Did anyone try what exactly? To place a bet & lose... Many here are passionate gamblers, and I believe that many people from here have tried a lot of things. Normal & crazy bets, foolish & thoughtful, smart & stupid. And sometimes we had the luck to win, sometimes we were close.

By the way, I think it's hard to get any information out of a bet like this. If you really want to do an experiment, put more time and energy into it...
Good luck man!
