    October Contest

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
