Attack on Iraq Betting Pool

Friday, August 30, 2002 | Momaw Nadon

[Momaw Nadon]

It seems like an attack on Iraq is coming soon.

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.

Whoever gets closest to the date and time wins.

Attack time must be specified in Month, Day, Year, Hour, and Minute

For the hour, don't forget to specify what time zone you are referring to.

There is no decision on a prize to be awarded yet except for bragging rights.

Dude, I GOT to see your code for this. Thank you so much.

[Senator_Palpatine]

Goood....Everything is proceeding as planned... I have the Senate bogged down in procedures. By the time this incident comes up for a vote, they will have no choice but to accept your control of the system.....

Send the fleet to the far side of the Gulf. There it will stay until I called for....We will then crush the Iraqis with one swift stroke....

[Mustang]

I blew my last SWAG of 12.07.02.

How about 01.30.03 @ 0230 Zulu.

Mustang sends...again.

[Cultural Jihad]

Who can post the moon phase chart? I saw it on another thread.

Just go to LunarRepublic.com!

[patriciaruth]

Just for fun, I'm going with the following prediction.

There will be no attack on Iraq by the U.S.

Saddam Hussein will be escorted out of the country by his own generals in exchange for immunity on February 7, 2003. The U.S. and U.N. member forces will jointly walk into Iraq and take over the government.

[patriciaruth]

12 noon, Baghdad time.

Senator Palpatine,

At what hour and minute (while specifying the time zone) will we then crush the Iraqis with one swift stroke?

[Senator_Palpatine]

12 midnight Baghdad time.... Everything is going as planned......"May we all bring Peace and Prosperity to the Republic during the Holiday Season"

[JosephW]

How about 2/1/03 at 4:30 pm EST.

Hit his groundhogs before they can see their shadows.

You seem to have some pull in this matter: anybody you know can convert bets into graphics chart?

Man, nobody told me you were ET. You shoulda included that in your profile! :)

[txhurl]

That post was mistakenly directed to you, instead of Mamow.

[Momaw Nadon]

You seem to have some pull in this matter: anybody you know can convert bets into graphics chart?

I don't know how to post a graph of the bets to this thread, but if anyone is willing and able, it should be interesting to see.

Just from looking at the bets, it seems as though the predictions are clustered around new moons.

[txhurl]

Yes, and Feb 1-2 (my window) is lookin' hot. :)

[WhiteGuy]

Place your bet as to when the attack will begin.........

No more than 12 hours after USA Today polling shows

bush's favorable approval numbers below 50%

UPDATE

---

3 recent polls show bush's approval numbers on the economy hovering in the low 50's

It won't be long now...................
