Humbugardy: Double Up!
2005-09-16 10:53
by Score Bard

We won't call it a "Daily Double", because it isn't really daily. But it's time to double up (or more!), if you can.

Here's how it works:

  • The category is "Literary Baseball for 500".
  • Everybody who is on the board is eligible to bet any amount they have, or up to 500 points, whichever is greater.
  • Place your bets in the comments below. I will close betting at 11pm PT tonight. If you don't bet, I'll assume your bet is zero.
  • Shaun P will choose the time and day that I will post the answer. It can be any time of his choice, Saturday through Monday, subject to negotiation if I have a schedule conflict.
  • At the exact time Shaun P chooses, I will post the answer, with comments closed. You then have ten minutes to email me your question, at scorebard AT yahoo Dot com.
  • The first correct email I receive will win double their bet. Any subsequent correct emails will win their exact bet. Otherwise, you lose your exact bet.

This is not my best category - but I do get to pick the day and time . . . I'll say 200 to (hopefully) keep pace with Bob.

As for date and time: Ken, does Sunday (the 18th), 9:30 PM Eastern, 6:30 PM Pacific work for you?

One last thing: does whoever gets it right first pick next?

Tough category. And I thought I was so literate. But there's no fun in not betting, so I'll wager 37 whatevers.

Sunday, 6:30pm PT, works fine.

Yes, whoever gets it right first picks next. If no one gets it right, you'll get to pick again.

If those of you who already made your bets would like to change that bet after learning the post time, I'll let you do that--just this once.

Put down for 300, Alex! And call me Turd Ferguson.
