We're going to open up another feature of Rabbit Hunt for Rabbit Hunt II, Betting!!!

To start, this is going to be a simple, straight up betting pool. No odds, nothing fancy.

Bets are 10 geos a piece.
Bet as many times as you like, on as many Hunters as you like.
Betting opens as soon as the Game Start Time is announced. (Will post here, and on the Rabbit Hunt II thread)
Betting closes when the Rabbit is killed.
Hunters may bet on themselves.

Winnings:
House takes 10%
All winning bets split the other 90% of the take

Wesleys is the Bookie for the Rabbit Hunt Betting Pool.
When betting opens, bets will be made through his account.



There will be 2 pools for this round: Hunter Pool and Rabbit Pool.
The hunter pool is betting on who will win the round.
The rabbit pool is betting on how long the rabbit will last.

Details can be found below, a separate post for each pool. Stats for each pool will be updated there as well.

I've gotten this question asked a couple of times via PM, so I'll answer it here:

ANYONE can bet on the round. You do NOT have to be a hunter to bet on Rabbit Hunt!

Bet on who will win this round of Rabbit Hunt!
Each bet is 10 geos. Bet as many times as you like.

To bet, deposit 10 geos in Wesleys bank account, with the following note:
"Hunter Pool: [hunterNameToWin]"

You must then send a PM to Wesleys, RomulusJ and WaywardTraveller listing the transaction.
You will receive a confirmation response from Wesleys for your bet.

ONE bet per PM Please.

Bets will be kept up to date below.

Bet on how long the rabbit will survive in this round of Rabbit Hunt!
Each bet is 10 geos. Bet as many times as you like.

To bet, deposit 10 geos in Wesleys bank account, with the following note:
"Rabbit Pool: [#]"

Where '#' is the waypoint you think the rabbit will die on.
For example, if you think the rabbit will be killed at the 4th homebase it stops at, use this note: "Rabbit Pool: 4"

You can pick ANY whole number greater than 0.
All numbers with bets will be listed in the stats below.

You must then send a PM to Wesleys, RomulusJ and WaywardTraveller listing the transaction.
You will receive a confirmation response from Wesleys for your bet.

ONE bet per PM Please.

Bets will be kept up to date below.

*Note: For reference, and to be fair, waypoints could be anywhere from 1 - 6 hours apart. There will be ~12 waypoints on the route. And of course, if he survives, the rabbit repeats the course.

This round of Rabbit Hunt officially starts at 5:00AM GMT.
(12:00 midnight EST)

Betting for this round is officially open!
Bets will be taken up until 5 minutes before the round ends.
IE: All bets in 5 minutes before the rabbit is killed count.
(Nope, not going to let you bet on yourself just as you're going for the kill ;)

Again, betting is open to ALL GeWar players, not just Rabbit Hunt participants!

Get your bets in!

Open to everyone, not just hunters!

Don't miss this opportunity to have some fun and make some geos!!!

Look at how much fun can be had betting on rabbits!!! If these people can have so much fun, so can you!!!

Really looks that way:

01:23:02 - February 11th, 2006 10.00 Geos were deposited into the wesleys account by Mr_Fuzzypaws.
Notes: Hunter Pool: hurcoll ... to wesleys

Okay I see the bet was made prior to the kill and as I see by the betting board only one other bet was made 20x.9=18. Congrats to Mr_FuzzyPaws.

8 Geos ain't bad for half an hour. Not as much as I get from other sources but hurcoll seemed really bent on getting that waskally wabbit.

BTW RomJ I saw your post about not being able to find the next waypoint. Learn the key combo to get it selected really fast.

- Click the drop down.
- Hit the first letter.
- Hit the down arrow so many times.
- Hit [Enter]
- [Tab]
- [Enter]

All set.

I'm pretty convinced I was looking for scarts not scrats, thus making me stuck on scalp. Here I thought I was a reformed dyslexic. :sad :rock

RomJ it's not your fault it's the computers don't let it get to you man. All you have to do is this to your computer and it will fix it. ;rocket

Here I thought I was a reformed dyslexic.

I feel your pain. It was a good show though. Keep it up. :bang

I have paid the winnings of both pools out to Mr FuzzyPaws, 30 geos. Congrats.

I won't be running betting pools on games again due to some pretty serious lack of interest :(
