So Vivian won some cash or did they break even because nobody got 10 ahead? I gave up and went to bed with Jennifer ahead a few games.
They just went even and have decided to......................................................................................................................................................................................................................talk..........................................more talk...........................................still talking............................:boring2:.......................sorry I nodded off there..................well I'll just report this.
Oh they decide to play on!!!
50 racks today so far and 62 last night, Jeanette currently up 2 overall (last night).
Jerry, I am not sure if at Livestream you can click on a name in the chat itself instead of the list and ban them which eliminates them hitting and running but on Ustream you can. :smile:I have written Livestream for a solution to the vulgar chat problem and have not as yet received a reply. Unfortunately, AZBilliards does not control the video chat room, Livestream does, so we cannot limit who may or may not enter the chat area. Hopefuly, Livestream will give us a solution to this problem. What bewildered me was that some of the obscene chatters did not even show up in my list of visitors that I have the power to ban. Others got in and out so fast that I could not get to their names in time. It really is disgusting that there are those who would ruin the chat room for all of the decent folks who would use it responsibly.
We will continue to pursue a solution to the problem.
Yeah, it's amazing that there are people that go for that sucker bet. It's definitely a goldmine in the long run! Similiar to fading everyone in a dice game.

They broke even. Jeanette was up 2 games after the first day and up 5 at the " 8 hour mark " on the second day. They evidentally agreed to play until Jeanette won or Vivian got to even so they quit when Vivian got 2 games ahead.
so nobody made any money?
Not quite. I won $20 from Roy at 2-1. :grin:
VV made one of the worst gambling decisions I have ever seen. I cannot believe that her backers, who would seem to know odds & money since they own casinos, would go for this.
American or Norwegian money?
watchez -- please read post #41 in this thread. If you think I am wrong, I'd appreciate your saying why. Thanks.
... you are correct that they both had the opportunity to win the same amount of money at that point (6 games) but it was as if Vivian was staking Jeannette with her own money because Jeanette could win all the money (or even some of the money) while Vivian could only at best get even for her play. It reduced Jeanette's risk in the match to zero. That is a good place to be.
I wouldn't view it that way. Jeanette essentially had Vivian's $14,700 in her pocket and offered to play for that amount again via a 6-ahead match, subject to a two-hour limit. It's as if you and I played last month and I won $100. Tonight we agree to play a 6-ahead set for $100. Yes, you could view it as if I'm playing tonight with "your" money, but it's really just another bet for another $100. Jeanette and Vivian both thought they could win some money in that final two-hour session. If Jeanette had won, it would have been a bigger win for the two days combined; if Vivian had won (which she did) it would have been a smaller loss or no loss at all for the two days. But it was a fair bet and Jeanette definitely lost money in those final two hours.
Here is some info on odds: The odds of throwing a 7 in craps is 6/36 or 16.7%. Would you bet me if I said that I will throw a 7, 1 in every 5 throws?
No, I would not take that bet. The probability of rolling at least one "7" in 5 rolls of two 6-sided dice is .598, or essentially 60%. I'd have a 40% chance of winning; you'd have a 60% chance....
I wouldn't even take the bet it if you said 4 rolls instead of 5; you'd have a 52% chance to win that bet.
I don't really understand how they matched up in the first place. Two ahead sets but limit the number of hours the ahead set could last and then it was simply over?? That is not really an ahead set.
It was to be pro-rated at the end of each 8-hour session if no one got to 10 ahead. So if one player was up by 2 after 8 hours of play, she was to win two tenths of the full session bet. That also is fair. And that's what happened the first day. In view of Jeanette's back problems and the fact that the match was being streamed, I think an 8-hour session is plenty long for everyone.
vivian and jeanette should play a set of "mum pool." First one to blabber on and look for attention loses! I'm laying 10-1 that they both tank in the first rack...
See comments in purple above.
Well I think your money figures are low as I have been told that there was quite a bit more bet on the match by both sides.

That could be real dangerous. I do think there is a possibility that the outcome was pre-determined for whatever reason.i couldn't quote it because you quoted it different. it sounds like they both dumped their stake horses.......chop chop

There was someone in Chat who alludded to the fact that such information was leaked.
Just remember reading it,
NOT saying there was any truth to it.Please don't bash me.
If we see the rematch on ESPN, I guess we will know.![]()
