Skydiving fake-out!

As a thrill seeker myself, I felt so bad for some of those folks who missed out on the skydiving. I could see how, arriving at that location and seeing the planes and stuff, you'd think the person doing the Roadblock would be doing the skydiving. The producers really pulled a fast one there.

Misa & Maiya were the first team eliminated, coming oh so close to beating the annoying Jersey boys.

Nice Start.

We had 35 entrants this year, which is a pretty darn good number, if I say so myself. By and large, players were generally successful in their first week bets. Most players bumped up quite a few points and any losses certainly weren't game-threatening.

No awards for Week 1, but next week we'll start cranking 'em out.

Only 2 perfect bets this season, as opposed to the 10 from last year. This suggests we may be in for a tumultuous ride in the Casino Game this year...

Still Open for New Players!

Throughout the next three weeks, the TAR Casino Game will be open to new entrants. Players who join this week will receive 15 points to start. For an entire list of rules, check out last week's thread.

Max Individual Bet - 30 points

Max Individual Bets!

Like in previous seasons, this game is going to be a Limit Game. That means that 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 30 point limit.

Now, if you have more than 30 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 30 points.
