-complex gambler speak-
I'm not much of a "gambler" but personal bets are fun..
This won't be the first time I've won and been paid on a bet like this here

but could be my first loss...
I like the bet and don't want to hedge against it..
I wanted the bet and someone finally took it, and I'm glad it's you for a few reasons..
the quote from me above was not to suggest a wager, but was pointing out the fact that it is really easy to pretend you were on the right track all along after the fact when you dither, fence sit, and never declare your own conclusions. Some people like to feel smart on the sidelines never even risking a prediction.
You didn't pressure me, I just upped the ante..
No fence for me..
Maybe I should bet people on stuff like this more often.. I'll keep it in mind..
