Jason, if you are going by my scoring, I've already subtracted your active bets. You should have 1115 + 500 to bet with.

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?

Right as far as I know...Jason should be able to bet up to $1615 this week, and MUST bet at least $500 (this week's new money).

Paid bets last week:

{029} Sayid is shown building/repairing/fixing something. (14:1) $15
{048} At least two characters sit down for a meal or snack. (2:1) $1000


I don't know how 29 was a winner last week. I don't remember him building/fixing/repairing anything, but they had that as a winner, so...I'm rollin' with it.

Previous bets still active:

Spoiler:
{022} Someone is shown underwater (camera/point-of-view is also underwater). (8:1) $35
{026} All scenes in an episode are off the island. (17:1) $13
{028} No new characters (with speaking lines) are shown. We've seen every speaking character in this episode before. (7:1) $75
{031} A scene takes place in space. (200:1) $10

{046} A polar bear or polar bear skeleton is shown.[/b] (5:1) $1000
{047} A Dharma video is shown.[/b] (4:1) $760


2210 from the 48 payoff last week, plus 500 gives me 2710 to spend.

{055} We are shown Jacob's cabin. (13:1) 150
{056} Widmore is revealed to be Faraday's father. (9:1) 35

Nothing like making my life more complicated for no reason :)

Let's try this again:

They had another scene set in the Dominican Republic, where Sayid was working on a house.

The security station was underground since in one shot it's proven: as Kate is talking to Sawyer, somebody walks down the stairs.

{066} Sayid joins the Dharma Initiative. (9:1)
{067} Young Ben is not shown in an episode (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (8:1)
{068} Anywhere during an episode (including flashbacks and "Previously on Lost" but not the previews for the next episode), we are shown Boone, Ana Lucia, Mr. Ecko, Libby, Nikki, Paulo, Rose, or Bernard. (6:1)
{069} During an episode (same parameters as above) we are shown all those characters. (100:1)
{070} Basketball is played or in any way referenced. (15:1)

Is a sub considered watercraft?

pinata242 04-08-09 12:15 PM

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
Does the watercraft have to be wind or motor-powered? What about oars, or can muscles be considered motors?

With something like 20 episodes still to go I feel like this is gettnig out of hand. People are already up to $70k. If other people have a lot of outstanding bets they are from old low money weeks - even if they pay off they won't make up enough ground.

That should use up all of my bank and the seed money for this week.
