Makes for a much more interesting contest (I think) Maybe I'm a math professor checking on the students :mj07: I do know this.....if I have 2000 in my offshore and I bet 200 I have a balance of 1800. If I'm only allowed to bet 10% of what's in my account it leaves me with a $180 wager :thinking: Just the way the contest has been set up from the beginning and the way it's been explained on the first page each week.
