darkobetterthanmelo wins WTF Sportsbook Contest #3

[Fool]

Can we bet on if micknugget will catch him or not?

[Glenn]

I always post a bet or two with "x to 1" odds on the last day to keep it interesting (where x=4 or 5, 6, 7, etc).

[WTFchris]

THere you go. As long as you have long odds than people can catch him still.

If I'm smart, I should win this thing.

[micknugget]

If I'm smart, I should win this thing.

I saw that you tried to counter my bets. You got most of them but I might have squeeked in just enough to get by you. Now I just have to worry about one of those 14 to 1 or 8 to 1 Wings/Sharks bets.

Sharks win, I win

Final standings for Contest #3.

Richest People
darkobetterthanmelo has a total of 7834
micknugget has a total of 7000
Moodini31 has a total of 1720
detroitsportscity has a total of 1500

Congrats to darkobetterthammelo, the winner of Contest #3.

DBTM put together an incredible last few days to seal the victory, and he had to hold off a hard-charging micknugget in the process. Props to DBTM for not playing conservative, which would have surely cost him the win.

DBTM's total also sets a new all time record for # of alpacas in a single contest at 7,834.

We'll reset everyone to 500 later today, and we're onto Contest #4.

If you can turn $500 into 7800, you should start betting in real life.

No shit, DBTM was tearing it up the last week or so, I don't think he lost a single bet (at least it seemed that way).

Also, interestingly enough, WTF collectively is now winning at a .498 percentage, which really isn't bad since for the longest time we were hovering around the 42% mark.

I was on a complete roll.
