Okay, now that we've got that out of the way...

Welcome to my birthday.

In this game, there is a dinner team A (6/29) and a dinner team B (6/30). 

Dinner team A has 10 to 11 spots and will meet me at 99 Favor Taste [285 Grand St, New York, NY 10002] on the actual day of my birthday for a hot pot dinner. (6/29 - 830EST)

Dinner team B will be meeting me at LaoJie [105 Bowery, New York, NY 10002] for hot pot dinner on the day AFTER my birthday (6/30 - 830EST)

Please confirm with me your attendance for whichever day, based on availability and capacity. 

-- The game --  

I've made a betting sheet. In it, dinner team A will bet on the odds of different things that could happen for dinner team B and vice versa. 

For example, betting on what the bill total will be for the dinner. Or, betting on how many plates of beef will be consumed for each dinner. 

I will hold the answers for both, and at the end of it all, we’ll tally up the number of accurate bets, and one dinner team will be the winner. 

I'll send out the full list of bets right before dinner tonight.

For now, please submit any suggestions for bets + Spurge-specific bets here BY 7EST TODAY!

Thank you for eating and betting.

Disclaimer: the proliferation of phone-based sports betting/ market prediction betting is bleak, and it sucks how much it's infiltrated popular culture, politics, and daily life here in the US. It seems like the only economies we have rn are AI and this, and I'm fucking tired of talking about AI, so I decided to make a bit out of the other one to reflect our current moment and celebrate this year of ME with YOU all :)

Thanks for playing.
