    I am thinking about doing the Over/Under game again this year, but with a slight twist.

    Everyone will start out with a certain number of points to spend and each question will have multiple choices for answers and odds on them happening.

    Winners each month and a Grand Prize winner at the end that will receive something nice from the Blazers......Hopefully

    As always, pictures are the preferred way to answer, but not necessary.

    I still need to figure out a way to reduce points for people not playing every game. Any ideas?

    you get, say, ten points for entering, and you can wager any or all of those ten points on whether or not your answer is correct?

    Sorta, but there has to be a penalty for losing all money and or a reward for those that don't if someone else does


    Maybe start with 100 points and limit each bet to a lower number so it will be a running total

    Cool concept! I do like the idea that each participation is a guaranteed 10 points. Right answers will earn an additional 10 and wrong answers lose 5.

    Don't start the game with a bank, except for the 10 given at the start of the game

    How about a correct gets you three points, and a wrong guess gets you one point, and no guess gets you no points?

    I like that one too, Wook.

    How about playing gets you 5, correct gets you another 4, best pic gets you 1, incorrect gets you nothing

    I am gonna go with that
