I tried this before, without any takers, but hopefully someone is bored of eve enough to take my gamble. My current wallet is EXACTLY 8B, that's the totality of my assets. I want to gamble 8B on the toss of a coin.
Here's what we'll do: We both transfer 8B to Chribba, a well known Eve celebrity famed for his honesty. He agreed to handle this for me before. He then flips a coin and you pick. You either win or lose, and the winner gets the full 16B.
If this is unacceptable, but you want to gamble still, we can pick odd/even on a lottery draw, or any other proposed 50/50 method that can be verified or handled by Chribba.

I think it's a great idea, particularly becuz I know Chribba is entirely trustworthy.

You don't think it would be exciting to stake 8B on a win or lose gamble? You're no fun!

I wouldn't have a problem holding the ISK, I would suggest picking a public method of drawing thought (like the odd/even number of a bonus ball in a lottery eg) rather than me flipping a coin.
I'd happily help out with the ISK but feel free to use another method of drawing than me. 
Hope to see this one kick off in a near future.

Fair enough Chribba! Last time I proposed the bonus ball of http://www.megamillions.com/ be used. They go from 1-46, so you can pick if you want odd or even.
I would love to make a smaller bet, but I want this to be an all or nothing thing, I'm going all in and I hope someone is brave enough to accept.

It's possible to do this securely without using a trusted third party.
Granted, you'd need some a program to do the maths for you. |

Hey, at this point he'll have the full 8B!
I'll let this run a little longer to see if anyone has the full 8B to bet, as assets are a pain to liquidate (if I win I plan to buy myself a new main!), but if nobody else has any balls maybe we'll just go for it anyway. :)

Boo!
I had 8 bill in assets rounded up :( At least it gave me the excuse to calculate what I got sitting around
Can understand you want to have the iskies rather then the assets though :(
If the terroist drops out im up for it
Good luck to you both

Fantastic! Would you like odd or even on the mega ball drawn? I will transfer my 8B to Chribba right now, and the next drawing is tomorrow (I believe the drawing happens around 0400 from memory).
If these terms are acceptable, reply with odd/even and transfer your isk to Chribba. He'll then monitor for the next draw and let us know who wins!

Just to confirm: http://www.megamillions.com/winningpicks/last_25.asp is the drawing page, and it'll be the one dated 4/29. Once he picks odd/even, I will (obviously) take the opposite side and the drawing of the 'Mega Ball' will determine who is the winner!

Why someone who uses 'da' instead of 'the' has 8b is beyond me.
