My in Las Vegas - Game 7

[Fippy]

500 pascal FTD.
500 Hattu FTD
2000 Elizabeth 1st.

Still not worked this out but done the above. English never win but underdogs all the way.

+700 means x7 etc..so you can win 3500 on Pacal or Hatty FTD, and 10000 if Lizzy wins at +500 or 2000x5.

At least this time I won't leave empty-handed!

To win:
Cathy 250
Pacal 250
Lizzy 250
Freddy 250
Monty 250
Hatty 250

Second:
Cathy 250
Pacal 250
Lizzy 250
Freddy 250
Monty 250
Hatty 250

Good luck
Wait..do you need it

 

[NickGabben]

I will probably have less coming out than I had going in anyway

I think this is only true if Cathy / Pacal finish 1/2.

The bank is generous here!

That's what it'll be then! No need for anyone to watch today.

I'm about to go on holiday for the weekend, haven't watched the preview or anything so wild shot:-

30,000 on Culture
2,000 on Cathy to win
500 on Cathy FTD

 

[Fippy]

Still time to reconsider lol

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

Still time to reconsider lol

Non, je ne regrette rien!

250 Pacal first
1,900 Hatshepsut first
750 Montezuma first

950 Hatshepsut second
1,550 Montezuma second

950 Catherine first-to-die

600 Cultural
1,250 Diplomatic

I won't be on holiday, but my eyes will be on Philippe-Chatrier for the day, so do keep me updated on how Game 7 unfolds!

 

[Fippy]

We will have to reset balances before the playoffs
Monty and other big underdogs give so much even if peoples just put something like 2000 on them.
Those who start new can never catch up.

 

[lymond]

regular season winner and playoff winner sounds cool

 

[Fippy]

Yup and i think it also makes next game more exciting.
Can Kai defend his first place? (just assuming he leads now from what i saw)

 

[Fippy]

[lymond]

Hey Kait! May I borrow $5?

 

[Plains-Cow]

Live by the cow, die by the cow.

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

30,000 on Culture
2,000 on Cathy to win
500 on Cathy FTD

Noble Zarkon: 100

I didn't realize we had a true Jeopardy wager in our midst!

 

[Kaitzilla]

The big bets on Hatty and Culture missed by inches.

I totally misread her for game 7.

Hatty legit had it in the bag. I blame Elizabeth for collapsing so fast and giving Monty all that land. Hey, it just goes to show you though that Montezuma earned his win by wrestling his one weakness: patience.

 

[Fippy]

Monty had something to proof..i told Lymond he's not worse than Alex etc.

 

[Saxo Grammaticus]

My tests showed that Hatshepsut was more likely to win by Domination, and then maybe a toss-up between Spaceship and Cultural. That dynamic resulted from Elizabeth taking nearly every wonder and religion, and Hatshepsut being left with opportunities to wipe out the villains in 1v1s. More than anything/anyone else, she reliably took second place, so I am a little disappointed she couldn't get 1-2 points at least!

I do think Montezuma needed the points almost as badly as Hatshepsut, but winning with Pacal came as a surprise. I only had two games where they even survived to the end together, and in the first Pacal won with Catherine in second. Reinforces the notion that second is almost always up for grabs. In the other game, Catherine was first to die on T243, and Elizabeth won Diplomatic(!) twenty turns later before the Aztec-Maya front resolved. The variance on some of these games is just wild...
