Let's Have a Do-Over!

As is Casino Game tradition when we have a "To Be Continued" episode, I'm gonna toss out all of last week's wagers. Even though we know Amani/Marcus finished "1st" (so to speak), we have no idea where everyone else placed, so I cannot grade the rest of the wagers.

I'm also throwing out the Clock Game bonus picks, even though we did have an answer (although I didn't bother looking up the right answer). It seems a double-standard of me to say we're throwing out the picks but making a special exception for the bonus game... Especially since I didn't make a note about it in advance.

So this week is a do-over week, except the Bonus Game is going to change (for obvious reasons). Your picks from last week do not carry over to this week, so don't forget to make new picks this week!

A Quote For the Ages

Since the TBC episode makes doing Clock Game impossible for this week, we're swapping in this bonus game. Clock Game will return for next week, though, for those who like to plan ahead. Get those hours and minutes estimations going while watching the end of the episode, you know.

With the Thanksgiving break coming up (and people going on vacation), let's make the bonus game short and sweet. This week, players may wager on which Racer will say the episode title, "Release the Brake!".

Unlike other wagers, this bet is on a single racer since a quote is typically given by an individual (and not the whole team). Therefore, your choices for the bonus game will be:

Andy
Amani
Bill
Cathi
Cindy
Ernie
Jeremy
Marcus
Sandy
Tommy

Bonus Game Payout
Correct Answer - 8x
Incorrect Answer - 0x

Max Bet - 30 points
Number of Guesses You Can Make - 1

If, somehow, more than one person says the quote, then both racers will count as a correct answer. If they trip us up and Phil or a non-racer says it, then all bets score 0x as incorrect answer. I don't know if that's ever happened, however.

TAR19 Teams Remaining
Amani/Marcus
Andy/Tommy
Bill/Cathi
Ernie/Cindy
Jeremy/Sandy

Good luck!

Have a happy thanksgiving! I'm going to hang out with relatives, eat pumpkin pie, and sneak in as much Wii as possible this weekend!
