There have been numerous threads here about Niederhoffer. Also, when I changed my handle, I openly mentioned it a few times here. Back on topic, I've never said word one against this war. I'm not eager to put our troops in danger, but like the president said- the risk is greater if we do...

Vinny, I'm breaking this ID out of retirement to grant the contrition you have earned. I was wrong about the war-timing. While the war is starting a bit later than you thought it would, you would have won our bet. Pity you couldn't accept Niederhoffer, Baron, or Metooxx as escrow, you'd be...

The war must begin in the 5 month window between November and March. Otherwise it is simply too hot to wear all the necessary chemical warfare protective gear. The average high in Baghdad is already 96 degrees in May, climbing up to 110 degrees in July. The weather then stays hellish all the...

Sure, this is a wager I'm still happy to accept, even for 5 or 10 times the amount suggested by vinny. The issue is, that although vinny might be the richest kid in his special education class, he is not willing/able to actually bet $10,000. He is the garden variety message board troll, and...

I'm done talking to this short bus riding shortboy. Nevertheless, I feel the need to point out to my fellow E.T. members that I've never welched on a bet in my life. This is a baseless accusation by a complete moron.

Laying odds on the war: http://wwweb4.worldwager.com/asp/WWFrame.asp?SportType=12 Political Prop: Will Saddam Hussain be President of Iraq on 6/30/03? Yes: -200 (200 bet pays 100 profit) No: +160 (100 bet pays 160 profit) So those of you who are so positive we plan to fight...

I'm done feeding the troll. We're done now- don't expect me to talk to you. Maybe you can make friends with one of the other kids on your short bus.

I just found the perfect solution to our problem! From Business 2.0 Mag (Please don't tell me you've never heard of Business 2.0): <b>British still don't have quite enough chances to take one another's money. So they've created a wagering website, Flutter.com, and attracted $43.2 million...

I said nothing about our ability to fight in sandstorms. Spring is the sandstorm season in the middle east, and is no obstacle to the U.S. military. The main issue here is not sand, but temperature. The war must begin in the 5 month window between November and March. Otherwise it is simply...

Mondo, I'm just betting against the likelihood of a war in the next 1/2 year. I wouldn't want to put down a bet against war over a longer time frame than 9 months from now. There are too many short term problems for our military to undertake this task during this current cool season. Pres...

If he's willing to serve as escrow, i guess I'd consider going along with it. Although, I'd really prefer someone I can be confident will be around in 1/2 a year from now. Are you sure that Baron (owner of elitetrader) isn't fit to serve as escrow? Can anybody here suggest a reputable...

I wasn't going to press the issue but that does it, pussy. I'm <b>letting you pick the escrow</b>, assuming it's someone/some firm fit to serve in this capacity. My money will be there tommorow. C'mon vinny, quit acting like a stereotype Sicillian and put your money where your mouth is...

Vic was George Soros' top protege in the 80's ... Victor founded a merger-and-acquisition firm in the mid-1960s. For a decade, he was unbeaten as national squash champion. In the late 1970s Victor began speculating in commodity markets, making and losing several fortunes. He started trading...

Yes, that is exactly what I am. Ayn Rand wrote extensively about this sort of looter. Jesse Jackass is no different than Orren Boyle & Wesley Mouch.

Touche'. My mention of 'dice' as blind gambling was a bad example, although my understanding is that even the best expert craps player can only hope to achieve odds of 50/50. That's why you never hear of casinos giving the bum's rush to winning craps players like they do to card counters...

Not only are you a pussy, but you're an ignorant pussy who's never even heard of Victor Niederhoffer. If you really wanted to bet $10,000 on the possibility of a war, you'd have suggested an alternative escrow. You're just all hot air, aren't you? Hii a, I think you brought up an excellent...

As most of you know, career extortionist & expert looter Jesse Jackson rang the NYSE opening bell today, followed by a long softball interview by Maria. Is this one of the causes of the steep selloff right at the open?

Omaha is standard fare at online poker sites. I think all the sites mentioned in this thread carry omaha games, including www.partypoker.com -my fave poker site.

$10,000 bet- even money on war in the next 1/2 year? You're filled! I'm not talking about a little air raid or cruise missile here and there- that's been going on for the last 12 years. I'll take this little wager as high as $50,000 if you'd like. If it stays at $10,000 I'll allow Baron...

Those clowns have been running that ad since summer of '01. You'd think they'd be out of business by now. But hey, Miss Cleo's ads ran for even longer, so I guess there may be enough simpletons out there to keep this sort of operation afloat.
