According to the weather.com Boston received .05 inches on Wednesday. Light rain started sometime before 11:54 pm local time. I'll settle the bets now.

I figured SOME part of Boston would get SOME rain. And .05 inch is very small... but, I was correct on that thought. Big win.

I suggest the losers get their original bet money back, because they were so close to the truth.

From now on admins and mods will be able to post vBookie events in the "Contests" forum. If a bet is related to a sporting event then it may be placed in the "Tailgaters" forum.

Several price reductions have been implemented in the store. If the loyal member discount applies to you the price automatically takes it into account.

Btw, does anyone know the difference between writing "into" and "in to"?

Yes... word to the wise people, going with the underdog always has a better pay out!

This is misleading because average temperatures, precip and such are usually recorded sometime before 6, if I'm not mistaken.
