Just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be nice if we could see what each "outwit" game was worth? I mean in the sense that we could see what he prize would be of any given game before we bet? Some of the prizes might be enticing enough to take that risk wouldn't it be?

I know I've held off on a few cause i didn't know what i would get if i won. Greed is a big motivation ya know, and to see the amount of gold pieces or doubloons or what ever taunting me i would be more inclined to fork up the risk for a chance at those taunting prizes...

I don't think they know how much the prize will be until the game is over, because the prizes are determined by how many people play.

*I think* ;)

It's a good idea but like mommytotwingirls says the value just isn't known. Not only is it the amount of people that play but also what gets voted for the most and if they even bet the SD, GD, or Gold.

Yes--you are right.

The value of the outwit will be based on the number of people who play and the number of people who win.

Each time someone chooses to bet, that money goes into the pot. When the winners are chosen, the pot is divided amongst them. Sometimes there are a lot of winners. Sometimes we've had 0 winners for a game!
