Post up , if your interested in the contest with me and Jbex?

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-25-20, 09:58 PM

Should say “next” contest

**JBEX** · 05-25-20, 11:15 PM

some ideas

turf marathon contest (my personal favorite)..

limited opportunities but what's the rush

2yo contest..that should start getting busier soon

turf sprint ..my least favorite but that's just me

belmont dirt route contest ..interesting cause of the 1 turn

**JBEX** · 05-25-20, 11:33 PM

you could combine all categories as they're all kind of out of the norm type races in 1 way or another..leaving oUT bread and butter dirt sprints and middle distance turf races for 3 and up ..just throwing some stuff out there

**JBEX** · 05-25-20, 11:54 PM

I like the belmont dirt route /turf marathon combo..you would just get a sprinkle of races for the latter ..two a day max and grade you're own..I'd say bet size the way we've been doing it to account for big odds plays

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 09:13 AM

I think these categories aren't appealing.. maybe just a belmont meet contest.. 2/day max.. 30 plays total.. over the course of a 25 day meet will make you think about whether to make 2 plays that day or wait .. people score it themselves so not a burden on one person

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 05-26-20, 01:56 PM

I’d be interested depending on the track

guessing belmont would be good ?

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 05:07 PM

None of our horse guys j!

**Jellymancan** · 05-26-20, 05:20 PM

I'd be interested, keeping it simple will probably pull in the most people.

This sounds like a good idea. Pretty straightforward.

I myself like the 30 plays and think 50 is too many.. figure at least 5 days you may not get involved than 40 puts you at 2 /day.. just my opinion and I'm open to whatever's decided..belmont only or not

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 05:45 PM

think 1-2 plays a day makes it more interesting.. pick your spots

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 05:47 PM

Awesome

feel like tiger on his on home course

2 plays a day

WP

$8 Total per race?

your choice how to bet the $8?

or we using exactas like easy did?

i can make any format work

I prefer w/p Tho

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 05:49 PM

Or easier grading may be $10 per race

WP only

2 races/ or 2 horses per day?

like I said I’m down

specific conditions me and you can do j if they don’t wanna play

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 05:50 PM

I think whatever we decide needs to equal amount bet per race

2 horses bet max per race

or just 1 , but no more than 2

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 05:56 PM

I don't like exactas in a contest especially only 30 plays (if that's what we do)..2-4WP with a $6W only bet like we did.. this would be a little fairer to someone picking price horses

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:00 PM

2 horses ok.. would count as 1 race.. $8 max per race so if you want to do 2WP on two horses that's fine.. just suggestions

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:01 PM

The only thing I don’t like is that doesn’t have the the equal $8 each race

yeah exactas one big one wins

ebery race needs equal wager amount

so $6 W (only)

vs a guy playing $2WP on 2 horses is a losing prop

maybe must Spent $8 per race

no more than 2 horses

w/p only

30 plays total

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:02 PM

I really don’t like the 2 horses actually on only 30 plays

stradegy is to play your horse and a bomb

i say $8 per race

only 1 horse per race

max 2 a day

30
plays

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:03 PM

But I can work any format

you guys decide that

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:09 PM

the $6 win only wager is no biggie to me.. could make it$8 or do away with it.. I think the wager should be able to reflect someone chasing a big odds horse.. if I hit a 4-1 @ 4WP and then I want to try for a 20-1 I don't want to have the same amount on that one

**darrell74** · 05-26-20, 06:09 PM

I'm in

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:10 PM

what we've been doing in our contest

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:11 PM

Ok then forget max plays

make it a bank roll

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:17 PM

so ours was 300 figuring 50 plays @ avg 3WP..we could make this 200 bankroll 2-4W..only problem with that is this one ends with the meet while ours could end any time.. I think plays is better than bankroll for this one because of that

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:19 PM

specific number of plays with the same wagering scale we're using would work imo

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:21 PM

Yeah you could have money left and couldn’t bet

j you call it

start the thread when decide ...

Looks like we got 4-5 guys right now

hopefully get that up 8-10

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:22 PM

roi wins it at the end so there's incentive to go less on big prices

**Louisvillekid1** · 05-26-20, 06:22 PM

I just don’t want guys playing

$2WP 20/1
$2WP 20/1

every race trying to hit one

but hey equal opportunity

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:41 PM

OK.. everybody scores their own and maybe every 10 plays do a standings (30 play contest)..

belmont meet (25 days)
30 plays..
2 races /day max..
2-4 WP race ($4 min.. $8 max)
2 horse max/race ($4 min.. $8 max) 2WP on 2 horses ok
repeats ok (play someone else's)
spirit of thing is come up with our own stuff but if there's an agreement ok..
plays in at least a half hour before race.. no tote board decisions

- think turf races should only count if they're run on it.. no playing off the turf races intentionally

- if you specify "no slop" your play won't count on an off track

..

**JBEX** · 05-26-20, 06:51 PM

there's time.. this a good starting point.. can make adjustments
