Re: TV Talk's The LOST Game
The way I worked it is your score is your (total winning - total bets + your total seed money to date).
Technically your score should reflect how much money you have available to spend next week (excluding the upcoming seed money.)

fyi
I just fixed an error in the score calculation. It was excluding the first three bets for everyone. Some scores may have increased. I'm still working out the bugs.

TV Talk's The LOST Game: Week 4
LOST Game — Week Four
You have $100 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. Currently I'm doing about 25% of the mean score between everyone.
Predictions are in this format:
{Number} Prediction (Odds)
{031} A scene takes place in space. (200:1)
{032} A scene is confirmed/shown to take place before the Common Era (BCE). (20:1)
{033} The submarine is shown. (11:1)
{034} Someone is locked up or put into a jail cell, real or makeshift. (8:1)
{035} An episode contains scenes in at least three continents. (9:1)
{036} Kate kisses a man on the mouth. (6:1)
{037} Kate kisses a woman on the mouth. (60:1)
{038} Michael Giacchino's score references "Planet of the Apes" overtly.* (7:1)
{039} At least one of the characters is shown in the beach. (4:1)
{040} A main character drives or rides in any land, air, or sea vehicle that is NOT the blue Dharma van. (5:1)
* This will be up to my discretion, but it's generally the music with drums in the background and it is used when someone is being chased or escaping. It's not used in every episode but it is used a lot.
Off you go! Post your bets here by Wednesday, March 18th at 8:55PM EST.
Please make your bets in this format:
{00X} $AmountBet
OR
{00X} Description $AmountBet
Thanks!

BCE is according to our calendar? Before Christ was born? Years 1 BC and below, right?

{034} Someone is locked up or put into a jail cell, real or makeshift. $100
{036} Kate kisses a man on the mouth. (6:1) $300

Correct. Year "Zero" or before. And no the kisses don't need to be open-mouthed. It just can't be a peck on the cheek.

Damn The Bus, I was really enjoying this season and now with your game I'm more worried about seeing Juliet smile, checking if a gun was fired, etc.
Thanks for the reply.
