He might even be willing to bet on what he just wrote, if we had a contract that said something like, "Andrea Rossi to be charged with fraud in connection with the Ecat within 1 year." But I detect that Blaze is learning a thing or 2 while he spends time on Vortex, and that's reflected in his initial offer of 10:1 odds going down to 3:1 odds that the Ecat isn't real or Rossi != Wright Brothers. When money is on the table, the game tightens. Someone like Joshua Cude can just be blithely off by 4 THOUSAND orders of magnitude and nothing holds him accountable. But if Joshua were to put his money where his mouth was, a penny bet would generate more money than he could ever pay back in a hundred lifetimes. So when someone is willing to put their money where their mouth is, I consider them to be a small-s skeptic.
