What does:

You can bet an all box office events up to 2 weeks in advance. For example: 25 points whether Pacific Rim will open over 55 million.

mean?So you can only bet on things that happen up to two weeks from now and not after? Or you can only bet on things happening that are more than two weeks away?

You can only bet on a movie released within the next two weeks. But I've been allowing people to bet on releases beyond that to get players more involved.

grey ghost, will this game be a seasonal or just a one time thing?

 

This game will probably close this September then we'll start it up again in late March of 2014.

 

So annually (March-September), hopefully.

Why not have it all through the year?

[grey ghost]

Why not have it all through the year?

 

 

I figured there wouldn't be enough activity during the slow months.

 

But if there are enough people willing to play through September and October I guess we can keep it going till 2014.

 

I do want to start fresh by March 2014 so everyone has a fair chance to compete for prizes and bet on all the big summer movies. We started late this year.
