No Room for Error

Thought it was interesting what Caroline & Jennifer said about how they finished last without making that many mistakes. They were actually right in a lot of ways... They ended up finishing last because they couldn't do the elephant task (because they got to the box last) and just happened to do the paper detour just a little slower than the other paper teams. And that was pretty much it.

Luckily for them, it was non-elimination, so no harm no foul.

Week 5 Results
1st place - Leo/Jamal (2x)
2nd place - Jet/Cord (1.6x)
3rd place - Jessica/John (1.3x)
4th place - Dave/Connor (even)
5th place - Brendan/Rachel (.7x)
6th place - Flight Time/Big Easy (.4x)
7th place - Caroline/Jennifer (0x)

Ignore Away!

This was an interesting week for the ignore feature. For a bunch of players, it ended up being a moot point again. But for several, most notably Dave/Connor bettors, it worked out pretty well. Leo/Jamal were ironically a popular ignore pick, so taking them out of the results worked out for a lot of people.

This week's Greatest Gainer Award goes to a whole bunch of people who moved up 2 ranks this week. Congrats to: Georganna, IanQuentin, taffnic, sarah12345, MzTee, and bbenz.

The Perfect Bet Award goes to michiganlargefan (1.65x), who made a nice Jet/Cord and Dave/Connor wager while ignoring Leo/Jamal. Very nicely done.

michiganlargefan has leapt into the lead with a pretty decent margin. The ignore teams look pretty spread out, so it'll be interesting to see how those lock-outs work out.

Week 7 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.7x
3rd place - 1.4x
4th place - .9x
5th place - .6x
6th place - .4x
7th place - 0x

Max Individual Bet - 270 points
Ignore Price - .4x

Shifted last week's table a little to keep things fresh. We'll see what happens!

Bonus Game - SAME or DIFFERENT

Usually we do this one a little later, but with all these non-elimination legs, this might be the last chance we get for awhile.

In this game, the object is to determine if each of the 7 teams is going to finish in the same rank as last week or in a different one. If you get all 7 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 7 Correct - 30x
At Least 1 Incorrect - 0x

Max Bet - 10 points

Once again, I have no idea what the actual odds are, so I'm going to settle on it being a 30-to-1 shot. For the Final 5 last year, we did 20x and a few players did get it, so it might be worth throwing in the 10 points as a lotto ticket.

Remember, your wager is on the whole set of 7 teams, so it's an all-or-nothing thing. For example, a bonus bet might look like:

Bonus - 10 points

Leo/Jamal - DIFFERENT
Jet/Cord - SAME
Jessica/John - DIFFERENT
Dave/Connor - SAME
Brendan/Rachel - DIFFERENT
Flight Time/Big Easy - SAME
Caroline/Jennifer - DIFFERENT

Heck, you can even vote all 7 SAME or all 7 DIFFERENT if you want. It's up to you!

TAR24 Teams Remaining
Brendon/Rachel
Caroline/Jennifer
Dave/Connor
Flight Time/Big Easy
Jessica/John
Jet/Cord
Leo/Jamal

Good luck!

I've corrected this score mistake.

Everyone else, let me know if you see anything wonky with your scores (these dang ignore teams!) and I'll look into them.

Time for a confession --

I spent about 60 minutes kicking myself and being generally POd last night because I realized (at about 7pm) that I had not posted my Jims Bet.
The Dodger game ended just at 8pm (and not only did I get to watch it thanks to ESPN2, but we WON), so I quickly jumped to CBS --

and was relieved that TAR had been bumped by music awards...

Jims - I've got my score @ 334 points. I think my Ignore team wasn't taken into account, so Flight Time/Big Easy should have given me a .7x payout rather than a .4x payout. If my calculation is wrong, please take any points I bet in excess from my Brendan/Rachel wager.

270 points on Jet/Cord
54 points on Brendan/Rachel

Ignore Dave/Connor

10 points on Same/Different Bonus: All teams different.
