I think the Liberals will gain in the next election. I believe that conviction so much I'm willing to back that up with more than words.

If you doubt your own word so much that you are not willing to put up money, how about a simple avatar bet?
A) I'm not a money gambler, so an Avatar bet would work for me. Ask anyone who knows me, I don't gamble with cash anymore for personal reasons.
B) I never said I was truly politically saavy, I'm just a schmub with an opinion. Oh and gut feelings based on what I've seen and whats been polled. So for me to gamble based on that would be a fools game, for all I know the guy on the other side of the bet is a political science student with 40 years experience in predicting trends in elections.

But I'll take the avy bet.
