"TAR18 Casino Game - Wk7 Results / Wk8 Entry"
Posted by Jims02 on 04-13-11 at 08:03 PM
LAST EDITED ON 04-13-11 AT 08:04 PM (EST)goes to alemettos, who jumped up a smooth 10 ranks to #26 with a double-up. That is the very definition of awesome-sauce.Scraping By
It amazes me how Kent & Vyxsin get through each week on this season of The Amazing Race. That team might make second-lasting into its own verb, the way they do it. But I guess all you gotta do is at least beat one team each week?
Week 7 Results
1st place - Flight Time/Big Easy (2x)
2nd place - Zev/Justin (1.6x)
3rd place - Kisha/Jen (1.4x)
4th place - Gary/Mallory (.8x)
5th place - Jet/Cord (.7x)
6th place - Kent/Vyxsin (.5x)
7th place - Ron/Christina (0x)Spreading Around the Bets
The Bonus Game had kind of a rough start two weeks ago, with pretty much everyone making the same bets, but it turned out much more interesting this week. There were a lot of varied bets among the players, and there were even 3 ranks where players got double bonuses for being the only correct pickers.
Congrats to samboohoo who not only was the only player to guess Zev/Justin to finish 2nd, but also Gary/Mallory to finish 4th. In addition, FFantasyFX was the only person who had Jet/Cord placing 5th. Each of those bets scored 12x this week. Nicely done!
This week's Greatest Gainer Award
There can really be only one Perfect Bet Award winner, and that is popeave who wagered his last point on Ron/Christina for 7th place, sextupling up to 6 points. Doesn't get more "perfect" than that.

We had a bit of a shake-up in the top spot, with FFantasyFX supplanting Yogi this week. When you get 4 of your 8 bonus bets right (with 1 double), this kind of thing is bound to happen. But it's still a super close race, so it ain't over til it's over.
Week 8 Payout Table Max Individual Bet - 120 points
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.8x
3rd place - .9x
4th place - .7x
5th place - .6x
6th place - 0x
I kinda liked how the uneven payout table went last week. The big game between 2nd and 3rd really forces you to pick your spots carefully.
Here's the Bonus Payout Table for the week.
Bonus Payout Table Max Individual Bet - 15 points
2nd place - 5x
3rd place - 5x
4th place - 5x
5th place - 5x
6th place - 5x
Max Number of Bets - 5
Doubles are still on for Unique Wagers. Each max bet only nets you half of a regular game wager (+60), so a double isn't going to break the game balance too badly.
I've totally jinxed it now. Watch FFantasyFX get doubles on all 5 bonuses now.
TAR17 Teams Remaining
Gary/Mallory
Flight Time/Big Easy
Jet/Cord
Kent/Vyxsin
LaKisha/Jennifer
Zev/Justin
