Split Decision Cancelled - Please See Announcement

[billmcdee]

Very well.  Is is higher?












Oh yesh with a Queen!






You control the fate of the next card Kourtney.  Only another Ace or another King will win for you, while an 8, 9, 10, Jack, Queen or King will win for George.

What's your pleasure?

[pathfinder20]

Pass please.

[billmcdee]

Passing the card down, let's see if that was a wise move.















George, the card you received is...




















O an ACE!  That IS a bust!  And the hand goes to Kourtney!





It perhaps is of little consolation to you George, but had Kourtney received that card, he would have won the hand too.

The good news is we have another Ace to start off this hand as our carry over card!




Time for another crap shoot to determine who will win control of the hand.

Kourtney, you know the drill, please select a top suit, a bottom suit and a roll code higher than 0 but lower than 37, and remember again you can select the same suit both times if you wish.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s go with Club on top, hearts on bottom and 19 for the roll.

[billmcdee]

And this crap shoot yields for you Kourtney...







Ten high, 4 low and a roll of a 10, another tie!  That's a winner and another $50!  Wow!






Thus far you can do no wrong it seems Kourtney.  And if you win this hand, it will mean another $750 added to your score, $125 for the hand, $125 more for the win and a $500 Clean Sweep Jackpot as well.


Where do you wish to place the Ace Kourtney?

[billmcdee]

(Incidentally Kourtney's score should be $850 not $875, will adjust it later).

[pathfinder20]

I will take the Ace please.

[billmcdee]

Thank you for your kind patience players and audience.





That Ace belongs to YOU U EWE YOO YOU Kourtney!








The next card for your consideration...















A King.  You could place that in the center or you may pass it down to George, what's your pleasure Kourtney?

[pathfinder20]

I will pass the King this time.

[billmcdee]

Makes sense.

















And now the common card...




















(gasps)  E-gad!  A Queen.  Neither player has a very wide split this time!


Time for our next Hi Lo Toss Up.





The winner of this toss up wins control of the final card of the hand.

Kourtney please select a pair of boxes in the order in which you'd like them to be revealed.  If your first selection is a King or a 2, you'll retain control automatically.

If either selection is the Joker, only the Joker will be revealed and you will retain control as well.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s try 7 and 11.

[billmcdee]

Joker!  (ringing bells)


That means you keep control of the hand automatically Kourtney.





Only another Ace, a King or another Queen will win this hand for you if you keep the card.

Only another Queen or another King will win this hand for George if you pass.

What is your decision Kourtney?

[pathfinder20]

Pass please.

[billmcdee]

Something my uncle once said while he was suffering with kidney stones.













Let us see if this pass was a good move Kourtney.



If so it will mean the game, and a $500 bonus for a Clean Sweep as well!






The card is a....














BUST!  Kourtney you win game one!


(main theme begins to play)





Plus another $125 for winning the game...





$1,600 more for you Kourtney and the lead in this match.

George, nary a penny to your name thus far.

We're going to take a time out and see if we can't change that.

Game 2, after these words of interest from us to you!

[billmcdee]

(fade into applause)






And we have returned.  So far in this match it has been all Kourtney Wilson, $1,600 won already, courtesy of a $500 clean sweep and a $500 instant Ace bonus as well!

Now it's time for game #2.  Players, a reminder, we're still using the same deck of cards, and the 10 of Spades is our "carry over" card from the last game and will be the first card in this new hand of play.

Time for another Crap Shoot to see who gets to control the deck first.

As we left of George, it was your turn at the dice table this time.






George, please select a suit from the top row, a suit from the bottom row and a roll code higher than 0 but lower than 37.

[billmcdee]

(bump for George's Crap Shoot choices)

[billmcdee]

2nd bump for George to play the Crap Shoot game.




George, please select a suit in the top row, a suit in the bottom row, and a roll code higher than 0 but lower than 37.

[bighornbattle]

Both diamond and lucky #24.

[billmcdee]

The range is 11 in the high row and 6 in the low row this time.






Roll a 7, 8, 9 or 10 and score $25 and control of the cards.


Roll a 6 and it's $50 and control.


Roll an 11 and it will mean $75 and control.


But roll a 2, 3, 4, 5 or 12 and it means control of the deck will belong to Kourtney.





And your roll George is a...










six!  That's good for $50 and control!






The 10 is yours to with as you please George.  Do you want it in your hand, Kourtney's hand, or in the center slot?

[bighornbattle]

Pass it please.

[billmcdee]

I must have posted this update in the wrong thread, my apologies.


Next card is...





A 7.  George, you can place that in the center or keep it for yourself.  What's your pleasure?

[bighornbattle]

Center.

[billmcdee]

Would be more fitting if Nels were sitting in Kourtney's seat right now as Kourtney has what I believe to be our first ever 7 10 split.


Nels is a bowler is why I say that.



And this means for you George your card is a...













9!  Two very very narrow splits for our players this time.  Time for a Hi Lo tossup to see who wins control of the final card in this first hand of game 2.






George the 14 cards have been shuffled up and hidden again on our board.  You'll win $500 if your first number picked is the Ace.

If the first box you select is the 2, you'll win control of the cards automatically.

And if either box you select houses the joker, only the joker will be revealed and you will keep control as well.

George, please select a pair of boxes and in the order in which you would like them to be revealed.

[bighornbattle]

12 and 5 for my birthday.

[billmcdee]

Very good.


















And...

















(ringing bells)  You unearthed the Joker George, so that means you keep control automatically!






Another 7, an 8 or another 9 will win this hand for you George.  Another 7, an 8, a 9 or another 10 will win for Kourtney.

George, do you wish to keep the card or pass it?

[bighornbattle]

Pass it.

[billmcdee]

I'd be inclined to do the very same thing.














And you have passed...






















O an 8!  And Kourtney wins the hand!  Wow!






That one hurts I know George because had you kept it, you would have won that hand.  As it is, I dare say you played it right though as you both had very narrow splits.  It's just how the cards fell that time.


That 8 carries over as the first card for this next hand, and Kourtney, it is your turn again to play Crapshoot.





Please select a suit from the top row, a suit from the bottom row, and a roll code higher than 0 but lower than 37.

[pathfinder20]

Let’s go with both spades this time and 3 as my number.

[billmcdee]

That will get you an 8 up top and a 4 down the bottom.














And you roll...













An 8!  That ties so another $50 to you Kourtney plus control of the cards.





And now another 8 to deal with.  Where do you want to place that card Kourtney?

[pathfinder20]

Passing the 8.
