Betting for the season finale is now closed, and the final odds have been
calculated. I'm not surprised that J.T. is the favorite among the field,
but the real surprise is Erinn got a six-figure bet and Stephen didn't. As
a result, she's been figured at 3:1 while Stephen ended up at 26:1. Six
players went all-in, while five saved some chips for cab fare. In Ar Q's
case, that must be one expensive cab. :-D

Each of the final four got some amount of chips on him/her, but the pot of
about 620,000 chips that D-W and Mrs. Clean have built means this finish
rides and J.T. and Stephen. If they are the final two, Dubya wins the
contest. If either ends up on the jury, it's Mrs. Clean's game. And now
that all bets are down, we can all watch the action from the comfort of the
buffet. ;-)

CHIP STANDINGS (best viewed in fixed-pitch font):

I suppose I could have been more obvious that I was placing a bet. I
don't think I have a chance of winning since my bet will change the
odds on Stephen winning, but hey.. if you want to let me place a
43,340 chip bet on Stephen winning at 25:1 odds I'll be happy. ;)
