You're assuming, of course, that you wouldn't be voted down to below -50, in which case no one wins.

I was planning on making sure the terms allowed for me to make the thread as a comment on an existing thread. I admit that giving myself favorable terms was bad for the virality of this post. The whole thing would have worked better if Jack was willing to continue discussing terms with me, and he would have been more likely to do so if the terms of the bet were actually good for him.

I might try to get people to transfer karma via a different post. Does anyone want to play flip a coin or rock paper scissors for karma?
