{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)
{054} Aaron is shown at any point (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (3:1)
{055} We are shown Jacob's cabin. (13:1)
{056} Widmore is revealed to be Farraday's father. (9:1)
{057} A scene takes place in or a direct reference is made to "The Tempest" Dharma station. (8:1)
{058} Young Ben is revealed to not have died at all and only suffered an injury from the gunshot. (6:1)
{059} Someone gets a nosebleed. (5:1)

I'll be keeping my bank this week.

{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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Current Bets:
$1115 winnings + $500 seed money - $1806 active bets = $0 to bet. Bummer.
Here's hoping we see a training film on the submarine featuring hurley shooting a polar bear in outer space

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
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?
