Nuclear Iran Bet Update

John Podhoretz engaged my proposed nuclear Iran bet on Twitter.  Highlights of the exchange:

@bryan_caplan I’ll bet you but why such long odds?

.@jpodhoretz I propose long odds because you claim very high confidence (“effectively ensures”). I don’t.

@bryan_caplan Already hedging your bet and there isn’t even one! Bock bock bock!

.@jpodhoretz I’m not too chicken to admit my ignorance. Are you?

— Bryan Caplan (@bryan_caplan) July 28, 2015

@bryan_caplan I’m too bored to play Twitter with you

.@jpodhoretz Betting is a great substitute for fruitless argument. Sign here and the bet is on.

My offer remains open.  And I’m happy to negotiate the terms.  O ye of great knowledge, come take my money!
