{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.

Question about the Black Rock bet. Does it count if we see the painting that Widmore bought in the background?

{061} and {067} came true. Young Ben wasn't in this episode, and we saw Miles as a child.

So is this one a winner?

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

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.

Yeah. Quitting probably wasn't the best move. I'll just go ahead and remove your name from the list.

I was kidding when I said that.

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

I can't even think of one decent suggestion to PM him. If no one else can, can you imagine how hard it is to come up with 10 on your own?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game

LOST Game — Week Nine

You have $10,000 to spend between these predictions. You can bet on any number of predictions. Any unused money from this week is lost. As I mentioned before, as the totals start getting up there, I'm going to increase each week's play money. Unless noted, "Previously on Lost" never counts towards a prediction.

Predictions are in this format:

{Number} Prediction (Odds)

{081} During an episode a reference to "Star Trek" is made. (5:1)
{082} We are shown Charlie (at any age) playing a musical instrument (singing doesn't count). (6:1)
{083} We are shown anyone playing a musical instrument (singing doesn't count). (2:1)
{084} We are shown Richard Alpert off the island.(4:1)
{085} We are told why Richard Alpert doesn't age (even if it turns out to be a lie later). (7:1)
{086} The shark with the Dharma logo is shown. (10:1)
{087} Jin and Sun are reunited (11:1)
{088} We are told who Faraday's father is and it is NOT Charles Whidmore. (3:1)
{089} We are told that Charles Whidmore is Faraday's father. (3:1)
{090} President Obama, in his speech on 4/29/2009, makes a direct reference to Lost. (15:1)

Off you go! Post your bets here by Wednesday, April 29th at 8:55PM EST.

Please make your bets in this format:

{00X} $AmountBet

OR

{00X} Description $AmountBet

Thanks!
