I'll be keeping my bank this week.

{051} A scene takes place underground or in a cave. (3:1)
{052} A child dies or is kidnapped. (5:1)
{053} Aaron is shown on the island at any point (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (7:1) $100

{059} Someone gets a nosebleed. (5:1) $100
{060} Hurley is shown shirtless. (15:1)

I am concerned with 52/58 and 53/54. There seems to be overlap. If 53 is correct, then that means 54 happened as well. Why is there a need for the other? I'd say 53 and 58 would be the valid bets.

Superman07 04-01-09 04:06 PM
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
We need a definition of "dead". Can he be "dead" and come back to life, or does that just mean he was never "dead"?

Not letting $60k get away that easy!!

pinata242 04-01-09 04:07 PM
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I actually considered that. To me, resurrection implies "died" and therefore the bet would be lost. So I'm riding everything on that the island doesn't resurrect people already there as I have no memory of that happening. Healing, preventing deaths, and resurrecting dead people that come to the island, sure.

Palaver 04-01-09 04:11 PM
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I would agree. Much like Locke was considered dead, but later resurrected.

As opposed to Charlie in the first season, who was kinda dead but was resuscitated by Jack.

The Bus 04-01-09 04:23 PM
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
Here's how the bets play out:

If it turns out that Young Ben truly died and is dead, then {052} (A child dies) does not come true because Young Ben already died. Unless they take him to a clinic while he's alive and dying and then he dies.

There's overlap in {053} and {054} (Aaron shown) because one assumes Aaron is shown on the actual island. That has higher odds.

Jason, I'm not sure I understand why you're not betting? You should have $1615 to bet on the new predictions for this week. I don't think you need to subtract your active bets.

At least I hope we don't. That's not the way I have been playing. I thought your active bets carried over each week automatically without any penalty. Can someone confirm if this is true?
