SAFE HOUSE
THE VOW
DON'T LOOK NOW
GAMBLE: THIS MEANS WAR
BONUS: PERFECT SENSE

A reminder of the gambling rules, slightly tweaked and added to the official rules post.

The last thing that needs to be covered is gambling. In short: you gamble on the film I select, no other. You can bet as many points as you have going into the round. (If for whatever reason you go negative, you have to fix that before you bet again.) Violating this rule will disqualify the bet, but not the other guesses. If you choose not to bet anything but put forth a guess anyway, no points will be rewarded one way or the other. Like normal guesses, bets may not be edited after the first review is posted unless the first review posted is a bonus. Also like normal guesses, if you're late to the party and miss the first review you can still put forth a bet. It should be noted, though, that you would not be allowed to edit anything after posting late guesses and/or bets. I don't think that's been abundantly clear before, so there you have it.

I hope Don't Look Now gets reviewed on time. :<

^ come on, guys. You're getting sloppy. It used to be that some of you explained why you'd chosen a certain number of stars. I've honestly heard of none of these new movies apart from Safe House and need someone to copy from! Think of me next time
