October Contest

[mikemca]

Any interest in a contest to kill the time from now until the Breeder's Cup?Can be either 10,25,50,100 points entry.I would prefer at least 25-50 since its a longer contest and I'll add some points to the pool.

I'm thinking a format using $6 W/P bets on Saturdays and the option to bet either $6 W/P or $12 EXACTA other days.

I'm thinking a format using $6 W/P bets on Saturdays and the option to bet either $6 W/P or $12 EXACTA other days.

[BGboothA]

Hell Ya!!! I will throw in some points to the total as well!

I will throw in 50-100

[thezbar]

I can try a new system. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You have add me to the overnight list.

[mikemca]

We'll have to see if we get more interest.Can't see doing it without 8-10 people at least.

Mike dont know if i can play everyday,but will play if thats ok

Me too, Mike, I don't think I have the time to play every day, but I would like to play too. I can contribute points too, but I am not pro so I can only give 2 pts a day. Also, I kinda like the exacta box method used in the last BG contest, I thought that was very good and easy to calculate.

[BGboothA]

Why not have a series?

Each weekend offer a small 25 pt contest. Then add up to overall 100 pointer or something.

Hell of the list above. Lets say you can play any 25 races. Then we ad up those scores.

PM when it starts ,, I am in.

Mike, i won a football handicapping contest called "let it ride" last weekend at Santa anita,
my prize is that i get to place 2k on any horse to win in the 6th race this Sunday October 7th,
i am very interested in any thoughts this thread may have on that race. I have to place the
bet to win only. Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.
