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?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
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:
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
{057} A scene takes place in or a direct reference is made to "The Tempest" Dharma station. (8:1) 25

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

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
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.
[//rant off]
{062} There is a scene on a boat, ship, or similar wind-powered or motor-powered watercraft. (5:1) $500
{063} It is revealed that Jack's dad is Jacob. (15:1) $1,000
{065} The island flashes again (not counting a previous scene where the island flashes). (7:1) $500
{067} Young Ben is not shown in an episode (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (8:1) $500
{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) $500
{069} During an episode (same parameters as above) we are shown all those characters. (100:1) $96
{070} Basketball is played or in any way referenced. (15:1) $500
That should use up all of my bank and the seed money for this week.

I agree we should stop the game and declare a winner.
