"TAR14 Casino Game - Rules and Week 1 Entry!"
LAST EDITED ON 02-09-09 AT 00:24 AM (EST) Salutations! ...And welcome to the tenth edition of the TAR Casino Game. Otherwise known as the TAR14 Casino Game. We've been in business for ten games now, and we're still going strong. As a business, we're down somewhere around 100,000 points now. But it's all good. I make it all back from cocktail sales anyway. This being the tenth version of the game, I'm really excited to make it the best one yet. I've got some real tricks up my sleeve this year, for all you returning veterans. For those who have never played before, I should probably explain myself first. The TAR Casino Game is an online game, exclusive to Reality TV World, in which players may bet points on the outcome of each leg of The Amazing Race. It's a little like making a bet on the outcome of the Kentucky Derby. Except with reality TV contestants and not horses. If the team you wager on places high, you'll gain points. If they falter, you'll lose a few. The person at the end of the season with the most points wins. Those are the quick and easy rules. For more detailed instructions, read the rules below. The Rules 1. Each player in Week 1 starts with 20 points. In every subsequent week, this amount decreases, so join now. Also, these are the only points you get, so don't waste them. Once you run out of points, you're out of the game. 2. Every week, you may choose to wager any or all of your points on the various teams. In previous seasons, there was a cap on the number of points you can wager. In this game, there's no limit. You can wager as many of your points as you want, on as many teams as you want. Regulations are for the auto industry. We're going No Limit this season, folks. 3. You don't have to bet all your points. Any points you don't wager are banked, and will be carried over to the following week without risk. Don't have a good feeling about this week? Then go conservative. Got a hunch on another? All-In, baby. 4. Decimals are evil. Therefore, all wagers must be a whole number. Also, in scoring your entries, all decimal points will be rounded up. It makes the scoreboard prettier that way. No one wants to see a final score of 693.22463 to 612.1935. 5. Absenteeism sucks. If you miss three straight entries, you're eliminated from the game. If you're going to be on vacation, send me a note and I'll keep the records. I'll even take wagers in advance. 6. All entries must be entered before showtime: Sunday, February 15th, 8 PM Eastern Time. Any entries after that time will not be counted. Any edits to an existing entry after the deadline will be penalized. The clock is based on the clock on this message board. I may change the deadline if the forums' clock gets all wonky again, like last year. 7. Your wagers will be scored based on the almighty Payout Table. The Payout Table gives a multiplier value to each ranking, and determines the return on your wagers. Each of your individual wagers are multiplied by their appropriate multipliers, and then totaled together. For example, here's the Payout Table for Week 1. Week 1 Payout Table 1st place - 2x 2nd place - 1.6x 3rd place - 1.4x 4th place - 1.2x 5th place - 1.1x 6th place - Break even 7th place - .9x 8th place - .8x 9th place - .6x 10th place - .4x 11th place - 0x *Example* - You've got 20 points and you choose to wager them in the following manner... Mickey/Minnie - 10 points Donald/Daisy - 3 points Huey/Dewey/Louie - 3 points Bank 4 points Now lets pretend Mickey & Minnie finished 4th, Donald & Daisy finished 10th, and Huey, Dewey, & Louie finished 1st. Your score would be... Mickey/Minnie - 12 points * 1.2 = 14.4 points Donald/Daisy - 3 points * .4 = 1.2 points Huey/Dewey/Louie - 3 points * 2 = 6 points Total - 14.4 + 1.2 + 6 = 21.6 points = 22 points* (rounding)* Overall, a 2-point gain. Could've been better, could've been worse. Here are the teams you'll be wagering on. TAR14 Teams Remaining Amanda/Kris Brad/Victoria Cara/Jaime Christie/Jodi Jennifer/Preston Lakisha/Jennifer Linda/Steve Margie/Luke Mark/Michael Mel/Mike Tammy/Victor As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. And check out the Sample Entry below. Good luck everyone! Let's make this the best round ever! If you're wondering why I'm suddenly switching to No Limit, you'll understand in a couple weeks. It's almost mandatory for the theme this year.

Happy Happy Joy Joy -- yet another opportunity to go bust in the first 25 minutes of the show!!
Let me put all 20 on Huey/Dewey & Louie!
OK, so I have to bet on actual contestants...
A new, bold, completely irrational strategy:
5 on Lakisha and Jennifer (I have a student named Jennifer)
5 on Tammy and Victor (I have a student named Victor)
5 on Jennifer and Preston (I have a student named Jennifer)
5 on Brad and Victoria (I have a student named Victor)
well, the pattern almost worked...

