  After flipping a coin which unintentionally bounced off my chair, I'm going to have to say up because it landed on heads, and to space myself out from Elenin, I'll say up 350.  

  Who can sleep with such interesting bedtime stories?  And what might future ones be?  Poisonous clouds, flouride, vaccines, chip implants, Skull & Bones??

                 How the Winner’s

 

                       FINAL SCORE

 

                     is Determined:

 

 

 

                         Think of the scoring in this game

 

                               as you would playing darts

 

                                      on a dart board…

 

                                        same principle.

 

 

 

                    

 

 

 

 

For example…

 

   If you are the WINNER…THEN…

 

        the closer the actual FINAL on Friday is

 

                  to the exact MIDDLE of your numbers

 

                                    (the BULLSEYE)

 

                                         

 

                                    the BETTER your score.

                  100,000 is awarded to any player who predicts

 

                             the actual market close on Friday

 

                within plus/minus 5 of MIDPOINT

 

                               of the player’s chosen numbers.

 

 

 

                  50,000 is awarded to any player who 

                 predicts the actual market close on Friday

 

       within plus/minus 6-20 of MIDPOINT

 

                               of the player’s chosen numbers.

 

 

 

               25,000 is awarded to any player who 

              predicts the actual market close on Friday

 

     within plus/minus 21-25 of MIDPOINT

 

                       of the player’s chosen numbers.

 

 

 

             10,000 is awarded to any player who predicts

 

                             the actual market close on Friday

 

                 OUTSIDE of the player’s chosen numbers…

 

              but is still CLOSEST to the correct FINAL result.


 


 

                                     And finally…

 

               5,000 is awarded to all other players


                                who correctly predict

 

                     the DIRECTION (UP/DOWN)


          (Please Note:  Grand Prize Winner is NOT eligible

                                     for the 5,000 prize)

                                                   Wink

                                         That would be double-dipping!

[COMMENT DELETED BY BERNIE MADOFF]

Syd_Arthur

I think you need a catchphrase, kboyer309, like, "may the odds be ever in your favor", or someting like that.

Anyway, I'm going to predict now, because all the good numbers are getting taken, so...

Down 130.

kboyer309

Syd...that's a good idea.Laughing

We'll just change it slightly to...

"...may the odds be forever

              in your inside-trader favor".

ConnorMacleod_151

May the odds be forever
