Point 2: Chris's concern about the bomb is absolutely reasonable. I have also spun bombs twice in a row -- once in a 4 question contract, and then in a 5.
Gotta agree with this. I hit $4000 or so; got nailed with a 5 question contract on books w/a bomb, and blew it. Kinda sucked.
While we're on the constructive criticism train, I thought my general knowledge was fairly solid, but in about ten games that I've played, I have survived to the bonus game all of once. Bad luck with low dollar figures? Possibly. Inopportune bombs? Yeah, there's that. But many times I'll be rolling along and come up to something that I've just never heard of, and it's pick-and-pray time.

Since I'm the curious sort, Cory, what did you use as your source for material?

A lot of the material was written from just things I've learned in college, backed up with textbooks I never sold back. Wikipedia was used when sourced with other external, verifiable sources.

For the record, the Phillies won the 2008 World Series. :D

I could be speaking ex-rectum here, but I think the winning cap needs to be lowered. I played over a dozen games and didn't even get past the main game. Highest I ever got was $2,500.

And strangely, in about 8 games, I only spun two bombs.
