on no Fed cut at the Sep07 meeting. I pay $80 if no cut is seen. Would you be willing to up the action at those odds?

  7. A straight-up bet on this meeting is ridiculous.

  9. Fairval on the bet is 20:1. 4:1 is a gift.
