I forgot and also wanted to make it rain. HG interests in selling some clues to recoup the investment

[Hockeyguy15]

I hope everyone isn't waiting for me to bet. The clues weren't overly helpful.

Edit: I will sell info for the low price of 2 Gaudreau's if I like you, and 2 Gaudreau's if I don't like you. PM me now before this sale price is gone for good!

[GGG]

Please Give 2 gaudreaus to HG and remember HG that I have exclusivity for the clue I bought.

It's quiet in here.

Did the race start? I'm still in line for my mint julep.

[HalifaxDrunk]

I may just be missing something, where do I see the odds for this round? Or are the horses moves we already see somehow tied to the odds?

10) The more bets on a horse the lower the odds. We will post the current odds at the beginning of each round.

There were no odds to start the round since there were no bets.

The outcome of the race has already been decided, we are just watching it play out and trying to see who wins.

[HalifaxDrunk]

Thats what I thought it's just this part that threw me off.

"We will post the current odds at the beginning of each round."

It made me think it was like real horse races, there are initial odds before any bets are placed and then and they fluctuate as the bets are laid.

[Hockeyguy15]

Well let's give it a go.

Bet 1 on H2
Bet 1 on H3
Bet 1 on H6

I can't pay out 0 bets lol
Each bet reduces the odds it using the formula:

100 * nchips^-1.152

1 chip = 100
2 chips = 45
3 chips = 28.2

and so on...

The odds at the beginning of the round will just be a guide, you will see it next round.
You will get paid out according to the odds at the end of round 12.

so for example if Horse 9 wins and there are 30 chips on that square after round 12, everyone gets paid out "number of your chips * 1.98". Doesn't matter when you bet.

[Hockeyguy15]

Remove all my bets please.

[HalifaxDrunk]

Can bets be returned? I assume you "bought a ticket" and that was it?

[GirlySports]

yes, you can remove or change all bets before the deadline. However, once the round ends, any bets on the table are locked.
