I'd bet everything that no eternal supernatural being/s have ever existed.
That would seem unwise. In order to prove that any claimants to immortality are false, you would have to outlive each one, leaving you as the last surviving mortal. At that point, from whom would you collect your winnings?
I would bet my life's earnings that there is no deity intervening in human affairs, no after-life, no creation or intelligent design, and that no human has an inkling about what, if anything, it all means.
There are plenty of Gods, many of which I know little about. That's not called being disingenuous but agnostic.

Both of you. Need I point out the Obvious?
I'll pretend you are dumb. You are not, but for the sake of discussion, here we go: 98% of posters here are from North America. When one speaks of God which is it? Zeus? Thor? Vishnu, Kali? Anyone , Anyone???
You "Play dumb" and say I don't know. That little atheist quote "which god" is beyond old and stupid. It just demonstrates sarcasm. We all know what is being discussed. God, the one of the Bible.
Be reasonable and honest and understand the culture in which you live...duh! God, the one who is mentioned in the Bible.
Either you are really stupid or are being disingenuous playing a game-pretending to be innocently ignorant).
There is in fact many definitions of the word god. I was simply asking the OP to be more specific. If you want to make it more than that knock yourself out.
Simply scroll down to the thread "prove my god doesn't exist" to realize not everyone is always talking about your definition of god.
I truly truly am at a point that "He" has revealed so much to me...opening
The Doors of Perception in my little pea brain, expanding my awareness to such
a transcendent place beyond anything I would have 'made up'...that, of course, I would place all my chips on whatever it was you said.
Many theists think they have already proven god. Such a wager is subject to someone demanding they collect it just because they quoted a proof-text or spouted a pet non-sequitur.
Besides, there's an implicit wager on the table that ought to be enough. If I were convinced of the existence of a personal god, I'd join that religion and presumably they would benefit from my donations.
