Last year, I made a bet with Ogre as to how many people would submit valid entries. With only 16 valid entries, my prediction of 14 was the closest. Found here.

Many of the entrants have been inactive during the final hurdle, or have a notorious history of being shamed. Therefore, this year I predict the turnout will reach a historic low of fifteen. Anybody wanna chime in? You get bragging rights, and the chance to prove me wrong.

Ok, I bet 100 points that 23 people will turn in a valid entry this time around.

Deal. Whichever one of us is closer to the final tally wins. If it's a tie, we each get nothing. 
 

Which reminds me: I owe fresh 75 points from our thunderdome matchup

dude I think its really funny it's us 2 who are doing this betting because we both have the highest duel counts(not counting chanbot since Ford used that for programming practice) on the site. So we both like to bet alot of points on duels.

Yeah I'd have the 1,000 point trophy already if I wasn't a degenerate gambler.

lol I love this. I'm not at your level yet but I'm getting there with 1307 wins and 1262 losses

Wait so what's your bet. Is it 14?

My bet is 15 entries. Yours is 23?

yes. what can I say, I believe in people

Give it a few years. There's a reason why Sherb had to heavily bribe us during the summer contest.

oh yeah true. We were at 11 total qualifying entrants so if any 2 of us dropped we would have lost the incentive. I think many people thought I would definetly drop and if just one more person failed alongside me everyone would have missed out on the incentive

Betting pool: 100 points. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST.

benholman44: 15

RKrallonor: 23

Optimistic that you think we'll even get in the double digits.

Lol I wasn't even paying attention about not replying to the post.

 

If I had the ability to bypass the exit lock, that wouldn't have been a thing.

Oh well, hopefully I'll earn it with this contest.

To be fair every prompt contest of yours ended in double digits. I'm not so disappointed in my fellow CYStians that I expect under ten
