We attempt to get the countdown to wager as accurate as possible, but sometimes there are issues beyond our control, such as:
Sometimes a MaxCar driver forgets his helmet and we can't start the race
Sometimes a Cyclists front tire needs some air
Sometimes we can't find the race official to start the race (too much partying the night before)
Sometimes the Zamboni driver is doing donuts on the ice to irritate the speed skaters
So long story short, we try and get the wagering start times as close as possible - but to be safe, get your wagers in ahead of time!
Sometimes "Last chance to wager" really means "we're closing any second!"
P.S. Remember - results of all our games are based on live events - so when there is a delay we're really waiting for that live event to finish so that we have the result for your game!
