I'll put the odds and winnings of everyone next.

Here are the odds.

H1 (135-1): Than (x1)
H2(18-5): Nat (x9), Adam (x8), Than (x5), Kevin (x4), Kathy (x3)
H3 (0): No bets
H4 (12-10): Sam (x10), Pete (x15), Nat (x6), Adam (x4), Than (x4), Mets (x11), Kevin (x5), Tomcat (x6)
H5 (0): No bets
H6 (135-1): Adam (x1)
H7 (67-1): Kevin (x1), Than (x1)
H8 (1-1): Kevin (x10), Adam (x7), Tomcat (x14), Mets (x9), Sam (x7), Than (x9), Nat (x5), Pete (x5)

Here are the winning chips and garnets gotten by each player. Chips are rounded down.

Pete: 43 chips (4 garnets)
Mets: 42 chips (4 garnets)
Tomcat: 41 chips (4 garnets)
Kevin: 31 chips (3 garnets)
Sam: 29 chips (2 garnets)
Than: 26 chips (2 garnets)
Nat: 23 chips (2 garnets)
Adam: 22 chips (2 garnets)
Kathy: 0 chips

So, with 43 chips, Pete is the winner and gets the token of life. And Kathy is the Death Match candidate. Pete, since you are the solo winner, you get to choose to give the 2nd Token of life to someone else. Once Pete has posted, Kathy will choose someone from the remaining players available to challenge her in the Death Match.

Here are the hints given out to the players as well as the bonus hints.

Hint #1: The horses that finish first and second have higher numbers than the horse that finishes third.

Hint #2: The horse that is leading after round 9 will win the race

Hint #3: The sum of the top 3 horses is 14

Hint #4: H2 will finish before H7 but after H8

Hint #5: H7 will finish before H5 but after H2

Hint #6: H1 is faster than H3

Hint #7: H5 will finish second last

Hint #8: H1 will finish 4th

Hint #9: H1 will finish before H5 but after H8

Bonus Hint #1: The horse that is in 2nd place after round 7 will finish 2nd

Bonus Hint #2: H6 will finish last

Bonus Hint #3: H3 will not be in the top 2

Congrats Pete. I really like what you're doing with your hair today. And is that a new shirt? Looks pretty good. And how about those [insert Pete's favorite sports team]? I'm really impressed with [insert their best player's name].

Once again congratulations on proving you are really smart and really good at this game. A true Genius I'd say.

Why...thank you for those kind words Switza ( you do realise that it's Walter Matthau in the picture?)

Mas , I'd like to give the token of life to Than

Okay. So, Pete and Than both have the tokens of life and can't be chosen for the Death Match.

Before Kathy decides, I will post the number of garnets each person have.

15 garnets - Metsrus

10 garnets - Tomcat

8 garnets - Thanasis

7 garnets - Nat

6 garnets - Pete, Sam, Adam

5 garnets - Kevin

3 garnets - Kathy


Kathy, please choose an opponent for the Death Match asap.

good job, Pete.

Thanks

Good job Pete!

Congrats, Pete!

Good job, Pete!

Congrats Pete! And thanks for the life token!

Hoping Kathy logs in soon. I already inform her thru pm on imdb in the morning and i know she login then. Not sure she read the pm or not though

Is there a time limit for Kathy to pick? It's been nearly 24 hours.

I propose that, should Kathy not log on and in turn get disqualified, her Garnets should be given to the winner of the challenge.....oh wait ,that would be ...me

i have PM her again yest night. She has not logged in IMDb since then. So I will give her until 3 PM EST. If not, I think we will just move on. I will confirm what to do with her garnets then too.

or do you all prefer to wait her out a bit more?

I hate to do this but since Kathy has yet to reply, I sadly have to remove her from the game. It sucks cos of the format of the game where I prefer to leave by the Death Match.

And since she has been removed, the garnets will move on to the winner of the Main Match instead.

I will post the next Main Match but the match will start tonight only.
