    NASCAR Season Long Picks Game - 2013

    Same as last year, we will have a weekly Head 2 Head Picks Game for each race. (in a separate thread each week)

    2 points from each entry will go toward this season long prize pool.

    Prizes will be awarded for three separate 12 race segments.

    1st) 50%
    2nd) 20%
    3rd) 15%
    4th) 10%
    5th) 5%


    Number of correct race winners picked will be the tie breaker. Split points after that.

    Only each player's best 11 results per segment will count for scoring. (so we can miss a week without penalty)



    This thread will be to keep a tally of the leaderboard week to week only.

    There is no payment required here for entry. Just look for the Daytona 500 Picks Game thread in the NASCAR Betting Sub Forum to get started playing.

    Could easily happen with her starting in front of the field. If she gets a poor start just getting down the back straight with cars whooshing past her on either side might take a big effort.

    I almost forgot.

    Does anyone want to do the 100 point buy-in pool again for the first 12 race segment?

    If so send 100 points to this post before the start of the 2nd race of the season.

    Non-pros can send up to 20 points for 20% of the prize. (whatever you have sent by start of 2nd race will count by %)


    If more than 10 people (paying the 100 point entry) want to play we will use the same prizes as regular pool

    1st) 50%
    2nd) 20%
    3rd) 15%
    4th) 10%
    5th) 5%


    If it's less than 10 we'll use 1) 60% 2) 25% 3) 15%

    She's definitely not going to be last with all the start 'n park bums.

    Does getting the pole make it easily to finish last?

    Jimmie went out in a 1st lap crash last year. Early wreck is always a risk here. I would not bet a start n parker comes last.

    I would. There's always a chance of an early crash but I certainly think odds favor start 'n park last place. Friendly wager?

    Danica will not finish below 35th IMO.

    Chances are you are correct, as all other teams will want to get back on track if they can even if way behind.

    How about 50 points on Danica wrecking or not? I take YES and you get NO.

    Daytona Results

    Yet another tough start to the season with Daytona throwing up it's normal surprises.

    Must be the first time that Jimmie Johnson has won a race and had no one pick him!

    If anyone new wants to start playing now, you are at no disadvantage as we drop our worst race result to get the final score.

    9 players in the side pot for 712 points so far. You have until green flag Sunday to join.

    I made a mistake with these percentages. 5th will only pay about 25 points for the regular game.

    I should have used

    1st) 60%
    2nd) 25%
    3rd)15%


    Does anyone object if I change that now?
