God damn it, I thought she was "too obvious" to pick.
Really, dumbass? Too obvious, for a dead pool. Go **** myself.

I guess that the odds are slim that Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears AND Lady Ga Ga will die in one year....

Most points awarded: Michael Jackson - 273 points (Wezil)
I thought: "how did I get weaselled out of this?"
It took a while to find the 2009 dead pool and I found out about Wezil's double edged sword
Points = 150 + (100 – age) + (21 – Rank) + Bonus
Death: Michael Jackson, age 50
Asmodean (#3) -- +218 pts
Germanos (#1) -- +220 pts
Wezil (#18) -- +203 pts, plus Daily Double Award +50 = +253
However, 253 and not 273 points as listed as 'most points awarded'. Am I missing something?
More eerie news from that thread:

Yes. The Unnatural Causes Award. 20 points.Originally posted by germanos View Post
My Michael Jackson points came in dribs and drabs - hence the confusion. I was hoping to avoid something similar with Winehouse but 2-4 weeks is too long to not award points.
Since I don't really want to have to edit the points later I'm going to play the odds and presume the cause was not "natural" and award the points now. If it turns out I guessed wrong I will remove the bonus 20 at a later date."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

Amy Winehouse was 27 and the choice of two players - embalmer42 (6) and germanos (9).
embalmer42 = (171 - 6) + (100 - 27) + 20 unnatural causes* = 258 points
germanos = (171 - 9) + (100 - 27) + 20 unnatural causes* = 255 points
While not a points record this is a new Youngest Death record for the Poly Dead Pool (formerly held by Jennifer Lyon).

Quite shocked to still be in the lead. When I heard about Winehouse on Saturday, I figured multiple people might jump ahead of me...Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011
