Re: Food Club [Split 2]

I'm not happy about 10-betting Goo, but I'm doing it, because I'm not sure which of the others to safety on, and knowing my luck, if I picked one, it'd be the wrong one.

System suggested going even heavier on the Ned/Buck switch out, but I wanted to cover a little bit more in terms of safeties for Scurvy.

Goo x (Ned, Buck)
Goo x Bonnie x (Ned, Buck)
Goo x (Peg, Tail) x Scurvy
(All in SW) x Goo x Bonnie x Scurvy

Could pull out the Orvinn and Black SW ones, and replace with Stripe x Goo x Bonnie x (Ned, Buck) or Stripe x Goo x (Ned, Buck), which, if Ned or Buck wins have a chance of netting a lot higher pays, but that's up to you. :)

I decided to place some bets today and ended up with a slightly different set:

Goo x (Ned, Buck, Scurvy)
Goo x Scurvy x (all in SW; Bonnie, Tail, Peg)

18:10 on the Goo x Buck.

Wish I'd gone with the second alternate I listed, of Stripe x Goo x Buck. That would've given me an extra 36! Ah well, a win is still a win!

ETA: Playing a bit more risky today. Any double-upsets, and I bust. (Or if I covered a single upset incorrectly.) Here's hoping!

Luck x Goo x Tail
Fair x Goo x Capn
Buck x Fair x Bonnie x Tail
(Peg, Scurvy, Ned) x Fair x Goo x Tail
Buck x Fair x Goo x (All in HC) x Tail


ETA: Woot! 80:10!! Playing a bit risky paid off today!

Congrats, P! I did not get my bets in on time. Ah well.. next time :)

Bummer, Blue! I was hoping you'd get to share in that. If I'd actually have followed fully, I'd've had an additional 64:10...but, I didn't, so I didn't. Ah well. Still not complaining about the 80:10!

Today is a currently a special day (check the odds on Bonnie to make sure they're 10 or greater before betting - it's currently 11):
(Ed, Ned, Bonnie)
Goo x (Capn, Stripe, Black)
Goo x Scurvy x (All in HH)

My set:
(Puff, Orvinn) x Goo x Scurvy
Peg x (Bonnie, Ed) x Scurvy
Peg x Goo x (Stripe, Black)
Peg x Goo x Scurvy x (all in HH)


ETA: 12:10 on the Orvinn safety. Would've gotten a 20:10 if you went with the "special" set!


ETA2:

Fast bets today, barely had time to look at them:

Ned x (Puff, Bonnie)
Young x Puff
(All in SW) x Young x Bonnie
Fair x Young x (Tail, Orvinn, Scurvy) x Bonnie

ETA: Well, I wish I'd gone with my minor hunch and 10-bet Orvinn (but I didn't have time to really think that through), but I'm still glad I managed to cover the double upset with Ned and Puff! Yeah for 24:10!

Meh. Today looks pretty bleh. There's not enough bets to do a lot with multiple boosters, unless you're willing to sacrifice safeties.

Bonnie x (Ned, Buck)
Goo x Ned
Goo x (All in Lagoon; Tail, Scurvy, Ed) x Buck

You could replace the Bonnie x Ned and the Tail, Scurvy, and Ed bets with Goo x (All in Lagoon) x Black x Buck for a less diverse but more booster-ful set.

ETA: 26:10 on the Goo x Ned safety. Glad I pulled that one up!


ETA2:
Today's set:
Ned x Buck x Goo
Fran x Orvinn x Goo
Fran x Buck x (Bonnie, Black, Stripe)
Fran x Buck x (All in HC) x Goo
Peg x Fran x Buck x Goo

I'd recommend dropping the bet with Peg, and putting in a Fran x Scurvy x Goo as a safety. The Peg one is pretty out there; I included it because it's pretty high on the list and I figured if it hits, it'd be worth a laugh.


ETA: Aaaaand double upset of Young and Bonnie busted me. Ah well.

Yeah, totally didn't have time to bet yesterday, since we were out almost all day. Today's bets I'm going to have to slip in last minute when the gates reopen, as I just missed the time frame. They feel odd, but, who knows?

(Stuff, Capn) x Goo
Luck x (Stuff, Capn) x Goo
(All in TI) x Ed x Goo
Luck x Ed x Young
Ed x Young

ETA: 12:10 yesterday.

Here's my bets for today. Fran look super strong, but he's way over on wins, and Stuff's under...so I'm putting in a couple Stuff safeties. Hunches, and all.

Stuff x (Goo, Scurvy)
Fran x Goo x (Ed, Young)
Fran x Scurvy x (Buck, Ed)
Fran x (All in L) x Goo x Buck

Could substitute the Stuff safeties with Fran x Tail x Goo x Ed and Fran x Tail x Scurvy x Buck.

Also, I botched my bets, and ended up with a Fran x Stripe x Scurvy x Buck, instead of Fran x Scurvy x Buck when I forgot to uncheck an arena...sigh.

ETA: Busted yesterday on account of the double 13's upset. Yeah, never would've seen THAT one coming!

Today's bets (mostly followed straight, cause I'm tired):

Ed x (All in HC) x Luck
Ed x Fair
Fran x Ed x (Goo, Ned) x Luck
Fran x (Ned, Puff) x Luck
Squire x Ed x Goo x Luck

Had a few minutes for bets today. A relatively safe set (though still a nearly 40% chance of busting):

P(24:10-80:10) = 61%

Bets:
Luck x (Buck, Tail) x Scurvy
Luck x (Buck, Tail) x Goo x (all in HH)

Sorry I haven't been posting, I've hardly had time to get my own bets in if even that. I've busted a lot lately, too, so probably no loss.

However, for those that have time to sneak them in, today has a set that can't lose:

(Squire, Stripe, Capn)
Goo x (Ned, Stuff, Young)
Goo x Buck x (All in HH)
