That needs to be worked out. Some of us have certain objections to it.

I see I need to kick up ■■■■ in IGS more often.
I’m just a simple Sebbie. No one important.

Correct. I very much appreciate your offer, Valerie, and at some point I’ll have some event there. But this one we’re going to have at a different location.

Some days I wake up and wonder if the drugs I took last night are still in effect.
Today is one of those days.

100m on Melisma winning.

At what odds?
Without structured booking, I believe the proper method is this: an appropriate, trusted neutral party accepts the bids from any party. The winners receive the losers’ bids, proportionate to their own bid.
Let’s say parties A and B bid 100m and 100m on challenger X, while parties C and D bid 200 and 400 on challenger Y. Challenger Y wins. C and D receive, respectively, a third and two-thirds share of the loser’s bids of 200m total. If, however, challenger X were to win, parties A and B would evenly split the pot of 600m. In any given case, winning parties would receive their own bids back.
Though I suppose, structurally, that just means ‘total pot’ is the key, and proportional break-out of the bids is the thing, so we may as well include all bids in the pot.
Honestly, I never got into running books.
After the bookmaker’s rake, of course. You’ve got it right for so-called parimutuel betting, which is a good fit for the situation – a low number of expected bids combined with a large unknowns.
It’s a fascinating topic. If you felt curious at all, I recommend looking into it.
It is looking like we’ll need someone to handle bets for us…

I wouldn’t call you a simple Sebby by any stretch of the imagination, Melisma!

I would like to volunteer to be the special guest referee!

You know, why not.
Would the engaged parties consent to my serving as agent for the betting? Parimutuel betting format, 5% agent’s fee for handling, bets returned in cases of ‘tie’ or similar event with fee taken, formal judgment to be made by a referee mutually-agreed-upon by the parties in question, excepting in case of suspected malfeasance such as a thrown match or suspected corruption on the part of the referee whereupon bets will be returned to the bettors with no fee taken.
