{080} Charles Widmore is on the island anytime after the initial Oceanic 815 crash. (11:1) $9441

I need to make up some ground. They can't have a war on the island without Widmore being there.

So is this one a winner?

I think I put money on it, but wasn't exactly sure what I committing to. :lol:

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
 
I updated the spreadsheet with {003}, {061}, and {067} being winners. I can go back and add {038} later if needed.

Obviously check for any errors. I hope my mistakes up to this point haven't messed things up too much.

But I think outcastja still has pending bets that can pay huge in the future. That's the way it worked for me.
