Well you didn't say that :p Anyway I'm sure I could find out his proper address with a little snooping around. Or just stake out the relevant PO Box and still beat the crap out of him :D
I'd probably leave a note for him saying that I'd give some before and then some after. Then we'd haggle. (Or I'd stay outside my door for a few weeks and wait till he comes and catch him and make him tell me.)
By the 5th time it was happening, I'd have started betting small amounts of money and am already smugly better off than I was. However, on principle, I don't believe in gamblinglarge amounts, and as I wouldn't bet more than $100 tops on the race, I'd be very unlikely to get returns greater than $10,000. It wouldn't be worth it.
This may be the explanation for your Nick the Great:
A rather similar thing has taken place sometimes in stock markets, about stock exchange movements (up or down) - only they're carried out through anonymous e-mails, not spam mail. If this is the case, you may have been the victim of a similar swindle, so don't pay, because the result they'll give you has exactly the same odds of becoming true as if you guessed it yourself.
There's yet another explanation of that phenomenon, but it's too weird as it involves people trapped in time travel :D
