Adam in China Fantasy Betting Pool

You are invited to participate in the Adam in China Fantasy Betting Pool.

I am going to Hong Kong from March 30th-April 16th. Set bets on things that may or may not happen while I am there!

1. You have 100 points to bet. The minimum bet is 10 points per prediction. The maximum bet is 50.

2. All bets must add up to 100 points. All bets totaling more or less than 100 points will be disqualified. You can bet anywhere from 10-50 points on any amount of bets as long as your points total add up to 100.

3. Please place bets in this format.
10pts Adam buys a camera 2:1
20pts Adam spots Chinese hipsters 2:1
45pts Adam gets drunk at a Chinese bar 5:1
25pts Adam gets sick at some point on the trip 3:1

In this example, the user has spent 100 points on 4 bets. You do not have to put points in every bet, just the ones you like. So if one of those things come true, your payout would be "X" points bet times the bet odds. In the case of "Adam buys a camera", the odds are 2:1, so the payout for a 10 point bet would be 10x2= 20 points. If this still sounds confusing, just ask me to explain it to you more clearly.

4. Please send all submissions to augraphics@gmail.com. The best way to track my progress is to follow me on twitter (twitter.com/otheradam) as I will be posting progress as it happens. When I get back from the trip, I will tally up all the points and see who wins.

5. The person with the most points at the end will win an original Polaroid taken on the trip plus a copy of a photobook with photos from trip. The person with the second highest point total will win an original Polaroid.

6. This pool is only open to people who know Adam, no strangers please. All entries must be received by 6pm on Sunday 3/29/09. In the case of a tie, a random drawing will be held to determine the winner.
