With 50% of the total votes Lyndon Reid is headed to Affiliate Summit West!
Congratulations Lyndon!
Lyndon will receive a Platinum Affiliate Summit pass, 3 nights hotel, and up to $500 airfare reimbursement.
Lyndon also opted to “gamble” so he will receive $2,000.00 cash to gamble on his choice of 1 hand of black jack or 1 spin of roulette betting red/black.
What do you think he will choose? Do you have any advice for him?
Special thanks to our sponsors Affiliate Summit (covered hotel+pass) and AzoogleAds (covered the 2,000.00 cash prize).

Good stuff! Gratz Lyndon.
Shoe, could it be worth linking to Lyndon’s blog, or at least to the blog post he wrote as part of the competition?
Congratulations Lyndon. I would do the blackjack rather than roulette.
I knew he was going to win
- Good job
Lyndon, congratulations! This guy will add a ton to the party! The rest of you need to me there as well.
Congrats Lyndon.
I think he will bet on Blackjack.
Congrats!
You have to go blackjack for sure.
Red or black is 50/50 (unless you get screwed with green), at a 1:1 payout.
I forget what blackjack odds were, but you get the shot of a blackjack to make your 2,000 = 3,000 = $5,000 net takaway doe for you to spend.
Good luck =)
COngrat for his winning..
Congrats Lyndon! I’m looking forward to seeing you at ASW- Can’t believe it’s been almost a year since SXSW.
I’d go with roulette, but I’m a terrible blackjack player. Good luck and go for red
Lyndon,
You have 2 choices:
1. Take $1000
2. Lay down $2k on the roulette wheel
The expected value of option 1 is $1000.
With option 2, let’s say you put $2000 on black. There’s a 47.37% chance you will double your money and win a total of $4000. There’s a 52.63% chance you will lose and walk away with $0. The expected value of option 2 is ($4000 * .4737) + ($0 * .5263) = $1894.80. Mathematically, option 2 is a much, much better choice.
Congrats Lyndon.
Now we have to do a beer shotgun waterfall in Vegas.

Congrats Lyndon!
bet on red
@KRONiS
Congrats to Lydon on his accomplishment.
Congrats Lyndon. I would try your hand at blackjack. Good luck!
congrats.
i would say bet on red or black in roulette way better odds than a single hand of black jack in my opinion.
No skill involved just let fate decide
Congrats Lyndon, well done.
Go with blackjack I like your odds way better I dont care what others are saying. Good Luck!
what if he chooses blackjack and gets dealt two aces or 7-4? i.e. a split or double down hand? go big or go home I say.
knofun is a professional blackjack consultant. I say hire him to advise you on the fly during the hand.
Yeah, but knofun owes me for a football bet he made 2 Elite Retreats ago. Don’t go with him for sports betting.
A huge thanks to everyone for the votes and congrats.
The contest was a lot of fun and I am sure the conference will be nothing short of epic.
If you are going to be there – make sure we connect!
Thanks again.
Lyndon
He had to support of John Chow readers as well so no suprise.
My perfect prediction.
Nice to see when your voted people won.
Have a great time …
Congrats! I knew he would win
