Simba, I assume you paid 300 e-dollars for your 3 bets. Payoff now is at 18,000 e-dollars. Equal to full-tuition at Confidential College.

I always knew Simba was rich. I wish I had that kind of e-money.

berurah · April 17, 2005, 11:52pm

Hey y’all!

This is getting SO interesting! Leave it to y’all to bring even more suspense to this already suspenseful time! Honestly, what would I do without all of you?

I wish you could ALL have seen my son’s face when I told him about this thread. Speaking of priceless! He has these really twinkly deep brown eyes that were just a’twinklin’ away at the very thought of this betting pool!

I have to brag on him a bit here (like I haven’t before??!! lol:))~In the interest of fair play, he is refusing to read the thread until the decision has been made. He says he would not want to give anyone an unfair advantage by his knowing the schools/days/times of those in the betting pool. I thought that was pretty upstanding of him!

The only hint I will give is that there was some small waffling today…still waiting to see if major quakes erupt!

So go on and place those bets (Simba? Care to place a FOURTH one?? lol). Someone’s gotta win eventually! Keep those e-dollars flowin’!!

love to you all, ~berurah

I want to thank you for your clear and concise explanation of the odds! I could just see you in one of those cute outfits they wore in “The Sting” helping to set up the whole operation! ~b.

NJres · April 18, 2005, 12:30am

Why are we betting? Isn’t it obvious he will be attending JHU? Maybe won’t announce the decision until 11:59 pm April 30, 2005. :)

Ack!!! I just scanned the list (I swear I didn’t look at it before) and I see that andi has same prediction as me!!!
