Posting imminent! Make your bets!

Since y'all are full of schadenfreude and encouraged me to post the Bleach story to the Pit of Voles in the previous post, I am about to do so. And in celebration of that, there's now a virtual betting pool going. All currency is in the form of internet dollars (currently trading at 1 internet dollar for .7 internet euro), so your winnings are worth exactly what you invested.



I made a more-or-less arbitrary table of odds. You have one hundred (100) internet dollars to distribute amongst any or all of the statements as you please (do so in the comments). Statements are not meant to be exact, merely general examples. However, if anyone (who is NOT one of you, you cheaters!) posts a comment with the exact capitalization, punctuation, and spelling of one of the statements below, the payout is 100 to 1.

The time range is from when I post the story today to next Sunday sometime. We're not counting the number of times a comment appears, just if one of that type appears at all. All conflicts and questions resolved in favor of the silliest or stupidest solution.

Feel free to make side bets with anyone!

Odds
Comment
1) 5:1 "Why is this in the Bleach section?" (Maybe with "Shouldn't it be in Ghost Hunters?" added)
2) 1:1 "omg rite more plz!!!!!"
3) 3:1 "u should mark the pairing"
4) 2:1 "omg rite more!!! plz pair byakuya n kenpachi" (or other pairing)
5) 4:1 "i dun get it"
6) 8:1 "u plagerized dis"
7) 10:1 Someone posts the story elsewhere, either under their own name, or with my name removed and something like "All credit belongs to the original author."
8) 10:1 Someone writes a story using the same conceit.
9) 3:1 "u use big words."
10) 3:1 "Yumichika's a guy, you dumbass."
11) 2:1 Someone bitches about my formatting
12) 50:1 I get actual, thoughtful, and extensive critique. NOT FROM ONE OF YOU.

Pocketing 5 internet dollars, eh? Clever!

I guess you're guaranteed to come out at least 5 internet dollars ahead that way! XD
