I wasn't the modern time Nostradamus really as I lost the bets this time. But it was close enough. Just one additional empty netter would have sufficed for a ****load of money.
Maybe next time.
As you boldly entered a hostile and unpopular terrain with all the odds against (or in favour of you) and made such a visionary unconventional bet we can consider you a winner, on moral grounds.
But just a tip for that next time. Protect your investments by splitting the stake to a) an unqualified win which at least if and when realized returns your total stake & b) a more bold gamble with a handicapped win (- n, where n=1, 2, 3...); actually c) you can do this in multiple recursive steps (n=0, 1, 2, 3...) - and the net is safer and sounder...
