Lose weight the fun way.

I'm very curious about the application of the no-lose guarantee to Transformers. So far, the final payout has never been less than the maximum buy-in, but are we sure that DietBet wouldn't say that you needed to meet the goal in each round for the guarantee to apply in a Transformer?

I'm pretty sure, and I think I might have an e-mail or other post from them confirming this, but to win a Transformer, all you have to do is lose the 10% in the 6 months (plus qualify at the end of Round 5). I'm more curious what happens if the final payout is less than the buy-in but players win earlier rounds so their totals are more than their buy-in. So I paid in $150 and the final prize is $140. If I won any other round, I made back all my $$ over the whole bet and didn't lose anything, but someone else who only won the last round gets $150 that round and it seems a little unfair. Or if it's between the pre-pay and the monthly pay amounts, so I paid in $125 and the payout is $140, so I won $15 but monthlys who won the last round get $150. (adjust amounts for different bet stakes)
