You mean no way one could have known that none of p3ng/fl/ct or ult would win? Certainly. There would have had to have been a fair few people who would have bet on Ult above any of those three at the start of the round. Betting on Norse would have been an extremely long shot. Given membership quality and quantity ult would have been most likely, ct probably second, p3n 3rd and fl 4th in sensible bets (considering that fl and p3n both only had memberships in the mid 40s at this point whereas iirc ct was near full right from the start).
From slightly after a third of the round anyone who was aware of p3n and fl's agreement to stop ult winning would surely have bet on ct (assuming you thought that deal would hold).
Anyone who says they thought Norse would win before about three weeks out is surely either extraordinarily prescient or lying! If the former can we recruit you?
It is a shame there was no real round 65 who will win thread giving people's ordering at the start of the round. Would have been interesting to see if anyone put Norse in their top 3.
