This is a pool on local uploads. Number of vids on the server, not sucked off it. And DOkool didn't get his guess dropped for some magic reason.

Ofcourse, it's 1AM server time, and at most US post-secondary institutions the weekend started 3 to 7 hours ago. We're not really expecting coherence here.

In the past two weeks there have been a couple days with <25 videos, I still give the house even odds to win...

I *didn't* get my guess dropped. That means the 4th is still mine =)

You must not be very familiar with gambling (stay this way, you'll save money). There is only one claim on 3-05, namely mine. However, since I'm sponsoring the pool, it's also correct to say that this date is being held by "the house". If "the house" wins, no matter what the game of chance is, everybody else playing loses. Since there's no financial stake for anyone in this pool, it doesn't really matter to the players, but the result is the same. I save myself the expense of buying donuts and rushing back to the post office to mail out a priority package.

This has been Kai's early-morning gambling terminology primer, for those in the audience who didn't grow up with a numbers book in the back room at Uncle Louie's.

im familiar with it, but read all of my post, did it make any sense? We share the winnings *is there really anything at stake?* all 3 of us 50% each *you cant do 50% each if theres 3 people...* and as gambling goes, i was being a smart ass about 90% of my posts...
