You’re on a nice little mini run guy.

THX see if I get this OKC OV. I really think this is a game till the end. You have a run or two in you and Sammy too. Going to be a game of attrition. Fun stuff. GL.

@theriver55 & @samsncharge99 I think we should revisit this rule below. I think pushes should be void & we all get another chance to reach 50 “results”.

12. A push is effectively a loss. Greatest number of wins takes the prize.

too late IMO.

Well no one has had a push yet, let’s see what Sammy says ?

 

[theriver55]

in retrospect we could have made Pushed 1/2 point. But since the game has started I think we should leave as is. But majority rules. If Sammy and you want to say a push results in another play all good.

sounds good.

 

[samsncharge99]

id say it counts as a play. You made the pick. It pushed. Still counts

ok so a push stays effectively a loss. 2-1 ruling.

 

[theriver55]

I wish we made the contest about 60 plays but since we have started no dice. IN general don't favor changing rules in the game flow unless it's a really bad guideline.

 

[JDS]

Very well then.

 

[theriver55]

Very well then.

if we run future contests we can revisit JDS.

Logically, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me because the winner is based on most wins not the best winning percentage, which a push wouldn’t hurt the contestant in a sense.

but based on wins so a push does hurt as you don't get a W.

Then I have a new strategy now, will not bet on whole numbers because why would I ? This was a rule that I overlooked that’s why I’m bringing it up now.

true good point but how many times does it land exactly on the number especially in a total. If I was in your boots I would not let that affect me too much. See your concern though. Like I said down the line we can revisit. Maybe make a push 1/2 point.

We each get 50 picks. If you make a pick and its a tie. Did you make a pick? Or did you not make a pick?

You watched the whole game with action or no action? You had action. It pushed.
