where do you think the scavenger hunt money came from?

Several people who donated their start-up money and their earnings. There's a load of money out there, it gets more powerful when it's raked into a pile.

Would it excite anyone if I offered 10,000 for each 1,000 bet that Diana gets ejected next week?

For every 1,000 casino dollars that you bet Diana Vickers is ejected next week, I'll give you 10,000 casino dollars if you're right and she's thrown off. How many would you like to stake?

I'm only learning, I've only ever once put a bet on with a bookie in my life. On a horse. Which horse would you like, they asked. The one nearest the rail in the next race I said. You don't want to know what odds it is or who the rider is, they asked? No I said, here's two quid. I bought a very nice bottle of whiskey with the winnings.

How about I'll pay out 5,000 casino dollars if it's any of Alexandra or Diana or Laura who get kicked off, for every 1,000 casino dollars you stake? Is that more tempting?

I've just been checking that I'm more generous than the real bookies, I saw some right gems out there.

Vinnie Jones is 100:1 against being the next Doctor Who, for example. I'll tell you one thing, it won't be Jonathan Bloody Ross.

Roy Wood's Wizzard is 14:1 to get I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day highest in the Christmas Day Radio 1 singles top 40 out of all previously released Christmas songs. How much of a nightmare would that be? And I *like* Roy Wood.

No, we can't do it like that, we both got equal points, that's a tie in anyone's language.

Ah, you are kind, spot. I love the trivia game, it is loads of fun. After FG hits 1,000,000, go check out Dr. G's time for today!

People are very properly quick to pay, I'm impressed.

Your two lines now read

Kaz on Alexandra betting 2,000 to win 9,500

Kaz on Rachel betting 1,000 to win 25,000

Did you see my really exciting offer that I'll pay out 5,000 casino dollars if it's any of Alexandra or Diana or Laura who get kicked off on November 8th, for every 1,000 casino dollars staked? Nobody's taken that one and I'd thought it would tempt everyone. What am I doing wrong?

Bet 1,000 casino dollars to win 10,000 casino dollars if Nomad leaves FG before Christmas.

Bet 1,000 casino dollars to win 3,000 casino dollars if the FG Moderators are disbanded within the next four weeks.
