Rolling Stone decade list game
Welcome the decadal Rolling Stone best of the decade wagering game. First, the rules.
Listed below are 20 prop bets concerning the assumed upcoming end-of-decade list by Rolling Stone. Of course, if they don’t do one, this will be a colossal waste of time. But anyway, each player has 100 chips to start out. You can wager either five or 10 chips on any of the below propositions. So you can bet five on each one, or you can bet 10 on 10, or any combination between. Any over/under bet is an even odds wager, with a push resulting in the bettor getting their chips back. Other winning bets involving odds will pay out appropriately. If you’re unfamiliar with gambling terminology, please Google it.
Final bets will be taken until Dec. 15 (site time), or the day before the date of release of the list if it comes out sooner than that. Please put a number in front of your wager corresponding with the number of the proposition below. When and if the list is released, I'll tally the results and see who the big winners and losers are. Thanks, and enjoy.

Re: Rolling Stone decade list game

6. PlasticRam +20
7. acroamor 0
7. Frank Lotion 0
9. mileswide -5
10. Rocky Raccoon -25
10. VanillaFire1000 -25
Single biggest winning bet was Nassim putting 10 chips on Light Up Gold to win 60.
Conclusion: I should stick to making odds and not betting on them.
