UltimateBet’s Amazing Race
Friday, October 9, 2009 - smokin_aces
At UltimateBet, we enjoy producing Freeroll events that become more than just a really fun free poker tournament. For those of you that have been following the UB Blog or @ultimate_bet on Twitter, you’ve probably taken part in one of our fun events. We’ve recently had:
The Pocket Card Challenge
Twitter Is Our Middle Name
The Delicious Freeroll
The Golden Tweet
Twitter Up For Africa
…to name just a few.
The next phase is the evolution of our recent events. Normally each month we run a Twitter event and a Blog event separately. This time, we’re combining the two events into one, which means TWICE THE PRIZE POOL. It also means twice the fun, twice the memories and twice the poker action. 1st and 2nd place will receive a seat at the 200K GTD and cash prizes will be spread from 3rd place to 45th place.
So, you’re probably wondering what this one is made of. Do you like riddles?……puzzles?……scavenger hunts?…….what about UltimateBet’s Amazing Race? (for those that don’t know, our very own Tiffany Michelle is currently competing on the CBS show The Amazing Race alongside her pal Maria Ho.)
UltimateBet’s Amazing Race requires more than just a password or a Golden Tweet. You’ll need to traverse the web in search of clues that get you closer to solving the Ultimate question. UltimateBet’s Amazing Race happens right here on Wednesday October 28 at 9pm ET. HOW DO I GET MY CHANCE TO PLAY IN ULTIMATEBET’S AMAZING RACE?
Step 1
Click this link and go to UltimateBet’s Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/ultimatebetvideo. Rate 3 video’s on the UltimateBet youtube channel, then try to solve the first clue.
Clue number 1 – 0:30 / 6:58 – How many legs are at Caesar’s table?
Step 2
Go to UltimateBet’s Twitter page at www.twitter.com/ultimate_bet and Follow @ultimate_bet.
You are looking for a specific @ultimate_bet Tweet from a specific day in the recent past. Take the answer to clue number 1 and subtract 3. Now divide this by 3. The answer is the month of the Tweet you need to find. The answer to clue number one is the day. The year is 2009. Some of the posts on this date have links to UB Blog posts.
Clue number 2 – What did UltimateBet discontinue the use of?
Step 3
One of our UltimateBet pros finished 17th in the WSOP Main Event in 2008.
Clue number 3 – What is the “answer to clue number 2″ of this UltimateBet pro?
Step 4
If you were to ask a waiter at a restaurant in London, England for ‘the answer to clue number 3′, what would you receive?
Clue number 4 – The answer to this question is the password to the UltimateBet’s Amazing Race freeroll. With no spaces the answer is 11 characters long.
SPECIAL NOTE: Do not try over and over to enter passwords that you ‘think’ might be right. The game client will lock you out of the tournament if you try too many times with the wrong password. If this happens to you, email support@ultimatebet.com.
GL!

It might be my disability to look thinks up, especialy if it’s hidden in a movie which is just too interesting to even focuss on it. I believe i’ve done everything i could to get the answer and do it right. But I still didnt succeed haha!
It feels a bit lame to just ”contact the support” which I normally always do for even tiny questions that are easier to look up then in this case!

Hi xtallx/recozz,
Since we need to make this fair for everyone, we can’t allow your comments that discuss certain aspects of the scavenger hunt. You gave hints that not everyone had access to. We’d be glad to help you personally though. Send us a Direct Message on twitter but make sure you make it obvious who you are.
Thanks and GL!

Ok wow i got 1-3 done and step number 4 is blowing my mind i am pretty sure i know a lil of 4 just cant find the right saying i guess any more clues
October 22nd, 2009 at 12:14 am
Guys…next time you do a riddle do a little research on your answers. Asking a waiter in Australia or New Zealand would have been the proper clue for the riddle, providing the correct answer. Asking a waiter in London England gives you a totally different but correct answer but not a match for your password. I presented this as vaguely as possible without giving the answer but in all fairness you have to provide the right clues for the answer your looking for.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:06 pm
palehorse777,
Thanks for your thoughts on this. Everyone has an opinion but apparently the over 1000 participants (including yourself) already registered did not share your frustrations. I will definitely keep your comments in mind in the future though. All good points.
Cheers and GL in the tourney!

Aces,
Thanks for the reply. I’m sure more than a few people are scratching their heads convinced they have the right answer only to find out it’s the wrong password. The answer is still there for those who dig a little deeper. All things considered it was still a fun riddle. Thanks for doing these freerolls, we all appreciate your efforts.

Hi boots1418,
I am sorry you’re not a fan of this type of event. There are literally dozens of other freerolls each week that don’t require partaking in this type of fun. Feel free to look in the tourney lobby and you’ll find a huge assortment of tournaments.
Best of luck!

Lol. didn’t even need all 4 steps. Was fun, til i found out the answer to clue two which just made getting the answer too easy. Make it more challenging =P. Thanks for the good fun though.

October 26th, 2009 at 8:54 am

October 26th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
If you guys are good at math you should have no trouble solving the riddle. Basic problem solving skills are all thats needed.
October 27th, 2009 at 5:05 am

October 28th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
meh… prolly took me 30 mins… it was so obvious so i feel bad for my brain
October 28th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
Ok, so now it might be impossible to do the riddle if Twitter website functions are down. Can anyone else give a better hint, or just the answer!?
October 28th, 2009 at 3:54 pm
Hi Option2Raise,
Twitter was down but it seems to be back up now.

October 28th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
I guess people didn’t bother reading what I wrote. Could save them a heck alot of time. Took me..ohh 1 minute to search up
one of the keywords in a clue, a minute to look up the answer, and another minute to get the right spelling for the password.
October 28th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
@Optioin2Raise :
It wouldn’t be fair to give out the answer, you should know that. Besides, the less the people, the better the odds. If I were conniving, I wouldn’t even put any clues down.
Regardless, gl on your quest for the passwords people.
Gl in the tourney as well.

I WAS WAY OF WITH THE PASSWORD
I THOUGT IT HAD TO DO WITH TIFFINEYS NICK NAME THAT WAS GIVEN TO HER
October 29th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
WAY OFF
October 29th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
boots1418,
It definitely had to do with Tiffany’s nickname, Hot Chips.
Can anyone out there lend boots1418 a hand and make it clear?
Thanks
Aces
October 29th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
If you ask a waiter in London england for “hotChips” you would be given fisn n chips. If you ask for “hotchips” in Australia or New Zealand you get “frenchfries”. That was the only confusing part for me. The answer was a little off.
October 30th, 2009 at 12:33 am
Well the way that I found the password was I skipped to clue number 2. “What did UltimateBet discontinue the use of?”
Googled that, and the second link said clearly “UltimateBet discontinues use of NICKNAMES”
Then you just had to google who the winner of the WSOP on the year specified, who was Tiffany. Then search for her nickname.
Turned out to be Hot Chips. And if you didn’t know what hot chips could mean if asked for in London, then you need to work on your vocabulary. chips = fries. 11 letter password = frenchfries.
TADA. Told you that you didn’t need all the clues/steps.
