6 point contest. for everyone
Place a $2 W/P bet on every race along with a best bet pick that will be double.Post alternate in case of scratches.If both picks scratch you get the post time fave. Coupled entries, if you do not make it clear you only want one part of entry then you get them both ex 1a would be for 1a only 1e would be for both 1,1a. All plays must be posted before off time of 1st race. Everyone that is participating in the horse contest will be invited to a sports contest. You must join the sports contest to put your points in the pool. Do not make a sports contest pick. REPEAT DO NOT MAKE A SPORTS CONTEST PICK

To be honest, I don't really care, just a way to start my post.

mark, this was most certainly a mathematical error by tony.

[marksinger]

Jerm, will you please leave the forum and bother somebody else. Please???

[marksinger]

I cant believe Tony puts up with your crap. Really.
This forum was nice until you poisoned it.

[marksinger]

I read your other posts and you have a history of insulting people. I'm sure you have alot of friends. Not!!!

[Jerm3462]

I cant believe Tony puts up with your crap. Really. .

Winning cures everything, Mark

[marksinger]

Not really. You're insulting and immature. Has nothing to do with horseracing.

Some people find you entertaining. I'm not one of them.

He keeps telling me he isn't a troll and to think I was just starting to believe him.

For some reason Tony likes the ratings.I don't understand why either





As for the "Ratings" they started as a self serving way to promote himself as the best handicapper in the contests after 2 or 3 days of playing because he didn't win and wanted recognition.Anyway who cares they are about as valid as the news in the National Inquirer.Just scroll past them.

[TonyP]

Glad to see you back Poppa Catfish.

Mike, those +/- numbers are about as valid as it gets. Yea, ignore the comments...fine. But those figures are spot on. your skills are lacking buddy.

And I'm in 4th place, you don't hear me crying

[joeyp1222]

a good reason i dont come here, i dont need the ball busting and insults hope jerm dont spread his germs lol enjiy the contests

[BuckeyeT]

I use to like playing these contests when i signed up a few months ago but it seems this Jerm clown has dragged Tony's contest down.

Ratings or not Jerm is a parasite to these contests now.

Sorry Tony but this use to be a friendly little contest until Jerm showed up.

[mikemca]

I Posted this in my thread before you were even in the picture.


"Thx it was fun....I used to post picks just about everyday but it starts to burn you out because the amount of time it takes to handicap a card properly.Now I mostly just post on weekends and big races.I do play in the contests that the forum run almost every day but I am usually just messing around and wouldn't advise anyone to follow my picks on there.If I put a lot of effort into a card I will post it in this thread".




So explain to me how the +/- numbers are valid when most of the time I am just picking horses by their odds without capping at all. I'm sure there are a few other people that just play for fun also.



Just pretend for a second that you wager hundreds of dollars in a day.How seriously would you take a 6 point contest with no monetary value?

[BBROBOZO]

Mike said it correctly , scroll pass or ignore jerm's postings if it bothers you .
I could never be bothered by a person like jerm .
I've seen serveral of is ilk in my lifetime.
I get amazed at reading his post for the obvious reason that he attempts to amaze himself.
You know that it's very possible that jerm thinks of himself as the next great storyteller , another Fucxing MARK TWAIN !

[TonyP]

These Rankings are contest rankings and do not reflect how you play for real money. We have to make picks on races and tracks we proly would not play for real money. Most are going to take a price horse in the contest not necessarily trying to pick the actual winner. Again these do not reflect how we do as a gambler for real money. You can be the worlds best capper and lose if your not a good gambler. Most will not use who they pick in the contest on top or for the win with real money and we all know this so I dont know why everyone gets so upset over jerms power rankings.

Tony its not the rankings that is the bother..its the smartass remarks he makes when someone is not doing good or had a bad day.

Like this one...#14 (16) Ryates32- Survives on hamburger helper, dollar menus, and hopes and dreams. (-$45.60)

Stuff like that is uncalled for.

Hi guys.

Just a reminder that if you don't want to read the posts of someone else, you can simply edit your settings and add someone to your ignore list. That way, their posts will no longer be visible to you.

I will say though that someone reported 5+ posts of Jerm's today and I went through each one. He is not violating any of the forum guidelines. He's not being abusive, he's not making personal attacks, he's not trolling, etc... In fact, several people are engaging with him which right there kills the definition of a troll. You may not see value in what he posts or find him humorous at all, but this is an open forum. Unless he violates one of SBR's posting guidelines, he's free to carry on as he is. Again, simply add him to your ignore list if you truly want to eliminate him from your forum experience. Best of luck with your bets

[zebra58]

guess nothing wrong with keeping score although i think it would be good to start anew each monday (today)
might not have dug myself such a deep hole

still my goal is to have the best daily score & win the points pool for that day no reason for anyone to be on edge or take this contest seriously

also for tony & mike i know you guys do a great job & do all the heavy lifting of grading the contests but the daily winner should have maybe 2 hours to select the next contest track if they don't give a track then you pk one (gives the winner the advantage they deserve until beaten)

[marksinger]

Personally I think Jerms remarks ARE INSULTING but the forum doesnt it that way. Insults ARE ABUSIVE.
If I were a moderator of a forum he's be banned but that's not the way it is. Guess we have to ignore him. Just my thoughts.

Guys and Girls please. Insults are abuse and if he is writing your name and saying not nice things about you, that is a personal attack. He is not going to ruin this for me though, so I will just ignore him. I think all you guys are great with your picks, so please don't leave because of the germ that has spread gloom over our forum. Now lets pick some horses!

That was what I was going to do is let the daily winner start selecting the track for the next day contest and if they did not want to we would select one.
