I'll bet everything on Axl (Dexter) visits MYGNRFORUM and answers questions @ 90/1

You can't bet everything on one answer.   The maximum wager is 25 points.  

There is a minimum of four bets and a maximum of 20 bets if you are not a Club Member.

For Club Members, there is a minimum of six bets and a maximum of 30 bets.

As you are the first to enter, we'll allow you to hide/remove your entry and do it again.

It's worth noting that there's some strategy when it comes to entering the contest.  If you want the best odds, enter as soon as possible.  But it might be worthwhile to wait and see what the band has in store to get a better feel for the year.  Some thought should be given to not only what you think will happen but when you should submit your bets. 

Good luck everyone!

Didn't feel like waiting :P

By the way, I assume when it says "The original AFD lineup (Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, Steven) play one song together" it means (it could be) them plus Dizzy and Melissa, right? 'Cause I don't see them leaving the stage, especially Dizzy.

Yes...  If it were only the original AFD lineup, it would have specified.  

Thanks for asking as I'm sure others might wonder.

The thought of keeping track of all of this makes my head spin! I would totally understand if it just becomes too much.

I don't think it should be too difficult.  We'll keep a close eye on what goes down and I'm sure people who submitted their wagers will notify if something happens.

Is there a deadline to enter?

No.  Contest open all year, but only wagers made before a scenario/event happens will reap the odds as they're currently set.  New players can still bet on a scenario or event even if it occurs, but they will not get any points for previous occurrences and odds for subsequent occurrences will be likely be dramatically lower.

I just had to chuck 25 on all because I just don't think anything will happen (outside those four). I'd almost have been tempted to put all 100 on ''None of the above happens'' if the rules allowed it haha - but I suppose a Seb Bach guest spot on My Michelle is neither here nor there.

PS

There should have been a ''play the exact same setlist for the next four years'' option. 1000 points on that one.

As this is the first day of the contest we'll allow people to revise.  But by Thursday, January 19th, we will not accept any post that are edited.

Please read the rules before submitting your wagers.  

Does that mean we all can revise up until thursday if we want to?
