Raddedas bet’s £100 that the Apple iPhone sales will flop

Kudos to Techype’s Raddedas who’s putting his money where his keyboard is. Link: techype: Wager

Instead I’m happy to wait until I’m vindicated, but the one iPhone thing I would like to do is make a relatively substantial wager, say £100, that they will sell fewer than half the number of iPhones Jobs is predicting to actual consumers during the first year of its release. I think putting your money where your mouth is is just so much better than mouthing off in blogs – and I wish I’d done the same with Moto stock a year ago 🙂

Talk to Raddedas if you’d like to take him up on the bet.

I’m sure you can find a bet match on one of the UK betting sites, Raddedas!

  1. I did have a peak at a few of them and they seemed to only be taking bets in certain categories where they could easily verify who had won – sports matches, financial market data etc rather than something a little more ambiguous like this that needs a human judge… but if anyone knows of a site that would take the bet then please let me know!

    I’ve actually already had an offer from an ex-editor of Macworld, but I might be willing to make a second wager of the same size – I’m pretty confident but maybe £200 is enough to risk on one thing 🙂
