meh,<div>I don't want to take bet number 1. </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Understood. Please notice what you're saying here: you think you are unlikely in practice (less than 17%, if you were a rational money-maximizer) to convince people on this list to line up behind IRV. I obviously agree with this assessment, or I would not have offered the bet.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, what does that mean for the utility of signing the statement? I know how I'd answer that question, but I want to know how you do.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<div>So I'll take bet number 2, </div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>OK, we'll talk off-list about settling the details of bet 2 ("10 years from now, IF there have been over 20 independent cases of voting reform in the USA, then 10 of them will/will not be IRV.")</div>
