This is... unfortunate.
First, and again, nobody placed any bets. Or at least I'm not aware of any bets being placed.
In most forums I have seen there is always a small group of people who will occasionally say they are going to leave, then return after a very brief time. In this forum zeroturbulence is part of this group. I have observed him leave and return multiple times. I even remember one thread labeled toodloo or something like that, where I read the thread title and made a guess that zero was leaving, and he said I was very perceptive.
So when zero said he was leaving again, I guessed he would be back soon. When it turned out I was right, I tried to make the observation that I had predicted as much, but I couched it in a jocular tone by phrasing it as betting odds. It seems this did not work out very well.
Again, to my knowledge no actual bets were placed. I was just making an observation that I had predicted to myself that zero would return soon.
Clear as mud?
