    belmont/churchil limited plays contest
    think this is a good format so get it started



    starts 6/3


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

    30 races total combined (20 race max churchill)..

    2 races/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

    please boldface this so easy to find scores

    through 5 races.. 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



    if you don't think you can participate enough post anyway. .to me the big part of this is giving people the opportunity to post their best bets rather than who wins the contest..just keep track of what you do as in above example

              yeah going to give it a look tomorrow.. have a hunch finding a best bet (or two) will be challenging

                ok.. I'll get it started early (know a day ahead lol)

                belmont R7

                #4 bronze lion (10-1) 4W
                #7 brunate (20-1) 2WP

                no slop either


                a horse can be used by more than one person.. don't want to prevent someone from taking a horse they would have played

                  R4 #7 Moneymeister $4w
                  R7 #9 Lorenzen $4w

                  Curious, I read that these races are on dirt. Is that okay?

                    yes darrell..only thing is if you don't want them to count on an off track (slop or mud) then just put "no slop"

                      I’ll be in also. Just a clarification question. We can bet 2 horses per race and 2 races a day, so we can technically play up to 4 horses a day as long as we stay within the $4 minimum $8 maximum total bet per race?

                        correct ..just keep in mind the 30 race limit for the duration of the contest..maybe you pass on something you're middle of the road about to wait for a better play..admittedly for me that's tough to do because it's usually a gray area decision but that's part of what makes it challenging

                          Thanks. Not something I would do much if at all, just wanted to be sure I understood correctly.

                                                      no slop either


                                                      a horse can be used by more than one person.. don't want to prevent someone from taking a horse they would have played

                                                      that 77-1 going to do a number on my avg odds lol

                                                      ** not necessary to do churchill plays (CHP) if you don't make any.. just putting it up as a reminder

                                                          this way would be better darrell..at the end of the contest winner will be decided by roi so need to know risk/return..
                                                          (I should have stated this in rules)
                                                          you played 2 races so below would be good..other stuff like I have in mine not necessary unless you play churchill which I've made a 20 race maximum
