Bet Your Booty
This Gauntlet will test how lucky you can be and if you can read your opponent.
Each competitor will be given 100 doubloons.
The Gauntlet will last 9 rounds. In each round you will bet a certain number of doubloons by mailing me how many of your 100 doubloons you wish to bet.
Whoever bets the most number of doubloons in a round earns a point. First person to 5 points wins.
However, there is a trick to this Gauntlet. If you win a round, you will get half of the doubloons you bet back and those doubloons will be eligible to be used in future rounds. But, if you lose a round then you will get ALL the doubloons you bet in that round and they will be eligible to use in future rounds. So if you lose a round you will not lose any coins but will have an advantage in having more coins for later rounds. If you win a round, you get 1 step closer to winning the Gauntlet but have less coins to use to earn that victory.
