My 100mil that he wont do it against your billion saying he will?
It's a deal then? If Bouncer Ricdic's value in ISK (assets, ISK in wallet, ISK in escrow) is at least 1 billion ISK by 16th of February, then you pay me 100m. Otherwise, I'll pay you 1b.

Good luck with this Ric, sounds like fun. :)
It'll be very tough but I think if you really go at it for the first 100 mil, it might be doable.

If you complete this I will be VERY impressed. You will probably exceed my net worth and I have been playing for over a year.
I do have 1 problem.
The bet arose from a noob player stating that they gained 1 billion in a month, or something like that.
A BRAND NEW player would not have the expertise to identify the purchase for 1000 ISK and reprocess etc. You are using all your skill and experience built up over time to beat this challenge, I just doubt a truly new player could do it.
Either way it will be a good effort if you do!

Yeh theres no way for me to fake being a noob much more than I am already doing. I gave myself a disadvantage to start by having such a crap character for the job. That's gonna be the hardest obstacle I cross I think. There's tons of opportunities for me and I even have the available capital now but just don't have enough order slots.
I will make do with what I have (and can train). Implants will be a likely addition soon tho.

hehe thanks Fitz. Block I have evemailed you my API details for Bouncer Ricdic so you can see what I am doing 
As I said to him in an evemail, once this project is complete I would like to have a public version of it, not to show high profit items but to show how almost every item on the market is a potential high profit item if you know how to approach it.

Now this will be fun to watch.
I have a lot of respect for Ricdic, but having attempted this myself twice (although not under race conditions) with a 10m float, I don't think it can be done with new player skills within 4 weeks, unless he is extremely lucky with the final 500m when he casts his net for the bigger fish. My guess is he'll hit the half-way point and stumble at the end due to time constraints.
So, for fun, I'll offer 100m that he doesn't reach the 1-bil target, if anyone fancies the 1/1 bet?
Good luck Ricdic - I really hope you do it despite my bet against you sir :-)

Nice one Leo (shakes on it). I'll enjoy watching Ricdic's progress even more now there's a bet involved :-)
Good luck.

If anyone's interested, I'll take a 100m bet on this at 5:1 odds against that he won't succeed. As in I bet my 100m that he'll fail against someone else's 500m that he'll succeed. I have no doubt that Ricdic's a great trader but I think he's put too many initial restrictions onboard to get the job done in one month. I would gladly pay 100m for the privilege of being proven wrong on this magnificent idea for an adventure. Any takers?

To be completely honest, I didn't think such "deals" were even possible anymore... guess I was horribly wrong.

Well I'm good for my bet, and I have no problem with Leo.
If Leo is unsure of me though - Eve bank holds enough of my isk to more than cover this and I authorise them to pay out to Leo from my account after 48-hours if I lose the bet, should I not pay him within 48-hours, which I will.
It's not the winning that counts - it's enjoying the race :-)

I'll gladly hold onto isk for these bets as a trusted third party for a mere 2% cut of the winnings. I'm absolutely serious, if someone wants to do that I'm fine with it.

I can confirm Ricdic is not just leveling the field by using a new character and 5k but playing like a noob as well. He autopiloted several jumps into low sec where, sitting AFK on a gate, he lost his Ibis. 
I sincerely doubt I could turn 5k into 1B in a month but I have faith that Ricdic can pull it off if he really throws himself into it. At large values it's definitely possible to double up 5B in a month, if you really pushed things you might even be able to triple it but it would take quite a few hours per day, at least 1 alt and significant transport skills so I don't know how you're going to pull off anything over a billion without some spaceship command skills.

Originally by: Jackie Fisher 10 mil that he will pass 1.1 bil in the month? I'll take you up on that if you are willing to gamble with a stranger.
So for Jackie Fisher if he makes it over 1,100,000,000.00 ISK in assets/escrow/ISK you pay me 10mil, if not I pay you 10mil. I'll take that.
Originally by: Ciuby I bet 10mil that he won't make it... not that i wouldn't want for him to succeed, but i think it's impossible :D
For Ciuby if he makes over 1,000,000,000.00 ISK in assets/escrow/ISK you pay me 10mil, if not I pay you 10mil. I'll take that.

What, does nobody else have enough faith in Ricdic to bet big on him except for his close employees in zzz? Come on, I'm betting my 100m that he'll fail to hit 1b after one month against your 500m that he will.

If you are that willing to bet against him, why dont you do it on 1:1?

I beleive that 1:1 odds would be starkly against me. There is a very real chance that he will succeed and I personally want to see some more high-rollers in his support club. There's already a 10:1 bet for 100m riding on it, I'm sure someone has enough confidence in ricdic to risk a 5:1.
I'll make it 4:1 but that offer is only open for the next 24 hours.