Why is Louie separate from Huey & Dewey? That doesn't seem fair to me. Nobody loves Louie.
Of course, it's also unfair that there's frickin' three of them on a team.

Every TAR season, I play this game. And every TAR season, I bust out before the midpoint of the season. So why not, I'll try it again. Maybe I'll bust out in week 1 for a change this time around.

I doubt you'll bust out in Week 1 unless Jennifer & Preston go home in week 1. And somehow I doubt that'll happen. Still, I'm not imitating your bets, and I doubt I would've imitated anyone's even without your warning.

Even if Jennifer & Preston finish 1st this week, I'm still busting Max Headroom out of the game. If he gets too successful at the game, it would make me look bad. And I can't handle that kind of bludgeoning at such an endeavor. Besides, I still haven't forgotten about this season's Fantasy Football league.
*glares at Max Headroom*
Or I could follow my own rules. Either one. I haven't decided yet.

Thanks, Jims02. It's good to finally be able to play the game!
I advise you to follow your own rules concerning Max. He'll probably knock himself out of the game if he's that bad sooner or later. Actually, maybe you should bust me out. I might make you look worse in the game than Max ever could.

Yippy skippy! I always love the casino, even if I find myself desperately betting on whoever is the least popular pick of the week because that's my only hope for making up any ground after digging myself into a terrible hole with ill-advised bets. I have a great time up until then!
I'm intrigued by the foreshadowing of a No Limit theme. I hope I'm still around long enough to find out what you're hinting at...
Here's my bet for the week:

I only have 20 points left? Wow your bartender must be really good, either that, or there was that time when michel got me to buy drinks for everyone...
I'm looking forward to another season of TAR and playing in the casino!! I'm not really sure who to bet on, so I'm letting it ride on my favorites:
Tammy/Victor - 10 points
Mark/Michael - 5 points
Margie/Luke - 5 points

Time to take money from Jims again! I hadn't looked at the teams yet but this game forced me to get into TAR mode.
Tammy and Victor: 10 points
Amanda and Kris: 10 points

CTGirl; do we wager a drink on this season?!

I meant we do the race FOR a drink, not racing drinks!

I have decided that this is the season where I finally do well at this game. No more just picking teams based on a whim. I'm doing research, dangit!
15 points - Tammy/Victor
5 points - Mel/Mike
And for the secret bonus, my answer is "Egypt."

Oh, yeah, like I'd make a secret bonus that obvious.

I played way too conservatively last season (my first). So I'm trying another way. (Maybe I'll be invited to the bar when I'm out early.)
All in on Mark and Michael.

Are you counting cards? Are you Rain Man?
It's only Week 1 and I can already tell the Casino doesn't have a chance at making a profit this year.

>Are you counting cards? Are you Rain Man?
No, no .. counting cards is bad (One for bad, two for good?).
I figured that guess/bet was a good chance to go for the much coveted 'Perfect Bet' award as no one was betting on them 'all in'.

At least my name will be at the top for 1 week..

I usually just enjoy TAR without any of the extras but this looks like fun. And I need the distraction of over-thinking another reality show.

8 points on Jennifer/Preston
8 points on Tammy/Victor
4 points on Mark/Michael
I guess I'm off to a pretty good start this season - no matter what my Week One results. Usually I stumble in sometime around Week 2, half hung over and with ten less points in my pocket, muttering that I had no idea the show was going to start this past weekend. And this is before I hit the Casino bar. :-p

56. "Oh, NO!"

So I completely forgot about the new season starting this week (midterms and presentations this week. )
Oh, well. I'll be back next week ready to go!
TAR7 Casino Game
-Format: Limit again. Two week gap between the end of TAR6 and the beginning of TAR8.
1st place - esquire
2nd place - tribephyl
3rd place - tvgeek401
TAR8 Casino Game
Format: Limit. This season was notable for leaning heavily on cryptic bonuses, including the appearance of several "computer players" who popped into the game for a few weeks. Odie was the Mole.
1st place - Neobie
2nd place - tvgeek401
3rd place - Yogi
TAR9 Casino Game
Format: No Limit, the first season to do so.
1st place - Neobie
2nd place - Higgs
3rd place - bighair
Notice I suddenly dropped off the "winners list" when No Limit showed up.

Hi! I've never done this before so bear with me I'm guessing since the ep is over, we now have 19 points to play with? So:
10 on Brad/Victoria
9 on Tammy/Victor
That looks weird
Maybe we should call them Victor/Victoria?
Not that I have an opinion one way or another ;)
