Would you care to place a very large wager on that statement, Sir Know-all, See-all?

You see others here speaking out against me? Where do you see this and why would they?

You have 5, 10, or 15 Joe Jax E90-1s and they are all the same exact color and the same exact register?

That's very special, Baron Munchausen! But let's get back to your perception of your infallibility as a prognosticator, soothsayer, and seer. Your uncanny singular ability of omnipresence.

Do you really believe in what you say? Enough to make a large wager? Again, without really knowing, you are quite sure that I am bidding on this card. I say that you are wrong and this is just one more of your know-it-all statements that have no basis on personal knowledge beyond idle random speculation, as incredible a concept as that may be to you that you may be wrong about something. This is quite a simple thing to find out, either way. Let's nip you in the bud since you believe that you're dealing with children who are beneath your advanced station in life.

Let's see if you really believe in yourself. I am willing to meet to make a documented "all-in" wager of an extremely substantial amount, involving property, homes, businesses, personal holdings and other tangible property, and liquid assets equal to the limits of your wager, which I hope will be a sizable one since you are so sure that you have all the answers therefore I must be bluffing.

The bet is simple. If I at any time did bid on that card, even if I retracted, you win. I'm the jerk and you're a very rich man if you weren't already.

If I didn't bid on the card at any time, I win, you're the jerk and I'm a richer man. I'm quite serious about the whole matter.

For once, just one time, will you have the courage to stand behind your words with a wager or not? Will you make this wager so you won't embarrass yourself any further in front of your peers with an ever increasing string of hogwash that you have no intention of backing up?

Of course, there's the coward's alternative. Please feel free to rant about "how ridiculous this is", and "I don't care who's bidding on it", and all the rest of the BS that you'll follow up this post with in avoiding the one inevitible question I posed to you, which I would side-wager, you'll skirt the issue on and not accept the challenge on:
Will you wager on if I have placed a bid on this card or not?
