Play Along with Angryman in Vegas

The Angryman is on his way to Las Vegas, and you can join in the fun. Below is the over/under sheet for my trip. For those not familiar with over/under, the goal is to predict whether I will go over or under the number provided for each line below. Click “comments” to give your predictions (“1. under 2. over 3. under” etc.). Winner gets a 5% share of all my gambling winnings (with no downside in the event of an overall loss). Relevant info: Depart Oct 22 and return Oct 30. Flights are Ottawa – Chicago – LV – Chicago – Ottawa. Five days will be spent in conference sessions and meetings on official business.

Over/Under
    1. Total hours of flight delay for trip: 5
    2. Number of airline employees I will advise of my dissatisfaction: 3
    3. Number of activities I will partake in at levels that could be considered compulsive: 3
    4. Percentage I will tip room service beyond the gratuity already added to the bill: 4
    5. Percentage of meals eaten a la buffet: 50
    6. Number of times I will get frustrated by the lineup for custom omelettes and instead fill an entire plate with breakfast sausages: 1
    7. Dollars I will win playing poker: 0
    8. Non-poker gambling winnings: 0
    9. Total performances by Wonderboogie (the greatest band ever) I will attend: 2
    10. Number of orifices inspected by customs agents upon my return to Canada: 1
      Tie Breaker.
      Predict my net gains or losses for all gambling undertakings.


In the event of a tie, we go to the tie-breaker, in the event of a tie-breaker tie (Price is Right rules are NOT in effect) a winner will be chosen at random from the best prognosticators.

1. Over. If all goes according to plan, the plane should crash.
2. Over. I could see you being quite upset with #1
3. Over. Otherwise why go to Vegas
4. Under. I know you're cheap.
5. Over. Is there anywhere else to eat in Vegas?
6. Over. I suggest having the fish with caramel sauce. There shouldn't be a wait for that.
7. Over. Just don't drink too much.
8. Under. You're bound to throw a nickel in somewhere
9. Over. Since, I assume they are associated with Wonder Bra
10. Under. Sorry to disappoint you.

Tie breaker: Plus $1000 otherwise this contest will have wasted my time.

1. over (total for all flights, I assume, I don't think I've ever been on a flight that was completely on time)
2. over (Are there bonus points If I guess the Airline President gets a letter?)
3. over
4. over (I assume that you're pretty generous, depending on the service)
5. over, I'm thinking there are a lot of buffets (although I've never been)
6. under
7. under
8. over (you gotta win at something...)
9. under... scary, (I just checked their website)...but yet funny, and likely pretty entertaining..
