Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

I was playing a $100 sit n' go series with 3 buddies. $100 buyin 3 games with a point system by place 4,3,2,1. Winner of each game recives $10 from each player from their $100 buyin. Winner at end gets whatever hasn't been put up for bounty.

Player 1 wins game 1
Player 2 wins game 2
Player 3 wins game 3
Player 4 wins the series in a tiebreaker game with players 2 and 3. How much should player 4 recieve?

a. $270 or b. $210 ?

Got into a bit of an argument over this can someone please quickly solve this. It looks as though it could've gone either way and it should have just been a $100+30 game to simplify it. Player 4 lost all 3 $10 bounties but won the $100 game so shouldn't he be winning $90 from each player since he paid $10 in bounties to each? But on the other hand the other 3 players broke even from the bounties with each other, so they should only pay $70 each since $30 seems to be put aside for bounties? Or are we all just retarded and it's not either of those payouts? Theres a couple bets riding on this to save face I won't say which one i'm on [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

*Not really bounties but that's what they were called all night.

Forget this post, after thinking about it's simply logistics. It wasn't specified as $70+30 as a side bounty which would make $210 the right answer. It was specified as $100 winner of each game gets $10 from each so $270 is prolly right answer but just gonna call it break even or each player owes winner $10 more.

As stated above, this was a series of $30 + $70 SnGs. Therefore, with no split in the playoff match, Player 4 gets $210.

You confused yourself, as you already stated, by thinking too much.

Personally, I think it was too heavily weighted towards the points winner, especially given a playoff match, but it's your group

Re: Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

Wait -- are they $30 + $70s or $40s + $60s? Does the winner of each game get $10 from each player, including himself (from his $100 entry)?

If so, then players 1, 2, and 3 should each go home with $40 and player 4 should get the remaining $280.

Or am I missing something?

Re: Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

I agree with sapsuckah!

(I hope "bounty" was the wrong word, or it gets even more confusing. Isn't a bounty usually when you put a price on a player or each player and if you take them out, you win a certain amount? Didn't No. 4 just lose his $10 "buy-in" not his "bounty"?)

You want somebody to solve this quickly? I read this three times, and I still have no clue what you're asking.

God, I hope English isn't your first language.

Where have the standards gone? What an insult to the folks who paid taxes on their hard-earned dollars so that you could have a public education.

Re: Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

Prize pool = $400 ($100 x 4 players)

At end of Game 1, Player 1 receives $40 ($10 x 4 players)

At end of Game 2, Player 2 receives $40 ($10 x 4 players)

At end of Game 3, Player 3 receives $40 ($10 x 4 players)

Total "bounty" payout: $40 x 3 = $120

Payout to points winner: $400 - $120 = $280.

QED

However, if the winner of each game receives only $30 in "bounties" instead of $40 (receives $10 from "each losing player" rather than from "each player"), then the final points winner receives an additional $30 for $310 total.

Re: Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

A tad harsh, perhaps, but the OP was unclear.

And I screwed up- sapsucker was the first to being correct, I believe...

LetsGetItOn- please clarify what the heck you DID do?

Thanks

In a bounty system, the winner gets his own bounty, normally.... what is happening here, I'm not sure of.

Larry, when did your name turn green? I didn't think it was last time I was on the forum (like yesterday or something) but then maybe I'm going senile...

He's got a question, and there are people here who can help. The least he could do is take the time to write it intelligibly. I gave it my best shot, but I couldn't decipher it.

Why waste people's time with gibberish? And what's your contribution to the thread, anyway?

I posted my thoughts earlier. You might want to read through the posts before asking a question that already has an answer. Seems like a waste of people's time not to do so.

BTW, what part couldn't you decipher? I agree that he could have included more detail, which we asked for, but the question was clear.

What, exactly, is your contribution?

Hey, there's something that makes a lot of sense in your posts - that horse's head avatar. All of a sudden, things are clear!

Time to let this go, fromm....

Re: Home game disagreement 4th grade mathematician needed
 

Sorry, Lottery Larry, but it is not quite time to let it go. frommagio, please point out one grammatical mistake in my post.

What is clear from my avatar? That I like horses? That I ride horses? All true.

Again, what have you contributed to this thread? Have you not deciphered the question yet?
