With all the early sub talk, it was like I flopped an open-ended straight flush draw. And then the board just collapsed... Goodbye everything.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I updated my spreadsheet going with 23, 34, 39, and 40 as winners.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...8aPuDsaVfczHOA

Some people are ending up with negative numbers as score. I think it might be from them betting more than my calculations had them as having available.

And that might be my fault. I've found at least a couple of errors during the past week or so and that might have resulted in my numbers changing. Sorry if that adds to the confusion

Feel free to adjust my current 616 bet down to 606 if that'll help.

Palaver...how are you getting that extra 7 bucks for me? I've calculated, and even last week you were 7 above what I had...?

I found the problem right off the bat. I had your bet amount for {13} as $13 instead of $20. I'll fix it.

There's bound to be errors like this. There's a lot of numbers to keep straight.

Thanks for letting me know.

If anybody else finds discrepancies, let me know.

LOST Game — Week Five

You have $200 to spend between these predictions. You can bet on any number of predictions. Any unused money from this week is lost. As I mentioned before, as the totals start getting up there, I'm going to increase each week's play money. Currently I'm doing about 12.5% of the mean score between everyone.

Predictions are in this format:

{Number} Prediction (Odds)

{041} A scene takes place in the year 2012 or later. (12:1)
{042} Vincent and Walt are reunited. (11:1)
{043} Desmond is shown on the island at any point (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (3:1)
{044} Someone loses a limb. (8:1)
{045} An episode contains scenes set in Korea. (7:1)
{046} A polar bear or polar bear skeleton is shown. (5:1)
{047} A Dharma video is shown. (4:1)
{048} At least two characters sit down for a meal or snack. (2:1)
{049} Sayid dies, or is presumed dead (like Jin on the freighter). (5:1)
{050} Hurley shoots a firearm. (15:1)

Off you go! Post your bets here by Wednesday, March 25th at 8:55PM EST.

Please make your bets in this format:

{00X} $AmountBet
