And We're Off!
Gotta say, that parasailing looked like a ton of fun... I kinda wished that I had been out there myself when I saw it. Although I also realized I probably would've been tricked into being the one searching by accident, so maybe it's a moot point.
The rowing challenge probably wasn't one of their most exciting Roadblock ideas ever, but at least the parasailing was awesome to see.

A Rocky Start
Overall, it was kind of a rough start for the TAR Casino Game, in terms of scoring. Although it wasn't completely terrible week for scores in general... Leo/Jamal was the overwhelming popular pick, and his .9x didn't hurt anyone too badly. Just kinda treading water, though.
We did have several people manage to finish with a positive score, including one clever player who doubled-up. 
Next week, I'll start up the Greatest Gainer Award and Perfect Bet Award.

taffnic has taken a commanding lead so far, being the only player to double-up. We still have a long way to go, though, so it's definitely still anyone's game!

Max Individual Bet - 20 points
Max Individual Bets!
Once again, we're doing another Limit Game for this season... Although one could argue last season, with the TAR Credit Card, kinda blurred that line again. So this means all bets this year will have a limit cap called the Max Individual Bet. The Max Individual Bet is the maximum amount that a player may wager on a specific team. This week, it's a 20 point limit.
Now, if you have more than 20 points, you can still use them all. You just can't bet them all on one team. You could theoretically bet the max on one team and then bet whatever's leftover on someone else. It's just one individual bet can't exceed 20 points.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be sure to answer!
