You BET 2014 - The Game.

[jez101]

Move along people, there's nothing to see here.

Um, yes Greenlantern101 - I forgot 'to pay' my stake.

And yes. Nico is the man!

 

[soccerman17]

101 on Bottas because I don't see any other way I can win this thing

 

[Mephistopheles]

I will put £64.55 on Jenson Button to win please...100/1

 

[Fenderman]

Whole wedge on Hamilton to take home the prime bacon please Greenlantern101

 

[Kamui-FastestChefInTheWorld]

All the money on Hamilton please

 

[jez101]

So as it stands, a Hamilton victory and Fenderman takes home the bacon, eggs, sausages, hash browns, toast (with marmite) as well as the kitchen sink, presumably to wash up in.

tonyw151 will also be dining out, but it will be a bacon & egg McMuffin in comparison.

 

[Fenderman]

Crikey! I hadn't been paying adequate attention to the table jez101 This is going to add to the tension in my house this weekend!

 

[Greenlantern101]

So with betting complete, as it stands, if:

• Lewis wins - Fenderman is YouBet Champion.
• Rosberg wins - jez101 is YouBet Champion.
• Jenson wins - Mephistopheles is YouBet Champion.
• Bottas wins - soccerman17 is YouBet Champion.
• Esteban wins - RasputinLives is YouBet Champion.
• Anyone else wins - tonyw151 is YouBet Champion.

Fenderman YOU ARE WORLD CHAMPION. WORLD CHAMPION.
Thank you boys, thank you.

Here are the awards for the F1 YouBet championship.

• CHAMPION - Fenderman well done chap big risk at the end pays off. Pun intended.
• Pipped to the post trophy - tonyw151 hard luck chap, leading most of the year. Without a doubt the man to ask when it comes to placing a safe bet.
• Taking the Bronze rufus_mcdufus pefect tactical betting and coming from behind to take a podium. Very nice.
• Risk taker trophy- Mephistopheles £100 on the first race. Bit mad, but we love you for it.
• All in Trophy - Puhoon the first to risk it all.
• Crashed and burned - Puhoon the first to exit the game. You bust son.

Just a big thank you to everyone for playing the game and helping me improve my spread sheet skills. Hope you all enjoyed it. I promise to have less cock ups next year when we will be back.

TTFN.

p.s formula-e Youbet is still open to all.

Rad Booton, Rooters Correspondent: "Well done Fender's. How do you feel?"
Fender's: "Wow. Um, er, uh ... I still don't believe it."
Rad: "Why is that then?"
Fender's; "Because it's unbeleebable."
Rad: "Okay ... but did you have any doubts that you would take the championship?"
Fender's: "Doubts? Stone me ... I thought I had no hope in Hades!"
Rad: "Well, do you think you would have done anything differently?"
Fender's: "Yes! Were I a gambler in real life I would have been down the betting shop and putting down real money!"
Rad: "So what now?"
Fenders:"Well, I'd just like to say thank you to the series organiser Greenlantern101 and a big thanks to my parents for making me; my teachers for teaching me; my brothers, sister, cousins, aunties and uncles; all my friends on Clip; and my multi-polar personalities inhabiting my head for being there....

..... and of course extra special thanks and congratulations to Lewis Hamilton who, in reality, made my victory possible!!!!!

Thanks everybody!"

 

[jez101]

...looks like you took home the sherry, the gin and the whisky too!

 

[Kamui-FastestChefInTheWorld]

Thanks Greenlantern101 for the season, was good fun Also good to know that even if I'm not old enough to bet, if I were able to, I'd make a decent profit for myself

I didn't get my Rule 6 notification on this!
And jez101

Would something like this be of interest to those who have been playing this?

There are also these add-ons which are related:

Brogan - I think it looks like it'd improve the game, Greenlantern101 is the man to ask, question is if it gives him more options or control.

I know I'd be loathe to ditch a spreadsheet though!

 

[Brogan]

I don't know that much about it, I would recommend reading up on it for anyone who is interested.

The developer did have this to say.

You create an event (like a race) and then outcomes (drive 1 wins) with payout odds of 2 to 1 for that outcome and can limit x amount of wagers on it with a minumum wager of x amount of $$ and a max amount of $$. You can change the payout odds when it gets closer to the event (doesn't effect the odds for people that already placed a wager on that outcome). You can have as many outcomes as you want for an event.

 

[Greenlantern101]

I think it would be worth whilst if there was more players, but as it is there is only about 20 players of F1 youbet and even less for Formula E game it's not worth the money and time learning a new system in my opinion.

I am happy to stick with the spreadsheet for now. Thanks anyway Brogan teabagyokel

 

[Brogan]

It wouldn't cost anything as I already own the add-on.

No worries though.

Did we ever do how much the Bookies would've won/lost over the season?
