The Challenge

The lighter side... playing for entertainment, less concerned about "the math."

Our most skill-based contest would be the Monthly Contest. Both with regard to strategy and also game selection. I would love to see which of our forum members can score the highest in that one.

Perhaps a dedicated thread... anyone posting in the topic qualifies and I will post standings of all participants at the conclusion. A free month of Gold membership to the participant who scores the highest (but more importantly supreme bragging rights).

Ah, forgot people would have to be Gold. Scratch that idea. How bout everyone plays in the free contests and see if the forum people can beat the non-forum people? :)
So are you going to add a 5th contest category? Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Keno, and Forum Challenge? I would limit the forum challenge to members who have at least 50 (100) posts and have no monetary reward.

A challenge like that would be entertaining, but it wouldn't prove anything. I am ten royals ahead on the daily game and I don't claim to be an expert. All it would show is who is luckier over a period of time. :idea:

I'm ready if we can work out the details.

Even the monthly is still based on luck. This is my 3rd month playing the monthly. No royals for me. Others get multiple royals within the same month (15,000 hands).

Spot on Notes. Luck may be all we can rely on to counteract the pain of our addiction.
BTW help is on the way,scientists have discovered a genetic reason for people who feel no pain.
A mutation in NLRX1 gene that may lead to astounding developments in the treatment of chronic pain.
