Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game

wow! All of them are really hard to predict, even for future episodes. There isn't a single one that I can say it's going to be true in the future.

Good job Bus!

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game

Let me be one of the voices shouting praise onto Palaver for his spreadsheet efforts. And hats off to Bus, too, of course. (Palaver, I don't know where you came up with the $200 dollars...I only have $104,000. Closest I can figure is you attributed my {57} as a {67}, maybe. Don't know how to come up with $200, otherwise.)

Paid Bets:

{067} Young Ben is not shown in an episode (including flashbacks, not including "Previously on Lost"). (8:1) $13,000 = $104,000

$104,000 + $10,000 = $114,000

I really wanted to bet on Obama, but his speech just started, so I don't think that's terribly fair. I have to bet on something other than Raul's if I want to catch up, and none of these seem to be paying out tonight. Only Faraday, MAYBE, since it's his-centric episode. Hopefully Richard has his own episode someday.

Bets This Week:

{082} We are shown Charlie (at any age) playing a musical instrument (singing doesn't count). (6:1) $1,000
{084} We are shown Richard Alpert off the island.(4:1) $6,000
{085} We are told why Richard Alpert doesn't age (even if it turns out to be a lie later). (7:1) $17,000
{089} We are told that Charles Widmore is Faraday's father. (3:1) $90,000

Previous bets still active:

Spoiler:

{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
{044} Someone loses a limb. (8:1) $2,000
{046} A polar bear or polar bear skeleton is shown. (5:1) $1,000

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

{070} Basketball is played or in any way referenced. (15:1) $250
{071} During an episode, (aside from what the title of the episode is) no reference to "Star Wars" is made. (3:1) $5,000
{074} There is a closeup on an eye.(7:1) $1,000
{075} The island moves again (doesn't count showing the previous movement). (7:1) $5,000

{080} Charles Widmore is on the island anytime after the initial Oceanic 815 crash. (11:1) $2,000

In my opinion, there wasn't a Trek reference. The LOST title at the beginning transitioned into a Trek promo (for the upcoming film). That really shouldn't count.

Thanks for the praise. As far as the $200 difference goes, I'm not too sure. It looks like you and I were off by 200 last week as well. So at least it's consistent.

For full disclosure, I know that these numbers aren't 100% accurate. I've made mistakes that were corrected after some people made bets. Therefore, some people may have bet with money they didn't have. I think the errors are minor at this point, and a 200 point error is not too bad, all things considered.

IRT {028}: Who was the new speaking character tonight? I was looking for them...Charlotte child spoke before.

I think the Trek reference is a stretch, but like I said, if we're going that far, it should have been in space, as well.

IRT {028}: Who was the new speaking character tonight? I was looking for them...Charlotte child spoke before.

I think the Trek reference is a stretch, but like I said, if we're going that far, it should have been in space, as well.
Well, there was that girl who was in Faraday's place when Widmore paid him a visit-- when Faraday was watching video of the "wreckage." And Faraday's girlfriend.

I think the Trek reference is beyond a stretch. The show didn't reference Star Trek: The title sequence was manipulated to sync with a Trek promo.

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game

The spaceship flew through the "O" in Lost. It wasn't just a synch.

And there were speaking lines from nurses.
