A online sportsbook stopped taking bets on TAR because one team had been getting an unusually high amount of bets, possibly spoiling the winner (but not confirmed). To doubly make sure no one who doesn't want to know doesn't read it accidentally, I'm going to put it in binary code in my folder...you can google up a binary code translator real easy if you want to.

Well,that is certainly interesting. I would not have guessed that team.

Wilson, I have to laugh because when I saw the binary code come up in your folder in New Msgs, I looked at the whole thing and wondered, "What's he trying to tell us? The winner of TAR?" And sure enough! Very clever.

I'll get DH to translate it for me. I don't speak or read binary and am feeling too lazy to look it up.

Translated and much to my chagrin it was NOT my fav team and not who I would have expected to do well.
Darn it! I hope they are wrong. *crosses fingers*

Just a little warning - I've just seen a link to a webpage that says bookies have had to suspend betting on AR because of an unusual number of bets on one particular team, and they believe there has been a leak and the winning team has been revealed.

This likely means there'll be a lot of articles about the possible winners, so if you're like me and really really don't want to see any spoilers you might have to be really careful which articles you read from now on!

And please if you do find out, don't post anything about it in the threads here (except of course the spoiler thread)!

Above moved here because even such a warning isn't really a good idea in the General Discussion thread.

At tvtattle.com today there is a link to a possible spoiler of who wins this season. Apparently there was a leak and a bunch of bets were coming in to Sportsbook for one particular couple. I won't spoil but go check it out if you want.

I'm tempted but I'm not going to look. The sad/frustrating thing is that if the leak is this big and this early, it will be next to impossible to avoid hearing about it, no matter how careful we are.

So ... a curiousity question that probably won't tell me anything.

Without revealing the winners, are you happy with the predicted result?

Spoiler from Sportsbook.com

I know this is the spoiler thread, but I can't bring myself to post the actual spoiler unless someone asks for it.

Jimmer, for me, it's too early to tell.

Jimmer - at this early I'd say there is a reason, that would be obvious to those who have peeked, to be happy about it - but to early to say if I like the team or not!

Hope that doesn't give it away

I was pleased. Not overjoyed, because it is early, but so far so good. This is a spoiler thread so I am not sure why we are not saying it.

*****Spoiler in the title means stay away if you don't want to read spoiling information.*****

Oh goody, I picked this team at the very beginning as one of my favorites. If it turns out to be true, I will be happy.

I had a lot more typed but I was afraid that people would be able to figure it out by what I had typed. It would be a lot easier if people that didn't want to know, just didn't read the spoilers.

I say speak freely this is a spoiler thread if they truly didn't want to know they shouldn't look here!!!

Do I need to be the one to break it out in the open ;)
