That was sure a huge Whammy loss for Seth, he obviously went one too many times, but 25 grand is still pretty decent, especially back then.

Boy...Seth's whammy hit was a killer. It took him 39 spins spanning his two victories until the whammy came at a bad time in his 3rd game. His momentum completely got stalled out and ended up giving the game away to Pat. Ultimately, picked a bad time to whammy, especially when his challengers got hot on the buzzer.

Nearly half of the cumulative second Home Player Sweepstakes winnings have come from the last third or so of the days - at just over $24,000 in total given away, just under $12,000 of that has come ever since Robin hit $3,000 + a Spin with her HPS last week, and from the days since then.

Can't find anything on Pat Bikiza (sp?).. guessing he was on a farm team or a brief call up to the Twins.

Was Seth right taking a chance like that? he shouldve passed

[@Hawkwing4567]

Almost $4,000 ahead with 3 spins? And an average of about $1,333 per spin? I would probably think it would be a good idea. With lots of squares that could allow Pat to regain the lead and best the $1,333 per spin, I don't think Seth would consider the kind of lead he has to be "comfortable".

[@michaelj.kerkau1625]

Yeah...he was in basically the worst kind of competitive position, with instant paths to victory or defeat no matter which way he went. We saw what happened by taking the chance himself, but passing would have left Pat with a very reachable path to victory as well. If he'd had two spins left instead of three, passing would have left him with better odds to hold on.
