Removing My Bets Page

I am removing my bets page because making bets isn’t a central enough part of my life to display it so prominantly. This is a copy of the state when I took it down.

I strive to take beliefs seriously. One way of doing this is betting on your beliefs. For that reason, I have taken the bettor’s oath. Below is a record of public bets I’ve made.
