"TAR15 Casino Game - Finale Results! (for real this time!)" |
LAST EDITED ON 12-09-09 AT 11:59 PM (EST)TAR Casino Game?Man, you'd think betting on the outcome of this show would be a lot easier with the racers running through our Casino, huh? It was kinda neat seeing the season wrap up in Las Vegas. It seems like a really appropriate ending for this game. I'd like to think that it was the whole reason they ended in Vegas. I certainly can't think of another explanation.  Final Results
1st place - Meghan/Cheyne (2x)
2nd place - Sam/Dan (even)
3rd place - Brian/Ericka (0x) Groovy.The Finale Bonus game was to guess which player would say the word "million" first and it was Cheyne, who said it in their taxi after arriving in Las Vegas. I was surprised that it took that long, actually. It's much more exciting when they wait, instead of saying it during the first confessional. The Perfect Bet Award goes to none other than dragonflies who sextupled up (sixtupled?) with an All-In bet on the Bonus Game. A gutsy play for sure, but it definitely paid off!The final Greatest Gainer Award goes to both vennui and FFantasyFX, who both climbed 7 ranks in the final week. Nice job! And here is the final rankings! Highlight to read the Top 10!  Leaderboard
1. taffnic - 2984
2. ARNutz - 2723
3. Jims02 - 2339

35. ohmyheck - 0
36. Estee - 0
37. esquire - 0 In the end, it was taffnic who claimed the gold this year, after a smart Meghan/Cheyne final wager. taffnic's rise to #1 was a really interesting one, in that taffnic started the game relatively slow. The Week 1 bet actually netted +0 points, and taffnic started out in 34th place (out of 42). However, each week, taffnic slowly climbed up the charts. taffnic truly proved that you don't have to start out at the top to finish on top. So how did taffnic do it? In Week 8, taffnic scored huge in the PAT Bonus Game, being one of the few who identified FlightTime/BigEasy, which pushed the ranking from #11 to #2 overall. taffnic claimed the #1 spot with a perfect main game wager the following week, and never looked back. Congratulations on a game well played, taffnic. You're now in the Casino Game Hall of Fame! Previous Casino Game Champions

TAR15 Casino Game - taffnic Snagging the Silver Medal this year was ARNutz, while the Bronze Medal went to, um, Jims02. Each player was a contender throughout the season, and both occupied the top spot at one point during the season. Great game, ARNutz! And great game, me, I guess. Man, that sounds awkward. Thanks to all the players who became Guest Pitboss of the Week and submitted payout tables. They were: Week 3 - FFantasyFX (wacky payout table)
Week 4 - louislam (no entry)
Week 5 - Yogi (Loan Sharkin')
Week 6 - beau_30 (5 True Statements)
Week 8 - VisionQuest (PAT)
Week 9 - mikey (Confessional Game)
Week 10 - ARNutz (backwards table, Over/Under) ...And Some More Thanks!And, in addition to all the people above, special thanks to everyone who played the game this season. It's really awesome to see a lot of the crew back, season after season, to play the TAR Casino Game. It's also cool to see a new person to the game, like MaxZ this season, play a great game on their first attempt. It really proves that anyone can be successful at the game. Ultimately, it's the players that keep the Casino Game going, so I am thankful for every player who participated. You guys are great! I really enjoy hosting the game and I'm happy that people like playing it. I've been doing this so long now that I can't imagine the pre-Season5 days of not playing the game while watching TAR. It's also fun to have the fun little rivalries throughout the season. The two weeks I was #1 this season, I had michel nipping at my heels. It seems only appropriate that we finished next to each other in the rankings. I am always looking for ways to keep the game fresh from season to season, so if you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions, give me a heads-up in this thread! I'm always looking for new gimmicks and bonus games. Anyway, I've been going on and on and on. See you guys next season!

I'm sure you did the final totals right, Jims, but look carefully at your table at the top of the post......... I think it's hung over from the penultimate episode.......

jims, have you considered doing next season's casino game on another board? RTV is great, but it clearly isn't most active board anymore.
The 2 alternative boards that come to mind would be survivorsucks and realityfanforum, where there are lots more members and buzzling with posts.

#2? Oh wait...the dreaded invisible zone. #12? I'll take it. Definitely not my year. I liked the time bonus. Maybe you can switch it up by taking the difference between perhaps team #3 and team #4 for example. Something to look into: creating a super sucker bet where you predict placements for a particular week. I know this borrows from PTTE. Thanks again for hosting JIMS02!

Congratulations to Taffnic for a great performance.Looking at the podium, with ArNutz and Jims, I see an impressive trio so I'm happy with 4th!
(Although I got tired of seeing Jims' back-side!!) Thanks Jims for making this a fun game once more. I'm not sure I would have followed TAR this season if it hadn't been for your fine establishment and I actually liked this edition. A suggestion: For the last week, it's kind of impossible for anyone outside say the Top 5 to win. All three teams of racers will have been picked by one of our leaders so maybe you could add an other voting option. I'd suggest the Trifecta. We could vote for the Winner, for the one who says "Million" and for the correct order at the finish line.

I was 7th going into the finale, and figured the only shot I had was to make an all-in bet on the worst team (Brian/Ericka) and hope for a huge upset. If I would've gone all-in on the strongest team (Meghan/Cheyne), I would've gained two places and finished 5th. Like you pointed out, I had no chance. Still, those folks in the top 5 earned their places during the season, so I wouldn't make any major changes.

oh great, I manage to get #7 place in the end!! A really good ending for me~Jims, thanks for organizing this game from season to season, I really enjoy playing your game every week and this is the most important thing I have to do before each episode! This makes watching the episode more fun for me! Keep holding this game next season!!! =) Oh, when I see the Guest Pitboss of the Week list, I still feel pity that I did not submit any entry to you about the bonus game.. Well, as I always visit the page on the day before an episode airs, I don't realize that I would win this guess haha, I hope I still have chance to win it next season.
