Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Here are my results if anybody wants to double check, followed by a simple formula that we can use
Base Money = $78 Paid: $16 {001} A foreign language is spoken. (2:1) $48 {002} A gun or firearm is fired. (3:1) balance = 142 minus active bets {011} A Dharma logo is never shown during the episode. (5:1) - $12 {016} It is shown what caused Ben's bruises/cuts before he got on the plane. (6:1) - $12 142 - 24 (active bets) = 118 available this week -- This formula should work for everybody: where BM = $78 (Base Money), W = Winnings, A = Active Bets: Available money = (BM + W) - A Pinata242 is correct: (78 + 292) - 6 = $364 available this week outcastja should be: (78 + 489) - 22 = $545 available this week Damfino (78 + 64) - 24 = $118 available this week. |

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I knew this was going to be too complicated for me. Let's see..
I had $75 winnings from the first week. $5 - {002} A gun or firearm is fired. (3:1) $2 - {004} A dead character has a scene.* (9:1) $7 - {007} John Locke is referred to by someone as Jeremy Bentham (or Jeremy or Mr. Bentham). (5:1) $10 - {009} At least three of the Oceanic Six make it back to the island. (4:1) Those were my bets, which ones were the one that paid? 009 and what else? For the second week my bets were: {011} A Dharma logo is never shown during the episode. $10 {014} Two or less major characters are shown before the "Lost" title sequence begins. $5 {015} John Locke's off-island "death" is shown to be a ruse. $10 {020} An entire episode passes without Sawyer calling someone by a nickname. $50 At least have $500 with the last one :D, I don't remember about the others... :( So I basically don't have any idea on how to proceed now... :p |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Just follow the examples of tracking your winnings we all have posted. Any of them will work for you.
Bus has given you $78. Add your winnings to that. Subtract the amount you bet that haven't come true yet. |

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Ok... I worked out probably the ugliest looking spreadsheet any of you have ever seen in Google docs. I don't vouch for the accuracy, but it may give some of you a sense on how your doing and how much money you have to play with.
If you get a chance, look at your numbers and let me know if you see any errors. I'm not good at this stuff at all. Alright... I tweaked it a bit.. Your score at this point should show how much money you have to play with this week before counting this week's seed money. The way I figured the score was (total winnings - amount bet + total seed money for first 2 weeks). Everybody got $48 as seed money, except for Bus, Kevinlord, kakihara1, and buzzdalf who only bet one week. Does this make sense? http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?k...8aPuDsaVfczHOA |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
So I've made this pretty simple for myself:
Spoiler:
For this week: {029} Sayid is shown building/repairing/fixing something. (14:1) $558 :> |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I believe I've got a balance of $186.
{022} Someone is shown underwater (camera/point-of-view is also underwater). (8:1) $12 {023} The word "accident" (or "accidentally") is used. (6:1) $15 {026} All scenes in an episode are off the island. (17:1) $10 {028} No new characters (with speaking lines) are shown. We've seen every speaking character in this episode before. (7:1) $13 {029} Sayid is shown building/repairing/fixing something. (14:1) $16 {030} Sayid kills a "named" character (not a red-shirt or new-to-that-episode) character. (20:1) $20 I spent $86, leaving a balance of $100. |

This doesn't look right to me. You're essentially counting some of your base money twice. You're getting some your base money back in your winnings.
W = Previous Winnings BMn = Base Money for Week n ($30 this week) A = Active Bets Updating my post... |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
Are you sure we should be subtracting our active bets? I would think it'd be a simple (Amount Won + This Week's New Money)?

Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
You can bet your winnings, though. You have to keep track of what you have in play.
Maybe we shouldn't have been adding constant money every week :) |
Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
I guess it just seems like there should be 2 "pots" - pot 1 has the unspent winnings + the week's new money, pot 2 has your still active bets (so it would include both "original money" and "winnings" that were bet).
So for example, in my case, week 1 I won nothing, last week I won $372. I still have $10 out in active bets. $30 is the new amount we get this week. So my "pot 1" would have $402. "Pot 2" has the $10 in active bets for now. Say I bet my entire $402 this week, and nothing comes true, plus we get $30 again next week. Before next week's betting, I have $30 in pot 1 (money available to spend), and $412 in pot 2 (still active bets). But I don't really think it's a big deal, so whatever you guys think I'm sure will be fine. :) |
