Bare Bones

This thread is going to be a bit "bare bones" this week, as I'm going to be away for a lot of this week on vacation. I'll be back on Sunday afternoon, but gotta get this posted in a jiffy.

As a recap, Jordan/Jeff were eliminated for general slowness and bad decision-making.

Week 6 Results
1st place - Louie/Michael (2x)
2nd place - Carol/Brandy (1.5x)
3rd place - Steve/Allie (1.2x)
4th place - Jet/Cord (even)
5th place - Dan/Jordan (.8x)
6th place - Brent/Caite (.5x)
7th place - Jordan/Jeff (0x)

A Mixed Bag

Overall, scores pretty average. Jet/Cord's 4th place finish ended up making a lot of wagers break even, and it also caused a lot of incorrect PAT wagers.

We did have a few people cash in with their (+1) chips on Louie/Michael. Now that's how it's done!

We did have one player bust out of the game, mikey. The PAT bet didn't work out, but it's better to go out in a blaze of glory, right? Thanks for playing the game.

The Greatest Gainer Award goes to qwertypie, who jumped 15 ranks to #10. Very cool.

The Perfect Bet Award goes to both CTgirl and qwertypie, who both doubled their points this week. Awesome!

KwietOne hangs on to the lead, but CTgirl is closing in fast. Also gotta watch out for Yogi and MaxZ's (+3)s going on. Very scary.

(+1) Question
Jet & Cord must be the captains of the gravy train because they use the expressions "Good gravy" and "Oh my gravy" regularly. Do either of them say the word "gravy" in the next episode?

Don't forget the (+1) bonus questions are going on. If you want more (+1)s to use, make sure to answer the question.

Bonus Game - Lucky 7!

If you've played the TAR Casino Game before, you know how this works. The object of this game is to pick two teams whose ranks at the end of the next episode add up to 7. That means you're trying to pick the teams that finish 1st & 6th, 2nd & 5th, or 3rd & 4th.

It doesn't matter what your intent is, just the outcome. If you bet on two teams, expecting them to be 1st & 6th, and then they finish 3rd & 4th, you still win. So there's a dumb luck factor involved too.

Place a wager next to your bonus picks. If the final ranks of the two bonus teams you pick equals 7, then you're a winner. Here's the Payout Table for this game.

Lucky 7 Payout Table
Correct Answer - 5x
Incorrect Answer - 0x

Maximum Bet - 25 points

Remember, if you're going to play Lucky 7, the wager goes on a pair of teams. Like the example...

25 points - Louie/Michael & Brent/Caite

And you may only make one Lucky 7 wager.

Good luck! If there's a scoring dispute while I'm gone, please be good citizens and help out with confirming scores. I'll make any final decisions when I get back, but as a kind of temporary way to help people out.
