Gambling is not allowed at Bushwood, sir...
It has come to my attention (shockingly) that not everyone agrees with the direction of my confidence rankings. Well you had better start developing a mental list of your own because you are going to get a chance to place a wager on the boat you have most confidence in.
The first night in Camp I will be accepting wagers (in whole dollars only, Larry) on the following boats:
Bob/Trent - S.S. Camp Director
Troy/Andy - S.S. Eye to Eye
Bernie/Aaron - S.S. Almost Heaven
Larry/Cody - S.S. Boy Was He Pissed
Theron/Connor - S.S. Teach a kid to fish
Steve/Ryan - S.S. Gin is Toxic
The boat with the most fish pots is the winner. It doesn't matter if you fish with someone else one or two days, the pots you win on those days will be awarded to your original boat listed above.
Any large bets will be investigated throughout the week because I can already hear the wheels turning on some of the Monroe County folk.
You don't have to bet. You might not have enough confidence to bet on anyone. That is fine. Payout will be determined by the total amount bet and the amount bet on the winning boat. For example, if 100 dollars total is bet on all the boats and 40 of those dollars is bet on, oh I don't know, Gin is Toxic, then the payout is 2.50 for every 1 dollar wagered if that boat wins. So if you wagered 10 bucks on this boat (you really should), you would get 25 dollars.
There are only six possible outcomes so I am not going to get into the whole win/place/show. Win only. The Commission (me) will not be deducting any fees for service. All money bet will be paid out.
Might as well keep things interesting...Start your mental list now.

I'll put $5 on Almost Heaven and another $5 on Gin is toxic. I predict a tie. That will then prove that gin is almost heaven
ReplyDeleteI'll put $5 on Teach a Kid to Fish. This may be the only bet on us. I am a little more concerned with the rookie boat captain than I am with the rookie fisherman in this boat.
ReplyDeleteI'll also put $5 on Eye to Eye. Definitely a safer bet. On board will be an experienced boat captain and a young energetic fisherman that will not be hung over and will be dedicated to fishing... not drinking.
All part of my master plan. Rip everybody in their boat spotlights so they are pissed at me and don't bet on our boat. Dad and I will each bet 5 bucks on our boat and split the money 50/50. See you suckers in a couple weeks.
ReplyDelete...and I never slice.
ReplyDeleteI'm in with Fishfinder $5 each way. Gin is in!and Almost Heaven is where you make it!
