Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Nobody compelled me to compose memoirs, so they are there for a purpose. Perhaps I will tell, perhaps not. 
So you made a bold prediction - "won't go below 435!" Then you wanted 7 to 1 odds against it. LOL! Are you even listening to yourself?
I'm not trying to be hard on you and yes, I admit I called you out, only to try to get you to take the bet quickly. You don't like to take reasonable bets, only unreasonable ones, so I thought I might gode you into a reasonable one.
But you are making yourself look bad here, not me or anyone else.
7:1 odds are a bargain, very reasonable indeed to even the slightest bear. you should have taken the bet.
He never offered him 7:1 odds, for one thing. He only mentioned that is what he would be willing to accept after the fact.
If you're talking shit that it's NEVER going to break 435 again, putting your money where your mouth is would be taking pretty much any bet for any odds that came your way, assuming you weren't bullshitting, which he obviously was. Not taking an even money bet on something you perceive to be a lock is ridiculous, so his mouth said "never below 435" but his money said "eh, like 20% chance of not under 435." See the difference?
This is a great way of expressing the situation.

Which part of the Call to Bet was difficult to understand?
Based on my research, I don't believe we will see 435 ever again (Bitstamp). If someone is willing to bet (I naturally expect much better than 1:1 for me), PM please.

This is just the 2013-7-18 again. No looking back (when you least expect it).

Perhaps you fit in the description in my Lamentation...
EPILOGUE
It is difficult to read the thread because of so many posts, especially if you are of the type that never checks the sources and relies on people. But then you will also get the objectively wrong idea of what is happening. Here I wanted to have a nice private bet with anyone who thinks that breaking 435 is imminent and is willing to give me great odds for defending it.

Have you noticed that not a single person with high standing has criticized me? It is the same trolls over and over, twisting simple and clear words, or teens with fingers hard-wired to bypass the brain.
There you go with more of your ad hominem attacks and denials. I certainly am NO troll, and I think that your criticism is misplaced with me and with almost all of the others regarding this point.
Likely, you need to take responsibility for your ambiguous words, your lack of clarity in bet terms and your failure to work with anyone to finalize a meaningful and reasonable bet... which probably shows that you just were NOT committed to your assertion... and you misspoke and internally contradicted yourself, then your pride got in the way so that you would NOT back out.
