 One Sexy CamelI guess there is such a thing as a good-looking camel. It does kind of make sense, since they have dog shows and stuff for the same purpose. It's just kind of interesting to think about the standards of what makes a perfect or imperfect camel. THE MORE YOU KNOW. Week 8 Results
1st place - Travis/Nicole (2x)
2nd place - Jason/Amy (1.5x)
3rd place - Tim/Marie (1.2x)
4th place - Leo/Jamal (1.1x)
5th place - Ally/Ashley (.2x)
6th place - Nicky/Kim (0x) And Then There Were NinePretty solid week overall. The top spots were fairly predictable for most players and even the bonus game was pretty straightforward to nail down. That double U-Turn certainly makes putting people in order much easier, eh? We did lose one more player this week, IanQuentin. He went for the bonus game and just barely missed out (thanks to Tim/Marie and Leo/Jamal). IanQuentin is also our current reigning champion, so unfortunately this ends his quest for a repeat. Gotta say, it was a really impressive run. I was actually expecting you to pull it out, there!  This week's Greatest Gainer Award goes to Yogi for climbing 4 ranks overall with a quadruple-up on Travis/Nicole. Very nicely done, sir.There were a lot of "perfect bets" but there can only be one Perfect Bet Award. This week, it goes to FFantasyFX (4.4x) who made a great bonus pick, as well as tacking on a little booster wager on Travis/Nicole. Great job, you. Leaderboard

10. IanQuentin - 0 louislam made an amazingly good bet this past week and padded the 1st place lead. There are still plenty of players within striking distance, however, especially considering the possible 4x payout format. Week 9 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.5x
3rd place - Break even
4th place - .5x
5th place - 0xMax Individual Bet - 190 points
Max Booster - 2x As you can see, as the payout table shrinks, the 2x max booster becomes increasingly more risky. Be very careful how you use it! Bonus Game - SAME or DIFFERENT?I teased this last week in the small print, so here goes... In this game, the object is to determine if each of the 5 teams is going to finish in the same rank as last week or in a different one. If you get all 5 of your predictions correct, you win. But if you get even one of your guesses wrong, then you'll lose your bet. Same/Diff Payout Table
All 5 Correct - 20x
At Least 1 Incorrect - 0xMax Bet - 15 points Since the scores are so varied across the board, this 20x payout might be your ticket to getting back in the game. You can go +285 on this game alone! Remember, your wager is on the whole set of 5 teams, so it's an all-or-nothing thing. For example, a bonus bet might look like: Bonus - 15 points Travis/Nicole - SAME
Jason/Amy - DIFFERENT
Tim/Marie - SAME
Leo/Jamal - DIFFERENT
Ally/Ashley - SAME Heck, you can even vote all 5 SAME or all 5 DIFFERENT if you want. It's up to you! TAR23 Teams Remaining
Ally/Ashley
Jason/Amy
Leo/Jamal
Tim/Marie
Travis/Nicole Good luck everyone!
