We shauld start a pool on when googles PR/IBL updates happen for giggles.

everyone chip in a buck each time and the winner gets it all. Please realize that if you post a date in here it *is* counted as an entry. Only post one date.

I would have to say another is due to start around: the 27th of this month.

Damn, I never win pools, but count me in for a buck. I say Saturday the 24th.

I am not a winner in pools either, but I"ll say on the 30th of this month.

I'm going with the 5th of next month.

Please keep in mind that I am counting these and will only allow winners to be people who have been posting here for a little while or that all of us know. Dont think you are going to jump on here with yer first post and win. This keeps everything fair and makes sure we know who to flame if they dont ante up after

Also we can not have multiple winners, so make sure your answer has not already been posted.

I'll go for April 29th, my sons birthday. Big 3

My site better come back by then to dammit.

Hi WilliamC,

How many post do you have to have?

$4.00 right now is more then my site pulls in so lets rock!

I'm not sure if I want to bet with Will. I think he dates Google Guy.

Are you saying WilliamC is gay

Ahhh...no
I was alluding to the fact that Will seems to know Google updating very well.

Oh ok,

I knew I was just playing.

lol

It is quite suspicious that he wants to bet his money on such a thing.

I think I'll wait for the next pool ;)

Robski: bah chicken. It's all in good fun.

Janeth, not many posts per se, just so that one timers dont pop in and post a date with no intention of paying up if they lose.

I'm feeling better now.

I'm going with 5th May (reckon they will be delayed by dupe filter related issues) - starting to get the ssshhaakess aaagaainn!

Mike

You can not have the 5th I have it and I'm not splitting my money with anyone.

But if you do not tell anyone I will pick another day and you can have the 5th and we can split the money.

Pick a different day. Janeth beat you to the 5th.

I'm normally really big on attention to detail!

I'll go with the sixth then because it is an even number and I would like to get even!

I've looked-through too many server-logs lately - that's my problem!

Kind regards

Mike

If everyone misses does that money go towards next month.

Who detemines when the update starts the 5th here may be the 6th there.

I'm going by Will's local time...I'll be in Orlando then and will turn-up at his offices to collect my doh!



Mike

Yeh, I would say most have based it on EST (US), so lets go with that. I am open to suggestions on how to handle no winners.

1) should we just start fresh next time.

or

2) should we make it so the cash carries over?

Majority rules.

I'd make the cash carry over, maybe it'll add up to something...

I'll go with that. If the update does to me what I think it will I will probably need the money!



Been looking at some stuff from Wednesday - can't believe I missed it! I really value Fathom's opinions (though the forum he moderates for is a big mindless advert - they don't deserve him).

Mike

Yes I say let the cash role over.

put me down for the 3rd. and i guess we go by when pr changes at all, even if it fluctuates?

Not to be too technical about this, but we are going by EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time), not EST (Eastern Standard Time). That one hour could allow 2 people to win if one claimed EST and one EDT.

Now there. It has been said.

We could also have a problem where it was reported in one forum at one time and another forum at another time.

So do we just go by when it was reported in this forum?

or we could go by the "earliest" report.

EDT is fine by me. And I would say the earliest "correct" report on any forum.

AHHHH!
Just like a bunch of SEO's. Everyone arguing, tuning, optimizing and tweaking this thing to death. Were talking $1.00 here folks. Lighten up.

Bunch a tweakers.
