    SBR Kentucky Derby Contest: May 3rd-4th



    SBR Kentucky Derby Contest

    Sponsored by DraftDay

    How to join: Register here

    Prize-pool

    1st: 1000 betpoints Free Play
    2nd: 500 betpoints Free Play
    3rd: 300 betpoints Free Play
    4th: 150 betpoints Free Play
    5th – 7th : 100 betpoints Free Play
    Bonus: 250 betpoints Free Play to Friday’s leader


    Contest Schedule
    3 races on Friday, May 3 (including the Kentucky Oaks)
    8 races on Saturday, May 4 (ending with the Kentucky Derby)

    * $20 Bankroll for each of the 3 Friday races and first 7 Saturday races
    * $40 Bankroll for the Kentucky Derby itself (final race on Saturday)

    Picks threads for both racing days can be found here:
    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/forum/handicapping-contests/

    * WIN and EXACTA wagers only.
    * $2 minimum on all wagers, including exactas.
    * A maximum of two posts with your wagers are allowed per race - if you make a second post, it must completely replace the wagers in your first post.
    * Posts can be made up until the start of each race. Threads will be locked when the horses are off - post early to avoid being "shut out."

    * Bankroll money is "use it or lose it" - betting funds are deducted as you risk them. Any unrisked bankroll will just be deducted and not added onto winnings.
    * Winning wagers will include both the profit and money risked added onto your winnings. In other words, if you risk $2 on a win bet and it pays $10.00 on the toteboard, the full $10.00 is added to your winnings.

    * You can list one alternate wager for each race in the event of a scratch.
    * If a horse is scratched in your wager and there is not a valid alternate, the wager is a loss and its bankroll cannot be re-used on any other races.
    * Winning order determined by top amounts of winnings achieved over the 12 races of action.


    * All decisions made concerning the contest by SBR are final.

    Sweep My guesstimate is last year someone might have put a race pick in early, than change there mind and repost. Than again on raceday change it again. I know its been a great contest over the past few years, but has to be a pain to grade for Reload. GL! Looking foward to it Thanks Reload And DD!

    Exactly, Noles!

    I set that limit just so we don't have each person adding a post here or there with another play, or replacing a prior play, etc. It gets too hard to grade with a lot of different posts.

    There will be a separate thread open for each race. All you have to do is make one post in each thread with all of your picks for that race.

    Then if for some reason you want to change the picks, you are allowed one additional post that replaces the first post entirely. So let's say a horse gets scratched or the odds shift a lot from where you thought they would be - you can make one more post to replace the original.

    I find it's been a pretty fair way of doing it.

    Yes - non-pros can play. As an FYI, there is an entry fee of five betpoints.

    Only 3 races for Friday. Seems a bit light don't you think? I know we ran more races on Friday last year.

    We've always kept Oaks Friday to three races so there is more focus on Saturday. For the Breeders Cup, we did have all of its Friday races.

    Loader- Check your PM's ....

    Taking a stab here and just going with a $10 ex bx 2-7 in every available contest race and a $20 ex bx 2-7 in the derby. Not going to have time to handicap all races and post in threads. GL guys

    Even though I don't follow horse racing all that much, every year I make sure to tune in to the Triple Crown races. Exciting stuff, especially heard on radio.

    We're in the deep stretch with just the Kentucky Derby itself to go! playersonly69 keeps inching closer to the lead but is still second to Wrigley.

    Will Wrigley hold on? Will someone cash from the back of the pack? Anything possible in the finale with double the bankroll!

    Good luck all!
