(flip)  Whoa! Hello there. If you can find another Tuba in the $40 column on this next pick Matt, you'll not only have 1 match, but you'll be paid double the cash award attached to it. Where to now? |

And let's see what is behind that $40 on the red box.  $800.  That pays double so Matt you have $1,600 and one match, Kevin still at $750 and 1 match. James, time for you to score! And one new rule, if a player makes a match and has any money left over, it will now carry over, so Matt, you still have $70 left and that will carry over for you. |

All,
Due to some difficulties with my machine at home, I will be off the grid later today.
I'm taking it to Geek Squad to get looked at tomorrow at 3pm, but I will be disconnecting it this afternoon when I get home so it will be ready to go tomorrow.
I'll try to update the threads where I am hosting once more when I get home, if my machine cooperates. I'll try to update things on other threads where I am a contestant either from my work computer or from my son's or my wife's computer when home.
If I am a bit slower than usual to reply to a thread, this is why.
Best,
Bill

Hi gang,
Just a quick status update.
I am on my son's laptop. My tower is with Geek Squad. They said I should get it back by Friday, September 30th. So until then, or sooner depending on when they are able to fix it, I will be on a temporary hosting hiatus, since all of my visuals and question material are on that machine. However, I will be able to continue as a contestant, once a day, possibly twice a day during the week, since I can also access this site from work.
Thank you all for your patience, loyalty and friendship throughout these many years, some dating back to July 2007 when I joined Big Jon's site.
Bill

 This time the code is 26, and who is closest?  By Gosh and by Golly it is you James! Please select a letter in the word MATCH as well as a category. (Since I just now returned today, and since I know James is in the midst of a move, there won't be any strict deadline for now, but I'll check back in a few days and do a courtesy bump if need be.) |

 $80 for you if you get three out of four questions correct James. All true or false answers as you all may recall. Question 1 James with the category "MR. PRESIDENT"... There have been three United States Presidents whose first name was William. |

Actually that is false, there have been four
William Henry Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft and William Jefferson Clinton.
Let's try this one...
The first President to fly in an aircraft while still being President was Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Grover Cleveland and James has $80. (applause)  Not enough for a trip to the board, but a good start for you James. Matt has 70 and Kevin nothing at the moment... New category is...  PLACES. Players, please submit to me via private message your code from 01 to 99. |

This time the code is...  21, and let's see who came the closest...  Whoa! Very close. James, missed by just 1 again. Kevin, the board is yours. Select a letter in MATCH along with a category please. |

 No bonus, but $100 for you if you can answer three out of four correct Kevin. Question 1...category AT THE CASINO... Baccarat is the French word for "Nine". |

True is correct.
For $100 Kevin...
In the game of craps, the odds of rolling an 8 are less than rolling a 6.

The odds are even, and Kevin you have $100. (applause).  Although barely Kevin, $100 IS enough for a try at the board, but you'd only get three picks at best, one per column. Do you want to try for it or build up your account some more? |

Post by koopakid17 on Oct 3, 2016 16:45:13 GMT -5
I don't think $100 will be enough. I'll try to earn more money.
