    Need to take a vote here guys...

    BDJ asked how he could join in. I said just say you want in. But he did not respond so I did not count him in.

    Attachment 34407



    Now he believes we should be paying him 25 each for the side bet.

    What do you other guys in this think?

    I'm inclined to believe BDJ genuinely thought he was in, and the issue is simply a small English language thing. But I suspect Rickie might be feeling ripped off at this point losing the win when BDJ never confirmed he was in.

    That said, if it was any of the rest of you, who I expect to understand plain English, I would not be paying you.

    LMK what you think and I'll decide what to do later on.

    What the **** is wrong with you?

    I can see you don't understand English perfectly but seriously stop jumping to false conclusions about every little thing!

    Maybe you don't understand what you have done, two weeks in a row, but you have caused a problem YOURSELF both times by not following clear instructions. CONFIRM YOU WANT IN.

    And what is it you don't understand about me asking the other players for consideration of this? How would YOU feel if you thought you had won only to have me change the rules so someone else wins instead??

    Now get the hell back in your box and be nice and give me a chance to sort this out so EVERYONE is happy... like I promised you I would by PM.

    Please BDJ. Try not to jump to conclusions about what I am thinking. I told you exactly what I think by PM. "I know you would not be saying this unless you believed you were in".

    I do not think you are lying or trying to free roll us. But you still did not make it clear to me you were in. Unless the other people involved all agree it's fair to let your win stand I can't be unfair to them.

    Anyway. Lets stop this. I think you should have learned after having the same problem last week that you need to clearly confirm participation so everyone playing can see it in the thread. And I think I should have learned from last week and double checked if you were in or out this week seeing as you did not respond.

    So I hope you agree it's fair that it should cost each of us half. You get 50 points instead of 100 for this week, and I'll pay it.

    Please accept that and let's forget this problem ever happened eh?

    Sorry about that. Hope you agree it's fair though.

    Confirmed you are in for the side bet next week.

    *Edit: Changed my mind and sent you the full 100. I've had a good week with points bets, may as well use it to keep everyone happy.

    Phoenix Results

    And the Big Daddy does it again, moving into 3rd place with his late rush for the prize!

    Onlooker creeps up to within 31 points of the lead with 1 race left.

    Statistically everyone can still win any of the prizes, although CD and Fred will need Looker and me to fail miserably, whilst picking the top 5, to stand a chance at first spot.

    Attachment 34415

    Rickie wins the side bet. Looks like CD has already paid you in post #353. I'll hold onto my 25 to take off your total. (which I have no idea what it is now btw)

    Good Luck next week everyone!

    Rickie Wins, you clearly said to State if he wanted in for the last 2 races, he never responded after that. Congrats Rickie, points sent 2 u.

    Well i see ya'll already solved that, BDJ FYI always confirm your bets, cause i'd swear if you lost this week you'd be crying u never said u was betting, and if i had won i would have given you 0.

    wow, don't log in for a couple days and big drama erupts!

    Opti, I lost my PRO status Martinsville weekend, so I ESPN owe you 25 for Martinsville and 25 for Texas, and you owe me 25 for Phoenix. plus whatever happens at Homestead. I also owe you weekly picks game 22 each for Texas/PHX/Homestead.

    And, seriously, with all you do on this forum, no reason for you to cover the BDJ fiasco so take the 50 I got from CD and LFF and the 25 I would owe BDJ and add that to the total. Can all come out of the weekly picks prize after everything is settled.

    I'll be pro again soon.......

    I had Ragan and Ambrose, both out. So am likely to come last with a low score...

    As it stands at this rain break, Onlooker is going to snatch the victory from me, and BigDaddyJames is making a strong run to knock me down to third too.

    Onlooker comes home with a wet sail to take the win and 400 point prize.

    BigDaddyJames did the same thing to come from nowhere to grab second place and 200 points.

    I choked my way into 3rd and 100 points.

    BigDaddyJames wins the 25s for the side bet.

    Paying BDJ 225 about 5 posts up. Sending 400 by direct transfer to you now Onlooker.

    Hope everyone enjoyed it and thanks for playing.

    I'll send a PM to everyone that played anything this year the week before Daytona.


    And for posterity, here's the final leaderboard for the full season;

    Attachment 34595

    Onlooker came 2,615th overall.

    We should play an over/under on that number next year.
