WrathOfHan Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Because Grey Ghost has been inactive for nearly three months, the original box office casino has remained dormant. The forum and staff agreed that it's time for a refresh, and I have stepped up to the plate. It works just like the original version (using GG's words): 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!

baumer Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Since Grey Ghost is no longer here, we are going to archive his game. It's one of if not the most popular game in this history of this site, Chas' summer and winter games are up there as well. But this one runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Everyone is going to start fresh. And thanks to Wrathofhan for offering to keep the spirit of GG's game alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I bet 75 points to three people that Halloween opens to more than 75 million. I bet 100 points to one person that Halloween opens to more than 80 million I bet 50 points to 1 person Halloween opens to more than 85 million 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75Live Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) before I jump in on this. basically if I take the bet, it is for the opposite result correct? Like if i take the one for over 85 mil for Halloween, it would have to go under for me to win, right?

75Live Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'll bet 50 points to 3 people that Halloween makes over $10 mil in previews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfHan Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) This is going to take a bit of time re-organizing. Grey Ghost's updates were very scattered, and some bets were left off the ongoing bets or in some weeks but not others. I have homework that needs to be taken care of as well, but I should have this back up and running by tonight. Or would you guys rather forget all the bets left unscored and start fresh while keeping the old scores?

This one has nothing to do with that one. No bets are to be scored for that one. It's a new day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
