kakobrekla: "BFLS and it's derivative are now closed permanently. Server, I'm sorry if this upsets you, but it really is the best thing for everyone going forward and nets a tidy profit for everyone who held shares. Each $600 units worth of shares has paid back $759.2 + whatever it's earned over it's lifetime, which is not an insignificant amount and is > 100% profit on the investment. I think that's pretty good for a little over a year, personally."

mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit lol
fractal: I'm glad there was at least a note on the bet that addressed the uncertaintly of it.... and even though fraud is a strong word -- you have thick skin, -- i think you've called every other exchange a scam/fraud at least a few times ;)
fractal: I'm glad you could at least see both ends yourself --- but why can't they be annulled due to poor language? what if the admin accidently allows a bad bet, and only realizes its a bad bet afterwards?
