    Maybe someone could explain
    I hope and pray you are wrong. And I'm pretty close to certain the 68 I sent you is exactly right.

    How did you come up with 97? Might be easier to explain than how i came to 68.

    OIC, you are wondering why you didn't get half of posted payout instead of 32.26%

    Reason is that there was more bet on USA than Europe meaning a component of payback is incorporated in that split.

    In basic terms the total amount bet on Europe was 32.26% of the total winning wagers made.

    With more bet on usa that is irrevelent
    That only dictates the odds for the payout

    If you bet a dead heat in a horse race you should get half of your stake on the odds

    It doesnt matter for this time but helps for future pools

    I understand what you are saying, and that is exactly how it would work if it was a normal pool. But this one limited max liability to equality on all bets.

    The idea was with so little time and so few bettors to prevent the possibility of 1 person betting very few points on an option getting a ridiculous payout.

    I aplogize again for the confusion. And I hate to say this, but I am really tired of thinking about this and really am confident I have it right, so I hope you guys can just 'trust me' it is correct by the rules this time.
