Resolved
YES

Many moons ago, @JoshuaB challenged me to several matches of online Boggle (on ewordchallenge.net, a site on which he attained a very good rank), and created a market on whether he would win 9 out of 10 games. Due to my own confidence and past word game prowess, I was affronted, and made a market about whether I'd in fact win a majority. Although I escaped total trouncing due to some technical difficulties on his end, he won 8/10, and clearly demonstrated that he was superior in this particular domain.

Anyway, he also made a market about whether he'd win at least 7 out of 10 games against me and a Proofnik teammate of my choice. I have, however, neglected to find a teammate for this match so we can actually play it - partially due to a sense of defeatism regardless of who agrees.

I would like to officially play the match, though, for closure's sake. If any Proofnik would like the experience of losing at Boggle to Josh with me, bet YES and let me know! Especially if you think you're good at word games. My goal is for this market to resolve YES even if I have to do some more active recruiting, but we'll see.

General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.
