Ada's KILLER Game - In Play

Update 8th September 00:20

Paul
W1 B1
Gloucester 8 - 6 Leicester...............Bet Wins.
W1 B2
NY Yankees 2 - 5 SEA Mariners..........Bet Loses*** (Stewards Enquiry)

***Re: W1 B2
Your bet post quoted the game on 07/09/08 (is that UK or US time).
The game I have quoted above is the 21:10 GMT game start time on 07/09/08.
The problem is......
These teams also played at GMT start time of 03:10 on 07/09/08.
US local time meant this game actually started on the evening of 06/09/08 as far as they (US) were concerned.
Both teams won a game each. :splapme

Now........do I take the first game that played at UK time on 07/09 (your bet wins) or the second game (your bet loses)?

Personally, I think I should take the first game that was played.

Answers on a post(card) please.

DECISION
Having spoken to Paul, he says he was unaware of the second game & posted his bet quoting 07/09/08 as the game start date based on the B365 "book closing time" of 03:10 on 7th September.
Taking this to be true, the following result applies to Paul's W1 B2 bet:

W1 B2
NY Yankees 7 - 4 SEA Mariners..........Bet Wins

WEEK 2 has now begun............same rules apply.

REMEMBER: If you get to the end of week 2 with at least 1 life intact you will receive a bonus life.

I will post some stats for WEEK 1 once the Baseball bet issue has been resolved.

I was going to ask you if you thought Murray had a shot tonight...there's my answer! :D

I think he has a shot but Fed has looked good in his last few games. I think the Federer game is one too far for Murray at the moment. Nadal was playing well when Murray beat him and Murray was won his last matches against Federer but Federer will be better rested and in a more composed mental state than Murray so I expect Fed to take this in 4 sets.

The Official MLB site has the first game taking part on 06/09/2008. Bet365 shows todays game (actually 03:05 tomorrow morning) as a Monday game (i.e. takes place on 08/09/08 for betting purposes). As the bet clearly states 7th September, it can only be the second game.

(But I'm happy to go with any ruling you make) :)

Scooby,

Are you sure you don't want to wait for the outcome of your first bet this week before placing a second one? (See table in first post of this thread)

If both your bets lose........that's it.....you're out of the game.
If you can get to the end of this week with at least 1 life intact you will receive a bonus life.
Please bear in mind that your Jokers can't be used once your lives are gone.
Maybe it would be worth playing a Joker if the England-Croatia draw fails to happen.

Just a suggestion.

Ada.

ANNOUNCEMENT

HOLIDAYS

I believe at least a couple of players will be taking a break or are on their hols fairly soon.

For Breaks/Holidays of up to 2 weeks.....
If those concerned can either post or PM me of your intended absence from the game before you 'disappear' on your well earned breaks, I'll explain how I'll allow you to post "Catch Up" bets on your return, rather than have to use up Jokers/Lives while you are away.

Ada..
