Default Dunbar!

I waited till it was over to do this cause he knows I didn't want to jinx him (and it would have!)...

Arletta, Immanuel Kant, Bigrun, Ocala Mike and myself have been his loyal band of cheerleaders but hell... I/we thought all of you should know this and rasie a glass to Dunbar on being one of 8 players who survived ShowVivor at Santa Anita.

Seven left out of 6571.... pretty damned good!

You are incredible, Sir, and I applaud you.

Congrats Dunbar and JR, it really is an accomplishment lasting the whole way.
The website has been updated and something seems terribly wrong with the show payoffs prior to 4/14, at least according to our two surviving contestants who claim to have a payoff of $3.40.

Very strange. I definitely had a 3.40 payoff on cat talk on april 6th. Don't know what's happening. I feel like Al Gore.

It's all screwed up. My $3.40 was on Halfpondarosa on 3/25. Two of the players are listed with a top payoff of $2.10, which is extremely unlikely for 25 picks.

They'll get it straightened out.

It looks like they fixed it. There's a new list posted:

www.santaanita.com

One player has a $5.20 payoff and takes the $3K first place prize. Three of us are next with $3.40 payoffs. I will probably finish at the bottom of that group of 3 with my meager $2.20 2nd tiebreaker. I was hoping the $3.40 would be good enough for 2nd or 3rd, but not quite!

Looks like youre getting paid after all. AT MY EXPENSE !!! LOL! Just recieved e-mail 3 guys tied will split 2nd and 3rd money as tiebreaker only applies to the grand prize winner. That's cool with me. Just to make it all the way is quite an accomplishment. To get paid is really sweet.
