SP - that is where i expected to see them but they don't show up. help me understand what I see posted
for id 921 the odds are still 1 - 1 and no one has made a wager either way

in addition id 922 has others FOR the prediction but none against

neither of these show up (in my bets) so i used up the 19 unused points

thanks for your help!!

921 doesnt exist anymore.

922 has three people betting for and nobody against....

Were these originally predictions that you made?

Yes to both 921 & 922

[Squidpuppet]

[Yes to both 921 & 922

I am not understanding exactly. Did you delete them yourself, or did they vanish on their own?

Either way, they are both gone, (your bets) which is what you wanted, right?

[RatsMC]

This is the second report of bets going missing. I'm investigating but, in the meantime, everyone check your bets.

[RatsMC]

Less that 14 hours until the close of betting.

Basically, at 2 to 1 odds you'll double your money. If you bet $10 and Gustav bets $10 against you, you will walk away with $20.

But if Gustav wins he will will also double his money? it seems strange that the odds for and against would be the same. Or am I missing something really obvious

AAAAAAAAH the just turned on! he also would double his money as there is $20 betted on that ID. Of Coarse!

[RatsMC]

Right. Once the points have been thrown into the pot, they aren't yours anymore. There's 20 points in there and you bet 10. You've now got 20 in your pocket which, it turns out, is exactly double what you bet.

Pick	Spies takes checkered after a tight battle to the finish line	20 points	WINS

It's been a long winter and I KNOW many of us are real rready for the new season. I guess it's time to give in and go get that MotoGP.com sub since there doesn't seem too be any other live alternatives for us here in the states. I'd rather not spend the extra $$s right now but I refuse to watch SPEED other than for AMA and only then because it can't be found on any other feed/torrent.

Good luck to all this season, let the games begin.

[lebowski]

Finally got around to placing my bets! Thanks again for your efforts Rats. Much appreciated.

[MPA]

Is something up w/ 926 (Bautista finishes higher than Dovi)? I only see 1:1 odds, but I bet "against" and a few posts above faster1 had 10 For, and Rats' odds table from yesterday showed 30 original points unchallenged.

Just in case, I bailed on it and took that 50 and put 20 on #99 and 30 on #1
