"Ernomad you are on. 4 July and $3000. Bring your money to the agm. I will be there unless I am out of the country. In which case my money will be there unless of course I win. Then I will just give you my hotel bill."
Why would anyone who believes in the JV occurring accept an even money bet??? You should buy more stock with the money as the payoff would be much greater than 100% if the deal went through.
