That makes sense

[JBEX]

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



$4-8 total/race
2 horses max
any combo WP or either alone but 2 min base bet (no $1)

..

That makes sense

I think that covers it pretty well but we got a week to make small changes if we want

[Louisvillekid1]

Thanks j!

[Louisvillekid1]

People argue what’s best for NHC

like what you can do with the same amount of money

is that better?

but in any small sample size the better showing is always gonna WP

but need the option to not bet place or only bet place , fir sure

[Wabashwonders]

I’ll join in the fun. Looking forward to the Belmont meet.

I say as long as the bets fall between 4-8 total do whatever you want 8P only 6P only ..same with win 8W 6W only fine

[JBEX]

2w 6w

2w /3wp

Is it too much to ask SBR to run this, I mean we could obviously do it, but having a couple of mods serve as the officials and keep track would be cool. Am I wrong? LT and others have done a great job with the daily tournaments on here from Thurs-Sun each week. Maybe do something similar with that for the entire Belmont meet and use JBEXs rules that he outlined. This is how you could build this horse forum up more. No other sports going at least for another month or so, gotta take advantage of this time and what better place to do it with the NYRA starting back up. Give the players some incentive like you mentioned lkid. Maybe I'm being unrealistic.

[Louisvillekid1]

Nah that makes perfect sense jelly

its just as important with or without

excellent post

[JBEX]

if it winds up being < 10 people tallies could be in boldface like this... (plays) risk/return...roi

(10) 65/54 ...83%


< 10 would be more manageable in one thread..15 + think will start to get messy

What’s your thoughts on Churchill

[JBEX]

What’s your thoughts on Churchill

I'd be fine adding that..if we started next week churchill would have about 15 days left (I saw they ended 6/27)..belmont goes to 7/12..in the spirit of the rules (1.2 plays/day..2 max) you could have (20 plays ..2 day/max) at churchill over those days and finish the last 10 at belmont ..that's how I would do it but see what the others think

[JBEX]

guys like to give my reasoning for 30 plays

25 racing days..

maybe 5-10 you don't look..

maybe 5 bad weather..

it'll probably be more like an every other day you can make 2 plays situation depending on factors like above

want this to be a best bet kind of conest rather than lots of plays..more interesting and less book work (even though we're all doing our own)


uscphillyguy proposed churchill be added and I gave a format for that in the post above..let me know your thoughts so we can get things together for next wednesday

what i'm talking about here ,just to be clear, is you could do either track early on but 2 day max both tracks combined ..and since churchill will be ending sooner max plays there for the meet would be 20

[JBEX]

my proposal


starts 6/3


belmont (7/12) and churchill contest (6/27).. end dates

30 plays total combined (20 play max churchill)..
2 plays/day max combined..
$4-$8 total race (win place bet, win only, NO JUST PLACE BET.. as long as it's between that amount )
2 horses per race ok (but total bets $4-$8)
$2 min base bet (no $1)
must specify no slop for plays not to count on an off track (good ok)
turf races only good if run on the turf..
no intentionally playing off the turf races..
no odds watching.. plays in at least a half hour before post time
everybody tallies their own... including roi after 5 plays

((5)) 36/32..88.. CO 39.. CHP 2

through 5 plays.. 36 invest/32 return.. roi 88.. cumu odds 39 *.. churchill plays (if made)

*cumulative odds so we get some idea what prices you've been going after.. if you play 2 horses average them ..ex 4-1 and 10-1 odds for that race =7

[JBEX]

also no making up plays (>2/day) if you don't have enough at the end .. you did such and such over 26 plays will be it.. there's no prize anyway

[USCPHILLYGUY]

I’m in either way. Lmk the format

[harthebar]

Sounds like fun. With some awesome competition. Ha ha. In
I just saw this.
