"TAR14 Casino Game - Week 9 Results / Week 10 Entry"
LAST EDITED ON 04-23-09 AT 07:34 PM (EST) The Deaf Card You've heard of the "race card" before, but The Amazing Race is definitely more interesting in the "deaf card" instead. This week, there was a big hoopla over Kisha/Jen's attitude toward deaf people. And, they ran into each other a lot. Mark/Michael finished last, of course, and were eliminated. Week 9 Results 1st place - Lakisha/Jennifer (2x) 2nd place - Tammy/Victor (1.6x) 3rd place - Margie/Luke (1.2x) 4th place - Jaime/Cara (.2x) 5th place - Mark/Michael (0x) 6 hours, 32 minutes ...That was the correct answer to the bonus game. Very few people got the bonus correct this week, or at least within their time range. There were a couple successful Risky Bets. For the main wagers, the 4th place (.2x) finish for Jaime/Cara ended up hurting a lot of scores across the board, as they were the most popular pick. Unlikely winners Lakisha/Jennifer finished 1st, which was unexpected to many. This week's Perfect Bet Award goes to ARNutz (3.08x) for betting a huge amount on Kisha/Jen fully comped. Special shout-out to jbenz (2.6x), who made another comped Kisha/Jen wager. Good job! Speaking of which, the Greatest Gainer Award also goes to jbenz for jumping 9 ranks to #13 over. Nicely played. Leaderboard 1. ARNutz - 4621 2. 5cats - 4044 3. Yogi - 2113 4. louislam - 729 5. KwietOne - 686 6. flipxcyd - 567 7. sarah1234 - 442 8. Weez - 378 9. taffnic 375 10. FFantasyFX - 332 11.

Corvis - 1 "I have a weird feeling that this could be a real game-changing week." - Jims02* (04/14/09)* And it certainly was. The top spots have shifted around dramatically, showing how unpredictable this game can be. The question is if/when the tables will turn again? All it takes is one poor week, after all. Week 10 Payout Table 1st place - 2x 2nd place - 1.5x 3rd place - .5x 4th place - 0x Boring payout table for now, but that's because we'll have a spicy table next week. It's going to be so lucrative that we won't need a bonus game next week. Bonus Game - Bad Credit? No Problem! Ever since the Federal Bank of Jims got its huge bailout, I don't care about credit scores or equity doodads anymore. Credit for everybody! "Bad debts?" I don't even know that term. "Liquidity?" Pah! Pah, I say! This week, players have the ability to borrow 1,000 points from the Federal Bank of Jims, and use these points for your wagers this week. There are only four conditions. 1) If you take a loan, you have to post your picks before 7 PM Eastern time on Sunday, April 26. That's one hour earlier than normal. 2) You can't comp a wager on any loaned points. 3) You have to pay back the entire loan next week. 4) You also have to payback 25% interest on those points. In other words, if you borrow 1,000 points this week, I'm going to be collecting the 1,000 points next week, plus 250 points of interest. But, if you can take that 1,000 points and double it to 2,000 points, then paying back 1,250 isn't a big deal. But if you lose the points on a bad wager? I still want my points back. I can be very persuasive. I've hired Max Headroom as my personal debt collector. And you don't have to borrow all 1000 points if you don't want to. That's just the max. Remember, that I'm not giving out comped payouts on the loaned points. So, if your wager looks like... 200 points to spend. 200 points - Lakisha/Jennifer 1st place - 3.5x 2nd place - 0x Borrowing 1000 points. 1000 points - Lakisha/Jennifer And, let's say Kisha/Jennifer finish 1st. Your 200 points would gain the 3.5x multiplier, but the other 1,000 will simply get the 2x. If you're going to borrow, try to make that wager separate, so I can tell which wager goes with the comped payout (if applicable). For those who enjoy math, the above entry would end up with a score of 1450 for next week after taking back the loaned points/interest. A big jump from 200 this week, huh? TAR14 Teams Remaining Cara/Jaime Lakisha/Jennifer Margie/Luke Tammy/Victor Good luck, everyone! It's been a roller coaster ride for me this season, but I'm determined to finish Top Ten.

I've hired Max Headroom as my personal debt collector.
Let it be known that I'm keeping all recovered points for my personal use. When added to my current total of 0 points, I should be in the running for the title after this week. Borrow big, everyone!

Lots to think about this week!
I will raise the max payout to 2.2x and wager 85 points on Cara&Jaime. The remaining 7 points will be wagered on Margie&Luke.
Knowing that the most I can end up with after this leg is around 230 points, I will borrow 100 bonus points and place them on Tammy&Victor to make my odds of breaking the bank at around 20%.

I take this to mean that we can't post our bonus wager until Sunday, April 26 before 7pm.
Just making sure!

Oops. You can make bonus picks on any day you want, as long as it's before 7 PM on Sunday. I mixed my "before" and "on" terminologies. Thanks for the tip, I've changed the initial post.

I think you did this wrong..
1132 times 2 equals 2264
1000 times 2 equals 2000 plus
32 times 2 equals 64 for a grand total of 2064
The way I read the rules, the second equation is what you want to figure out. Jims can clarify further if I am wrong.

25. "RE: TAR14 Casino Game - Week 9 Results / Week 10 Entry"

Eh, if you make one bulk wager with an extra 1,000 points, the loan is pretty much implied. The only reason I'd want the loaned points separate was in the case of wagers on two separate teams (with comps). That would make it tough to guess which points should be comped or not.
