<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 1378427, member: 19065"]And just like I countered earlier too, that the sooner one places a guess the better chance they have of being in the contest with a better chance to win. Those who may have conspired to wait closer to the 25th have probably lost their chance at a likely winning spread. First come first served on who gets to place a guess on which price range and the rest are narrowed down until all contestants are defined withing the set ranges. The contest isn't flawed in the least, it's just the way it was designed. There was no guarantee that everyone who wanted in could or would get in with a reasonable opportunity. The same could be true if there was only one-cent difference, just a lot more people involved, and a lot more would be loosing guesses in the game because it would be that much harder to hit the figure exactly. I really don't get all the belly aching about the way this generous contest was set up nor why it seems acceptable to ask that rules be altered for something that works just fine, if not for a few careless participants not following the rules with their guesses overlapping other previous guesses spreads. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to all who got a chance in the ranges close to what the price may end up being and thanks Jason for offering many contestants a fair and equal chance in your contest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
