Reminds me of an article I found a while back when I was looking for places to play in LA. Never found parts II and II though.

Is that story real? Hard to imagine people who don't know a ton about pinball betting 1000's of dollars on it, but then I guess if they did know more about it, they wouldn't be betting that much.

Target score betting does sound kind of interesting though. So, a weak player could bet someone that they could break XX score and the awesome player could do the same (as long as they both agree on the scores). If both players achieve the goal it's a push . . .

It was a 4 player game. Myself, Deathsave, Elijah and Louie. He won with 500,000 something.

You should ask Deathsave what he did with his winnings.

Whatever, Oktoberfest is long over by the 15th. We might not be original but at least we have context going for us.

And we don't do that dumb spelling where we need to let people know its a pin-ball tournament because we're all to stupid to figure it out.

And we have better payouts!
