"TAR18 Casino Game - Wk2 Results / Wk3 Entry"
Posted by Jims02 on 03-02-11 at 08:59 PM
goes to the player who jumps up the most ranks in a particular week. Our inaugural winner this year is IanQuentin, who climbed a very cool 22 ranks to #20 overall, thanks to a rebuy. samboohoo also turned lemons into lemonade, moving up 20 spots. Nicely done!Haunted by the U-Turn
Poor Amanda & Kris, those U-Turns just seem to follow them around, huh? At least this one was their own fault, but still. Kind of a shame that it cost them another season on The Amazing Race. The really ironic thing about it is that it seems relatively less likely (considering some of the talent this season) that they would've been a target later on by some of the teams.
Week 2 Results
1st place - Zev/Justin (2x)
2nd place - Flight Time/Big Easy (1.8x)
3rd place - Jet/Cord (1.6x)
4th place - LaKisha/Jennifer (1.4x)
5th place - Margie/Luke (1.2x)
6th place - Mel/Mike (even)
7th place - Kent/Vyxsin (.8x)
8th place - Jaime/Cara (.6x)
9th place - Gary/Mallory (.4x)
10th place - Ron/Christina (.2x)
11th place (kinda) - Amanda/Kris (0x)A Good Start
Overall, we had a good start as a group. A lot of good scores among the mix in this first week. We also had a few new players join in this week, cahaya, Georjanna, and Nume. We almost had tvgeek401, but they narrowly missed the posting deadline. Hopefully we'll see them this week!
Unfortunately, we did lose two players pretty early this season, Molaholic and taffnic, who unfortunately used their rebuy on Amanda/Kris. This season didn't turn out too well, but hopefully I'll see you next season, so you can turn that luck around!
The Greatest Gainer Award
The Perfect Bet Award goes to the player who has the best statistical wager (in terms of their payout). This week, it goes to samboohoo and MzTee who both doubled-up with Zev/Justin wagers. Very cool!

Good luck everyone! 
Also, (*shameful plug alert*) check out my little animation short I did recently. To satisfy my creative urges, I've been dabbling a little in animation and this is my first real project I've completed. Let me know what you think!
(And, yes, I did supply the voice of Yellow. And, no, that's not what my voice really sounds like.) 
LAST EDITED ON 03-05-11 AT 09:36 PM (EST) 20 points on Flight Time & Big Easy, P.S. Sorry about that. I didn't realize the maximum bet was only 25 points. LAST EDITED ON 03-06-11 AT 08:46 PM (EST) 25 on the Globetrotters ETA: I think I need to get my eyes checked so I reply to the first post next time, lol. ETA: Cute video!
10 points on Zev/Justin if that is the case then I will rebuy in and put it all on Zev and Justin.
ETA Loved your 26 vs quarter bit.
Unless, of course, you accept the notion that there was a spelling error in my entry... it should have read "Zev/Justin" 6 on Zev and Justin
Jet/Cord - 25 pts 25 - Flight Time/Big Easy Yay me! I still have a lot of ground to make up. Edited because I think I screwed up. 25 on Jet & Cord I think the max is 25, so this should be correct now. Sorry. 25 Gary/Mallory LAST EDITED ON 03-04-11 AT 11:15 PM (EST) 25 on Globetrotters I'll probably be back to change closer to the race. Don't want to loose 2nd place 9 - The Cowboys bank 1
25 Ron/Cristina Before I forget for the third week in a row, I am going to go all in on the Cowboys. 10 on the cowboys.
Cute little animation, Jims! I'm gonna go with... 7 on the Globetrotters And I'll take the 26 pennies chiubakka 22 pts 15 pts- Flight Time/Big Easy Spreading the bets a bit this week... 12 - Zev/Justin 25 on Flight Time/Big Easy The Amazing Race Fan from Hong Kong!
Just a guess.... 25 on Kisha/Jen
Zev & Justin - 12 Let's see.. 3 quarters and 1 penny to bet.. Flight Time/Big Easy x 25 Well done on the video Jims! 25 - Globetrotters I'll bank that extra penny! Nice video. You made me think that, here in Québec, we often call a quarter "un trente sous" even if it's worth 25 cents. Before you think we can't count, here's a link explaining everything: http://carnets.opossum.ca/granderousse/2003/11/pourquoi_trente_sous_pour_une.html Did I mention it was in French? All on the Globetrotters.
11 Kent-Vixen all 18 on Luke and Margie.
12 on the Cowboys
25 points - Globetrotters 25 points on Flight Time/Big Easy

OK I am assuming because of my tardiness, my rebuy request was thankfully ignored?

Yep. Kinda nice when that bad entry ends up a little too late, eh?

In short, for a while we had both the pound and the dollar. The pound was divided into 20 "sous" and there were 6 pounds in one dollar. So there were 30 "sous" in a quarter. The pound was forgotten but not the expression.
