Here are everyone's official bets. Good luck to all 23 contestants!

Not sure if that last one was intended as an entry into the contest. If not, just let me know Ratty and I'll take it off future updates.

$1000 Xerxes to elite 8

Thanks for the vote of confidence, CS. I almost made the elite 8 once before. Now, who was it that beat me? Wink

Here's a look at how everyone's bets are doing so far. The "Expected Value" shows what your original $1000 of bets is worth, based on the tournament results up to this point. It goes up when anyone you bet on wins, or if a weaker future opponent wins. It obviously goes down in the opposite cases. "Banked" shows bets that have already paid off. "Possible" is how much you earn if you win all your bets that haven't already lost.

Correction: In the official bets listed above, Rocky's should be 100, 50, 150, 150, 50, 50, 100, 150, 200. The payouts have been adjusted accordingly.

Xerxes, You have so much merit for your effort and knowledge to make this more entertaining !!

A small information about "possible", without counting incompatibilities.

For example in my case, the maximum that could be achieved would be if hingalls beats SpaceManSpiff in final. This, eliminates my other bets. In all my possible would be 31950 metabuquis. And so each one.

Posts: 482 Gender:	Re: 2012 Odds Sheet Reply #34 - Mar 5^th, 2012, 1:01pm That's true Blas, anyone who has bets that cannot simultaneously win will have a maximum possible less than what is listed. However, currently it is too much work to sort this all out. When we get further into the tournament and their aren't as many bets still on the table then I'll include it in the updates.

Xerxes Senior Member I Love Metaforge! Posts: 482 Gender:	Re: 2012 Odds Sheet Reply #36 - Mar 11^th, 2012, 1:06pm Updated Best Better Standings: Many players' portfolios have risen in value due to hingalls and sauce's success. McLovin picked them just to the Sweet 16, so he's already cashed in. What happens in the next rounds will reveal if this was a smart move or not.

Best Better Standings, after 50 results. Hingalls loss to VENOM today hurt a lot of players' porfolios. Xerxes win today has driven up the value of CountedSorrows' $1000 bet, but it's all or nothing on the next round. He will be hard to beat if I can manage to defeat tecato.

Also, the last column has now been corrected to reflect the true maximum each player cculd earn if his bets work out in the best way possible.
