Yes, I can honestly deny that.
While I was vaguely aware there were bets going on, I don't and still have no reason to care about their terms or outcome.
If I were doing it to influence a bet, I would have posted it immediately, instead of as an afterthought 20 minutes after
I posted them to my BFL-hosted blog.
So you are suggesting that it is pure coincidence that
1) You "received" your device some hours before the bet deadline (during Easter holidays)
2) You decided to write your post at about the deadline time (depending on time zone)
3) You felt the need to use the words "as of yesterday" and post pictures taken by somebody else
How convenient!
