But then, I just lost 700m in a gamble on a noob.
Is it a gamble if you have no idea of the odds? Or an act of faith?

You think I had no idea of the odds, when forum history provides us a fairly good idea of the (statistical) odds.
Touche.
I must admit that my own statistical research showed that just investing in everything, as long as it was the same amount per offering, provided a small profit over time. So you are right, those odds were available, even in the absence of any further information.

Christ. Let me explain Misty.
Goons actually fund the exuberant noobs bouncing around asking for isk rather than laughing at them like we do. Goons go further and provide detailed fora posting and individual help for baby bees. Basically the idea is to set up all the people around you for success and fun. It's an odd concept, I know.
Despite protestations to the contrary, I would argue that for a null alliance Goons are not very wealthy. This will likely change in the next few months as they find themselves sucking in Tech and Neo whilst no longer pouring out Maelstroms and meta4 howitzers.
The alliance itself is not as wealthy as many individual members. This is mostly by design, so that another karttooning no longer has the chance to do as much of note/because space communism.
Our members, however, are certainly among the richest in the game. We think 10% is a minimum because we don't log in for under a billion and we don't really expect our newbies to, either. That MD thinks a 5b bond requires 10 people to fill it is actually yet another meta-troll on the Eve community by our standards.
I'm confused. Why would you compare a forum with about 50 active participants to a 5000 man alliance?
I also don't understand the significance of 10 people investing in a 5bil bond on MD. MD investors have no group affiliation with their investees and the investees will suffer pretty much zero sanctions for defaulting. Diversification of investments will be more important to MD investors than it will be to goons, as goons get higher returns and lower default rates internally. MD doesn't think a 5bil bond requires 10 people to fill it (indeed MD doesn't think anything having no group mind) and there are plenty of people here capable of filling 5bil bonds singlehandedly (and 20bil, even 100bil if you look at some of Torn Soul's recent bonds; I think Grendell might have even picked up 200bil from 2 people). That they don't fill every bond from someone they have no reason to trust doesn't really say anything.
But please, continue with the ideological propaganda. It's fun to watch and at least of slightly higher quality than the CAOD norm.

Ask yourself this: what less damning things could you honestly expect goons to post in a thread on MD?
Pretty much anything we say will be dismissed as a confidence racket, a scam, a troll, or uninformed blather.
There is no motivation for us to post anything you would consider 'good,' when we know that you will not consider anything that we post to be 'good'.
Don't kid yourself that my comments were prejudiced. Kalrand makes plenty of good posts on this forum that seem fully within the spirit of being a goon but don't drop into the realms of the crude 'we better than you dam pubbies!'. From my reading of it, goon posting is at its best and most devastating when it makes a compelling case as well as trolls. Don't goodpost for me, do it for yourselves  .
Edit - the point of my previous post was that the comments weren't really damning at all but were actually fairly incoherent.

My offerings have more red flags than a Swedish Social Democratic Party rally.
Classy. If you're not already using it there are a few more here:

When I make a post, its like Flag Day in Algeria.
[whispers] The Algerian flag is green and white.
Edit - Morocco perhaps?
