I am offering 1 person (the first person to take the bet) the chance to bet against me and the chance to almost double their 1 billion isk entry fee on the uk national lottery bonus ball for this Saturday 9th of August.
If no-one takes the bet before this Saturday it will carry over to the next Saturday.
The way it will work is the 2nd party will choose odd or even. When the bonus ball on the UK national lottery falls on the following Saturday the winner will be known. I have no other part in the bet other than offering 1 billion isk. The 2nd party will choose odd or even. Chribba has been contacted to hold th isk for the event and hopefully will take the opportunity.
The winner will recieve the winnings minus Chribba's fee (if he becoms involved).
More details will be posted as they become available. _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

If we loose the bet, do we loose our money if we are wrong? If not, then I say even.

well if you pick even thats leaves me with odd, so if the bonus ball is an even number you'd win if it's an odd number i'd win.
still waiting for chribba to respond. _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

If you can't connect with Chribba, I suspect that Fitz VonHeise would be willing to hold the isk. And if neither are available, I'd be willing to hold the isk, but then I'm nowhere near as well-known as those other gentlemen. Ya gotta start somewhere though.

I would be willing and I actually will do this for free this week. (or if the first challenge continues into other weeks)
Contact me if you are interested in my services.

Actually it entirely 50/50 as the number 0 counts as an even number.
MDD and Fitz could you post references/links to jobs you have undertaken please.
Azula I will be incontact to see if you are still interested in this and if you are happy to use MDD or Fitz once their references have been obtained. _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

Originally by: Satrani Destiva Edited by: Satrani Destiva on 08/08/2008 19:49:24 [EDIT] I made a comment without checking and I was wrong so I deleted it.[/EDIT]
I have had no contact whatsoever from Chribba so I have contacted Selene D'celeste of Ebank to hold our Isk (no offence chaps but I just don't know you well enough).
Once Selene responds I'm sure a post will be made here to confirm or deny the isk holding service. If it's a positive response I will forward my bil to Selene and any serious opponent should do the same. Once the isk has been sent to the 3rd party the game is on and the result will be drawn odd or even on the following Saturday's UK lottery bonus ball.
Contacted, confirmed, ISK received, and safely stowed away in a spare corp wallet.
I believe this means anyone taking your bet should also forward ISk to myself, however I would appreciate a heads up via convo/evemail/etc so I know what is going on. Otherwise, good luck folks.

Thanks Selene.
Yes if anyone takes the bet, please confirm here then contact Selene before forwarding the isk to her. Once that is done my opponent will choose either odd or even and then it's down to fate.
Azula is still trying to decide whether she can afford to possibly lose a bil so until we get a positive confirmation the floor is still open. _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

Well, I have problems giving someone who isn't in the bet 1 Billion ISK to "hold". But, after careful thinking, and asking my Lucky 8 Ball, I'll take it. But, based on previous lotteries always being odd, I pick odd. Oh god I hope I didn't make a mistake...

At the time of your post the lottery draw for tonights lottery had already taken place an hour and a half before hand so I take it you are sending the isk for Selene to hold for next Saturday's lottery? _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

Edited by: CetusOfAsuran on 10/08/2008 15:20:21 yes, the draw was early this week and was drawn at 20:10(current uk time) as the forum also uses eve-time (gmt) that post entry was 1:07 too late.
Would suggest putting a time limit entry on this, officially on uk lotto entries finish at 19:30(18:30 gmt) would reccomend that.
good luck. p.s. if you want to time check future draws use this tells the exacxt time of draws aswel as results time check plz

Thanks Cetus.
Deadline will be 18:30 GMT (EVE time) on the Saturday. This offer is open until 18:30 Saturday 30th of August. If no interested party comes forward to take the bet then Selene will refund the majority of the isk (minus a holding fee) and the event will be cancelled.
So that's 3 weeks to find someone willing to bet 1bil.
OP is being updated with new info. -

Evemail received, but no ISK yet, I believe Mr 7 was waiting on confirmation from me. I'll notify via this thread as soon as it's received and placed with the other Billion.

Today's the day, tonight's the night.
I wish MR 7 good luck and I hope the result is odd.
In the future I might make another pot using odd and even where numerous people can join in each depositing a bil into the pot and the winners sharing the resulting prize. I will talk to Selene about it and see if there might be any interest in it. -
