Results-The $301K Spoilers Suck FPG for 02/24/2012

[FPGWillyT]

I realize now what I should have done was have people tell me when they submitted their picks to tell me WHERE they would have placed Road and Most and how they would have predicted them just to see where thing swould have been payed out.  I'm almost certain (and please don't reply to tell me you would have done this) that no one would have slotted 2nd and I GUARANTEE NO ONE WOULD HAVE DARED slotted Road anywhere but 1st and most likely only Gavazzi would have had it for the W.

So that being said, there were still four games to be played.  Some of them were actually locks IMO (there wasn't a timed game all week which made the overdue Bonkers a lock) and some of them not so much.

Someone won, who did I wonder?

In 3rd place this week, scoring a nice 6 MG / 20 CP, only needing two correct selections, Bonkers rS/rR
and Dubba rS/wR was

Chatroom regular DJTorgo!!!

To the rest of us go the spoils of one of the weakest weekly FPG totals on record.  But considering only 6 games were outright won all week, that's not all that bad huh?

Enjoy your weekend!

BUT HOLLLDDDDDD IT!!

A one time error was made to one person's scoring that affect the rankings, especially to 3rd place.  Congrats on that should go to vadernader!  Sorry bout that!

[Wayoshi]

Well, both my backups ended up getting in and avoided a wipeout, so yay to that...

[noahproblem]

FWIW, I probably would have slotted Most 3rd for a win.

I actually still would have put Grand and Plinko on my list even without the wildcards - i really thought Mike might just use a "special episode" to pull a fast one and give us 2 cash games in one day. Oh, well, at least he didn't throw Bag in there (though I did actually consider putting it in as a third cash game, before deciding not to put all my eggs into that basket).

The only real monkey wrench for me was Bonus - Bonkers and Double were logical picks which I gambled on not showing up today.

Congrats to the winners.

[vadernader]

Didn't I get more than 6CP?

1. CHECK-OUT (FOR A CAR) - L (1)
2. DANGER PRICE - L (2)
3. BONKERS - W (3)
4. DOUBLE PRICES - L (4)
5. PLINKO - W (5)
6. HI LO (FOR A CAR) - L (6)

I count 22 ((2 * 3) + (4 * 4)).

Also, I would have slotted G-R L 1st and M.E. 2nd, That's why my crazy picks were slots 1 & 2

[JokerFan]

I can't believe I made the mistake of selecting Easy as 123 as one of my picks.  I knew that Most Expensive was being played and it is a rare incident that 2 three-prize games are played in the same episode (if it has ever happened).

[therealcu2010]

I'm really surprised Borko didn't show up...oh well. I'll certainly take third.

Yup...you are correct..#@^%!#**

[tpirfan28]

Bonus.  Friggin' Bonus.

[Punchboard91]

Is "Borko" Plinko?

I figured Plinko would show up, but no other GP games besides Grand were due....so I threw that in...yay.

What's "due" hasn't mattered in 4 weeks.

I get the need budget wise to not play Road, Strikes or Play.  But good God does Any need to go on a mini?

Have you noticed the only car won this week was on the final segment of the week? Right now A# is being replaced by these non-car fails.

[stardf29]

Eh... maybe it was a bit much to expect people to actually win pricing games...

(Bonkers in particular totally should have been won...)

[BRB_TheFireball]

I'm really surprised Borko didn't show up

Even though Grand was clearly more due than Plinko, I didn't think that there was any way that Plinko would be left out of the lineup of a special episode.  But given how Mike has been desperate lately to force more losses, I should've suspected that he would continue to avoid any PG where somebody could luck into a big win (Plinko and A#) and replace them with PGs where he has control the outcome (Grand and Bonus).

I'm sorry but I very much beg to differ.  As for Any Number, that is very much controllable on many many levels.  Plinko too is very much controllable and all you need to remember about that is how horrible the SP setups have been in the past.
