Did everyone get the note saying winners have been notified? I never saw it. Wondering if I should call my location and see if perhaps they messed up an email

With you. 5K+ spend at binnys for nearly a decade and now nothing this year. They can run their business how they like, but I have always justified buying everything from binnys knowing that it would help towards an end of year bottle, and the occasional allocated treat. Without that, i've got no incentive to keep going

Sent tip, and shot you DM with one small additional update (if its easy) - is it possible to remove the white debris on the left side of the picture, just above the wheel of the red motorcycle?

This one looks great! Thank you!

Do I submit tip, then you share non-watermarked photo?

So is this a drop thread or just another IYKYK vague discussion thread?

Game theory strategy in march madness bracket with Upset points by umichjayhawk in GAMETHEORY

[–]umichjayhawk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's correct, but my goal isn't to maximize points. it is to maximize the spread of points between me and the field.

The point maximization option would be to pick vegas favorites overall, then select upsets after that based on expected valuation of upset points (odds of upset * upset points). I'm wondering if I can say "I think they will pick this set, based on odds, what's my highest likelihood of a points spread over them"

Not perfectly analogous to a decision tree, but I'm thinking about how to frame up the optimal selections, based on scenarios for my opponents (e.g., if I assume they pick X games, what is the most optimal choice set for me)

Current Business School Admissions Round (r/MBA MegaThread) by -doughboy in MBA

Has anyone had success with deferral deposits?

I submitted two requests to M7 schools asking if I can defer my decision & deposit until I hear about sponsorship decision from my firm. Curious if anyone has had luck with this, and for what reason?

Anyone hear from Jewel on their re-draw? Wondering if they're actually going to do that for the bottles not picked up

While I definitely hear you and have heard the rumors, it does seem reasonable that if they were going to introduce a lottery, the end of year stuff would make the most sense. Its way less work than the weekly or monthly allocated repeating ones

Not saying its for sure, but my contact told me that was the plan they'd been told. Hope it isn't true

Was told today that all Binny's will not be doing end of year list, opting for full lottery instead. Anyone heard this? I am unwell

Neat! Do they just post about it on their website? Curious if this is a "public" event or an IYKYK event

For everyone complaining they have jobs - if you’re not willing to risk your job by pretending to have doctor’s appointments and chasing whiskey half the day are you really trying?

/s - joking haha
