As a trustworthy citizen of Sleuthville I will take up Badass' suggestion to offer some odds with our pretend Sleuth Cash. But only on the eventual winner. I won't have time to do round by round.

* You can have until midnight on the 10th to PM me with your overall winner, and wire me your money. (Because I don't think anyone will finish round one in two days and most of you will be in Shangri La by now and can't see the Notice Board)
* Subbed players only, as you will have to wire me your money from one of the banks, and only subs can do that... I think.
* 1 bet per player per entrant, ie Badass you can only bet on Sindy once. But you can bet on as many of them as you like. So please feel free to bet $20,000 on each participant. ;)
*If I've forgotten anything let me know. I think the odds are pretty good.

Odds are as stated and won't change.

Minimum bet = $200
Maximum Bet = $20,000

Sal Iva - 3/2 (sorry Sal, you've just been jinxed as my frontrunner)
Kathryn Gumshoe the 7th - 2/1
Bonanza Jellybean - 4/1
Bela Talbot III - 4/1
Sultry De Mon - 7/1
Verali - 10/1
Sleuth Sindy - 13/1
Keira Ann- 15/1
Yeti Face - 19/1
DevilishWings - 23/1
Professor Troof - 30/1
Mortimer Maze - 40/1
shaunkhan - 50/1
Lovelylone - 50/1
Breitkat - 100/1
M. Lacrimosa - 200/1

Odds are NOT indicative of player ability (eesh Breit is GOOD money)... well except for Marc, he's definitely the Three-legged Tom of the field :D

I suppose it would be easier to win bets in pony races if you could run as a pony yourself.

Haha, Two-Legged shell would definitely be bringing up the rear in any race she would be entered in.

One Legged Shell would definitely kick some ass :)

What's this *WOULD* stuff, BadAss?? :-.

The hypothetical form, Breits.

Uh huh. ;-)

Results are in.

1. DevilishWings [4] vs. Sultry De Mon [3] vs. Yeti Face 3-1= [2]
2. Bonanza Jellybean 4-1= [3] vs. Mortimer Maze [4]
3. Verali 3-1= [2] vs. Bela Talbot III 3-1= [2]
4. Sal Iva 4-1= [3] vs. Keira Ann [4] vs. Kathryn Gumshoe the 7th 4-1= [3]

Thank you Bonanza for knocking out the last real outside runner, Mortimer, making all my pretty money seem all so secure!! Surprised to see BT3 make it back alive. Commiserations to Keira Ann who ran a good race and suffered at the hands of a particularly agreeable set of Caironese shopkeepers it seems.

Next Round sadly has a lot of my favourites in the one bucket, however I'm still banking on a nice short odds favourite to come home and assure the bookies of a major payday!

1. 3/2 Sal Iva vs. 2/1 Kathryn Gumshoe the 7th vs. 10/1 Verali vs. 4/1 Bela Talbot III
2. 19/1 Yeti Face vs. 4/1 Bonanza Jellybean

Squirrel Out.

Well, I get kicked out towards the end of the tourney; you've got your timing a bit off there. And now the Cairo townies are going to be mad - they've got an image to keep up!

Jun-20-2016 08:49

Thanks Squirrel! I think my day's worth of repeat clues in Shanghai was worse than Cairo this hunt!

How many people placed bets on me, Squirrel? Seeing as how I currently have the longest odds.
