LAST EDITED ON 03-07-07 AT 09:33 PM (EST)
Amateur mistakes?There were a lot of mistakes this week, which is surprising since all these teams had raced before. You'd think they'd have this down by now. David & Mary ended up making the most mistakes, though, and ended up getting eliminated. Week 3 Results
1st place - Rob/Amber (2x)
2nd place - Uchenna/Joyce (1.5x)
3rd place - Eric/Danielle (1.4x)
4th place - Dustin/Kandice (1.3x)
5th place - Oswald/Danny (1.2x)
6th place - Teri/Ian (1.1x)
7th place - Joe/Bill (.3x)
8th place - Charla/Mirna (.2x)
9th place - David/Mary (0x) Smooth sailing...With Rob & Amber finishing first again, scores were naturally really good this week. The only team that really cost some points were Joe & Bill (.3x) this week. We also had a new entry. Welcome to latecomer Weez to the game.  This week's Greatest Gainer Award goes to FFantasyFX, who climbed 18 ranks this week with a double-up. I narrowly beat out tribephyl (17 ranks), who almost won the GGA two weeks in a row.This week's Riskiest Bet Award goes to bighair, who bet all his points on Uchenna & Joyce, a somewhat unpopular pick. mikey also deserves a shoutout, as he bet on Eric & Danielle, despite the risky previews from last week.

70. Yogi - 10 This is the final week in which the Casino Game will be accepting new players... Therefore, it'll also be the last time everyone will have to wade through the rules below. The Rules1. Each player that joins in Week Four (right now) will receive 5 points to start the game. I'm not going to be handing more points for free later, so don't waste them. For every additional week you join the game late, you start with fewer points, so I suggest you join as soon as you can. 2. Once your points are gone, they're gone. If you lose all of your points, as indicated by the leaderboard, you're out of the game. So be very careful. Busting out of the game, especially early on... Well, it sucks. Big time. 3. Each week, you may choose to bet some of your points on the remaining Amazing Race teams. How many/few points is up to you. Your bets usually will look something like this format... 2 points - Fred/Daphne
2 points - Velma/Shaggy
1 point - Scooby/Scrappy Just make sure you don't overspend your points. Since you only have 5 points right now, you can't bet more that that amount. I don't give out credit cards. If you overspend, you force me to do some "creative accounting" on your picks. And you don't want that. 4. Each individual bet may not exceed the Maximum Individual Bet value. The Maximum Individual Bet tells you the maximum amount of your points you can wager on a single teams. If, during a week, you have more points than the Max Bet, you'll probably have to spread around some of those extra points on different teams. Every week, however, the Maximum Individual Bet value will change, based on player scores. For those of you planning ahead, the final week of play will be No-Limit, in which players can wager however they want. 5. You may bet on as few or as many different teams as you want. If you don't feel comfortable betting on only 1 or 2 teams, spread the points around to 5 or 6 different ones. It's up to you. Just make sure you don't exceed the Max Bet amount on any of them. 6. You don't have to wager all of your points each week, or even play at all. The points you don't use are "banked" and will carry over to the next week without risk. If you're really not feeling it one week, you can completely skip an entry and all of your points will carry over to the following week. 7. All bets must be integers (whole numbers). Those goofy decimals are expensive to exterminate, so don't bring 'em into the Casino. 8. All entries are due prior to showtime, Eastern-Time, based on the RTVWorld.com clock. You can find the clock on the top right corner of every post or at the top of the "Conference" page. In other words, this week, you must enter by Sunday, March 11th, before 8:00 PM. Any entries posted after the deadline will not be counted. 9. Any entry which is edited after the showtime deadline will receive a significant penalty, at my discretion. You can still edit your post before the deadline as many times as you want, mind you. Just don't change your picks after the episode airs. I haven't had any problems with this yet, so we probably won't have to worry about it. The Payout TableHere's the Payout Table for Week Four. It's time for a tiered payout table, I think. Week 3 Payout Table
1st place - 2x
2nd place - 1.9x
3rd place - 1.4x
4th place - 1.3x
5th place - .7x
6th place - .6x
7th place - .1x
8th place - 0xMaximum Individual Bet - 55 points Remember, your individual bets cannot exceed 55 points. For example... If you have 60 points, you can still bet them all, but not on only one team. You'll have to spread 'em around. All-Stars Remaining
