Update: Howard and I have been exchanging emails. El Diablo has vouched for his character and net worth.

I will be sending the 1k to Howard sometime in the next few days. He will put the 26k in an interest earning account. He will also write a formal letter detailing in what event the money will be turned over to me.

I'll have El Diablo read over the legal mumbo jumbo just to make sure it's all legit.

As of now, it looks like the bet is official.

ZJ has it right: I just sent a draft to both ZJ and El D. In line with ZJ's "just for fun" comments below, I added two terms that ZJ hasn't approved yet. If he wins, I must change my avatar to add the text "ZJ's roar is as a lion's among tiny kittens." If I win, he has to change his to "I bow to the great glory of Howard Treesong."

Of course, he doesn't get 25:1 leverage on these provisions. But I am giving him the best of it on the underlying bet by laying 25 to 1 on what he says is a 4% proposition.

Of course, ZJ, if you don't like the additions, the underlying bet still stands.

Lol. I plan on losing this bet, so I'll pass on the extra provisions.
