Nice game, can we find out the tiles now? It was hard to follow along.

FC GGG
0 3
2 4
8 5
7 2
6 8
5 7
4 6

The key was round 5 when GGG played his 8. If he had played his 6, the entire match would have been tied 4-4

Sorry, this wasn't the most spectator friendly game!

If it were tv, I could show you the underside of the tile like in poker!

My big mistake though was round 3 where I figured youd play big to get one back and I went too high.

I guessed your first 2 rounds but played it safe thinking you would go 2,0.

The bad news is I forgot to bet...The good news is I didn't lose my bet this time.

For this type of game you could create a secret quick topic and just pm it out to the other players. Then you could disclose the tiles.

Good game FC, a lot of luck in this one. If you don't mind me asking what was your rational for going first.

yes that's a good idea, last quick topic didn't have many viewers so i forgot about it :P

i'll find a balance, some death matches will be open like last week, some will be closed like this week and some will be a combination of the two

however today if the viewers knew, they would have known it was over by round 5

I just thought I would start playing the low numbers and then flip to high numbers to sweep ahead. I lost my nerve and flipped too soon though.

Girly, please transfer 7 Gaudreaus from my account to GGG.
The eight that I held onto for him less a standard storage fee of one Gaudreau.

Thanks

Sweet deal!

For the record, if anyone wants to pay me 1 Gaudreau to hold their funds for any length of time, I am ready and willing...

No doubt.

Can I under-cut everyone and do it for half of one?

You guys can all offer but I am the only one with a proven track record of returning the funds after the match. Also, it only works if you are the victor as I assume Girly wouldn't let a person transfer their G's after they have been selected for elimination.

I would be suspicious that Rathji would keep the whole amount and deny the deal. And, can you really trust the lowest bidder? HockeyGuy probably offers such low prices because he doesn't secure the funds. Or he loans them out to other people for wagers.

I am willing to hold the Gaudreaus for a 3 Gaudreau fee. Sure, you can go with some bargain holder, but at Squiggs96's Luxury Gaudreau Holdings, you'll feel better about getting your Gaudreaus back. Anyone can hold them, but I'll hold them expensively. You'll be able to hold it over everyone's heads that you are rich enough that you can afford the luxury. Make your appointment now.
