"TAR18 Casino Game - Wk9 Results / Wk10 Entry"
Posted by Jims02 on 04-27-11 at 11:38 PM
goes to Snidget, who climbed 10 ranks this week. And considering Snidget climbed another 10 last week, obviously this is a player to watch. Nicely done. Now share some of your inside knowledge with the rest of us.A Mean U-Turn
Compared to the last time they had a U-Turn this season (when Jaime/Cara and Globetrotters were U-Turned), this Detour was much more hardcore. Being U-Turned basically means that you would have to eat all that fondue... And given Zev/Justin's reactions, that's a pretty tall order.
Week 9 Results
1st place - Zev/Justin (2x)
2nd place - Kisha/Jen (1.5x)
3rd place - Kent/Vyxsin (1.2x)
4th place - Gary/Mallory (.9x)
5th place - Flight Time/Big Easy (.4x)
6th place - Jet/Cord (0x)All Over the Place
It was an interesting week for scoring. It was one of those weeks where there was no real consensus among the players. There were some people who were sour on Zev/Justin, there were others down on Kisha/Jen, and some even were down on the Globetrotters (which was the "right" answer).
Obviously, Kent/Vyxsin's 3rd place finish and the Globetrotters' slide to 5th was the most unexpected, as neither garnered a Bonus Wager this week.
Unfortunately, the cowboys' departure did knock out one more player from the game, MzTee. You went for broke and it didn't work out, but you can always say that you went for it! Thanks for playing, MzTee.
This week's Greatest Gainer Award
The Perfect Bet Award goes to Scuba Steve (2.3x) who made nice regular/bonus wagers. Also, Snidget had a nice double-up. I seem to be calling both of your names a lot in this category.

A bit of a shake-up in the top spots this week, as KwietOne jumps into the lead. It's still an insanely close race for the lead. Consider the fact that ARNutz went 1.26x this past week when everyone else went around 1.1x, and that .15x caused a climb from 6th place to 2nd. Every .1x you gain is really going to count!
Week 10 Payout Table Max Individual Bet - 235 points
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.7x
3rd place - .8x
4th place - .5x
5th place - 0x
The max bet almost doubled this week. It's weird when the Mr. Median Player (Scuba Steve this week) has such a big point lead over the next player in the rankings. Sometimes the numbers just end up that way.
Here's the Bonus Payout Table for the week.
Bonus Payout Table Max Individual Bet - 40 points
2nd place - 4x
3rd place - 4x
4th place - 4x
5th place - 4x
Max Number of Bets - 4
Doubles are still on for Unique Wagers. Let's see if someone can nab one this week.

One More Note On Bonuses
Saw a few incorrect wagers on the bonus game last week. Don't forget that 1) there's no 1st place wager, and 2) there's a limit on how many bonus wagers you can make!
If I see a 1st place wager, it's easy enough for me to not count that wager and move on to the other ones... But with the ones that break the limit, I have to toss out the whole bunch. So be sure you don't go crazy with them. 
Good luck!
Oops - sorry about the overzealous bonus bets! 235 Zev/Justin Bonus 10x each 2nd Gary/Mallory BANK the 3 points

LAST EDITED ON 05-01-11 AT 01:27 AM (EST) 235 on Zev/Justin 38 on Globetrotters to finish 3rd Bonus All 5 points on Kisha and Jen.
Can i just ask This is not the first time iv seen it but this last episode was really bad in that Zev was the only one apart from Jet that actually did the bike thing correct. Yes i agree at times some may have to work together but this was so outrageous I really thought Phil might have imposed some sort of penalty or something I mean Zev did it then then one of the Girls overheard him and got it right Than a short time later they told flight time who then told Gary Then im not sure if Vyxsin over heard or not But Jet who had to do it again and then eat the cheese after that, To me It was cheating and when the prize is 1,000,000 then im sure this should not be allowed shurly the cowboys who i admit i did like would have been very disappointed and mad at how and why they went out because at least 3 more should have had to redo the bike test and at least two of them was behind the cowboys. Andy 1st place - Zev/Justin (2x) Kisha & Jen - 40 Bonus Bonus - 40 points each 2nd - Gary/Mallory Yo, Jims! Your cashier didn't credit my correctly placed 4th place bet on Gary/Mallory last week! Before I bring in the Gaming Commission, an unlimited supply of complimentary Snapples while I'm at the tables would be nice. A complimentary Casino Pit Stop penthouse suite during my stay here would be even better! 18. cahaya - 108 All bonus bets this week: 27 on Gary/Mallory 2nd I'm actually kind of surprised you can actually keep track of all these scores, so no prob! But either way, you're right about the points. Sorry about that. 235 - Zev/Justin Bonus: 40 - Gary/Mallory - 2nd 10 on Gary & Mallory to finish 2nd 32 on Zev and Justin Bonus: 8 on Kent-Vixen to finish last chiubakka 94pts 40 pts Zev/Justin bonus 10 pts Kent/Vyxsin 4th place Bonus - Bonus Bet 235 - Zev/Justin Bonus: 40 - Gary/Mallory - 2nd 235 points: Zev/Justin Bonus
I'm banking the rest. ...Unfortunately, I have absolutely no clue this week. Just gotta go on intuition. Anyway, 822 points to play. 235 points - Gary/Mallory Bonus - 40 points on the following: 2nd place - Kisha/Jen That's just me hedging. I feel like they're a good bet this week, but there's something nagging at me that it's a bad idea. It's weird. 6. beau_30 673 235 on Gary/Mallory

Well, uh, I guess I have to go for it this week. Since I gotta post my pick publicly next week, my best chance of controlling my destiny is to go into the final in 1st place.
235 points - Kisha/Jen
192 points - Zev/Justin
3rd place - Kent/Vyxsin
4th place - Globetrotters
5th place - Zev/Justin
I always tend to fall apart in the second-to-last week. One of these years, I'm finally going to hit that big payday and catapault into 1st.

Are you risking to loose 192 points on Zev/Justin for 120 Points? I just find it interesting.

After deciding to go 3 bets, I thought it would be wise to hedge the third one, but after looking over other bets, I kinda wish I hedged Kisha/Jen. I might be rolling the dice a little too hard.
