What happens to the bet if HPMOR ends without it being revealed who Mr.Hat&Cloak happens to be?

We might agree to call the bet off by February 28th 201[5] if the bet is not resolved by then. If there's somehow a definitional dispute, we work it out, possibly with someone else on the forum arbitrating. Default option is to cancel the bet.

So you aren't really up for betting?

If I lose the bet I will laugh it off. You probably should not accept unless you would do the same.

I believe he(?) means he will laugh off the loss of the money, in the sense of treating it as not a big deal.
