Box Office Casino (please read announcement on page 366....we are archiving this one

[grey ghost]

This is a little different than fmpro's bet thread. It's more like the box office derby.

Here are the rules:

Everyone starts with 750 points.

You can bet other casino players in multiples of 25 points with the maximum bet of 100 points.

You can bet an all box office events up to one month in advance. For example: 25 points whether Pacific Rim will open over 55 million.

Be careful or you'll end up broke in a matter of days.

 

No accepting opening weekend bets after 7 pm on Thursday unless the bet is offered over the weekend.

If you fall under 400 points your account will be refreshed back to 400 points every Tuesday.

Who's in? You'll be awarded 750 points and can start betting on upcoming box office events immediately.

All players will be ranked on a chart based on total points.

 

JOIN ANYTIME!

I will leave this here for the first 2/3 weeks, but after that it will get moved to the Games forum, ok?

Interesting concept for sure. Could have been bigger at the start of the Summer.

 

Also, it would be more exciting to play for actual prizes.

I think people should have a choice on which to play. I want to take part in this but I can't bet real money... or anything that's actual real.

No, it doesn't, that is why this will be here for the next 2/3 weeks. To gain popularity. After that, people will follow the game on the Box office Games Forum.

People could cheat (multiple accounts) if the prizes were worthwhile.

 

But I'm not completely opposed to the idea of prizes.

I'm happy just to be allowed to continue the Casino at BOT but I'm just curious, why can't it stay here?

[mcneil039]

I'm betting on over.

Doesn't take an genius to realize it's not going over...

I meant the host could give out prizes for obtaining a certain amount of points(ala BSG top 3).

What's the point in making only ultra safe bets?

[CaptainJackSparrow]

100 points that Pacific Rim will top Lone Rangers final gross. Any takers?

[mahnamahna]

I'm in for the game! And opening weekend or total? I'm guessing total lol, so I'd agree to that!
