OK, finally the results on some bets are in!
For rules, old and new bets and general blather, see below.
RESULTS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
>1. Giles is dead.
>YES 3.0
>NO 1.5
NO.
If you bet on NO, you get back 1.5 times the amount you bet (including
your stake). If you bet on YES, the money is lost forever.
>11. There will be more "filler" (non-arc) episodes this season.
>YES 2.0
>NO 2.0
YES.
This episode is filler. The A-plot is about Willow's relationship with
Kennedy and the fall-out from Tara's death. Which isn't closely related
to the S7 arc.
NEW BETS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
12. Buffy will decide to have Spike's chip removed.
YES 1.5
NO 3.0
13. Amy will appear in future S7 episodes.
YES 1.3
NO 4.0
RULES
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Each player starts out with 1000 Sunnydollars (SD). These can then be
bet on any of the wagers offered, by posting a response on either
alt.buffy.europe or uk.media.tv.buffy-v-slayer. Each player must be able
to cover each bet (if you already have bet all your money, you'll have
to wait until some of your wagers are decided before you can put money
on another bet). Keep track of your own money, I can't be bothered to.
Betting is suspended from Sunday before each new episode until further
notice, and bets can be closed at any time. I decide the outcome of each
bet (which may include cancelling the bet, giving each players their
stakes back, if the outcome is inconclusive). Odds are given in decimal
fashion; e.g. 5.3 means that if you bet 10 SD, you'll get 53 SD
(including your stake back) if you win.
You're encouraged to explain your bet, but please stay away from things
that may be spoilers to those up-to-date on US-transmitted episodes
(e.g. upcoming episode titles, cast info and info from shooting
scripts). Don't even hint at such knowledge, because that may be a
metaspoiler itself.
