Sorry, but after you wimped out of the Lou Knee bet with Judith, I don't really trust you. What were you playing at there? You can't ever have thought you had a chance of winning, so presumably you were bluffing and hoping she wouldn't actually take you up on the bet. Perhaps you were obfuscating and trying to give a false impression on Chapman's behalf? Did you want people to think "Oh well if Wm... is prepared to bet on it then he must *know* that Chapman didn't make the post"? A shame that Judith took up your offer in that case....

Anyway you're probably doing something similar here and so it would just be a waste of my time. Frankly I think it's a pretty fuckwitted thing to do, messing someone around by arranging to make a bet with them which you have no intention of actually placing. By the sound of things it's not the first time you've gone back on your word with Judith either. There's just no need for it.
