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.

Well, I've been watching and lurking and this seems as good a place to
put my virgin post as any... Someone tell me if I'm doing this wrong
now won't you?

Yes, 60SD
She wants to believe in him, and needs to show she trusts him as much
to help herself have faith again as to help him recover. And because

Yes, 30SD
She's an important part of Willow's history and with things moving
forward for our favourite witch a link to the bad nasty that's behind
her.
> OLD BETS
> -=-=-=-=-=-=-
> >2. Dawn's vision of Joyce (in 7x07) was The First Evil.
> >YES 1.5
> >NO 3.0
No, 30SD
No real reason, I just think that's what they want us to think.
> >3. Buffy's visions of Joyce (in 7x10) are The First Evil.
> >YES 3.0
> >NO 1.5
Yes, 20SD
I'm pretty sure she and Dawn are seeing different things and if Dawn
saw one then buffy saw the opposite.
> >4. The apocalypses on 'Buffy' and 'Angel' are related.
> >YES 4.0
> >NO 1.3
No, 40SD
Much as I hate localised apocalypses, and the rumour mill suggests
there's crossovers ahead, the two series have seperated too much now I
think to have related metaplots.
> >5. Principal Wood is under the influence of The First Evil.
> >YES 1.5
> >NO 3.0
No, 100SD
Yay, Big Spender. I'm almost certain Woods is under no one's influence
but his own.
> >6. Principal Wood represents some organisation/power with their own agenda.
> >YES 1.5
> >NO 3.0
No, 60SD
See above. He's his own man.
> >7. Andrew is going to get killed this season.
> NEW ODDS:
> YES 3.0
> NO 1.5
No, 30SD
Mostly just wishful thinking, while I don't really love the character
the way some do, I'd rather see him forced to properly face and live
with his actions rather than just killed off.
> >8. Xander and Anya will get back together.
> >YES 1.3
> >NO 4.0
Yes, 40SD
Someone has to. Happy endings are needed to make the sad ones more
poignant.
> >9. Principal Wood is on a mission that will turn out to be about Dawn.
> >YES 4.0
> >NO 1.3
No, 80SD
If it were Dawny he'd have done more by now... if he's on a mission to
do with a Scoobie it has to be someone he's had less opportunity for
contact with.
> >10. By resurrecting Buffy in 'Bargaining' (6x01), the Scoobies created the opportunity for The First Evil to destroy the Slayer line forever.
> >YES 1.3
> >NO 4.0
Yes, 50SD
Wasn't this as good as said by someone? Not that I suppose you can
trust things people say, but I'm sure that's why the First doesn't
want her dead... once she's dead it loses it's chance...

100 YES - my guess he's some kind of unofficial watcher type and while Dawns
not going to be a slayer she's still vitally important for the furture (aka
spin off)

With respect this isn't decided yet. They can touch him but that doesn't
make him alive. Until we know how he survived the axe it's still open to
question.
But until it is decided I'll abide by your decision. If we find out
later that he is dead - I'll expect my money back k? :)
So for now I'm down 100sd

NO - 100sd
This is kind of a tactical bet. The only reason I'm going NO is because
YES seems too obvious.
>13. Amy will appear in future S7 episodes.
>YES 1.3
>NO 4.0

YES - 100sd
So 600 - 100 - 100 - 100 = 300sd left

Surly that bet should be re-opened with new odds?
