[JBEX]

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

[JBEX]

the response is overwhelming anybody want to do this in it's current form

[JBEX]

I will be doing this even if it's just me.. hopefully a few others will participate.. starts wednesday

[Louisvillekid1]

in

[JBEX]

[Louisvillekid1]

Tell me about it

gonna be a great meet

[JBEX]

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

[JBEX]

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

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

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"

[Wabashwonders]

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 problem..glad you're aboard

[JBEX]

no need to update every day if you can't..every 3 -5 races is fine..would like it shown in boldface like the example in post 1..this way easy to find people's scores..thank you

[BOA12]

[Jellymancan]

Thanks.

[JBEX]

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

belmont R7

#4 bronze lion (10-1) 4W.. 4th @ 9-1
#7 brunate (20-1) 2WP... 5th @ 77-1 (13 horse field)

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

((1)) 8/0..00..CO 43*..CHP 0**


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

*9+77/2 =43 (cumulative odds) avg because 2 horses

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

[darrell74]

​0-2 -$8

[JBEX]

​0-2 -$8

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

((2)) 8/0

[BOA12]

(3) 8/9.40 Not sure what else to do here JBEX

[JBEX]

(3) 8/9.40 Not sure what else to do here JBEX

2 races you played

R3 4.70/2.60 4XX (assuming that's WP) 14.60
R10 4.20 place 2XX.. 4.20
lost other 2XX

((2)) 16/18.80..117 (meaning +17% but just express like that.. 117)... CHP 0
18.80/16 =1.17 then just eliminate the decimal 117

((2)) 16/18.80..117..CHP 0



((2)) because it's by races and not plays

rest of the stuff (cumulative odds and churchill plays) don't worry about unless you're regularly playing churchill (CHP) for contest plays.. 20 race max there


if I did that wrong let me know but looks like you invested 16 over the 2 races and got back 18.80

[JBEX]

belmont R10 #1 towering gaze (6-1) 3WP
churchill R9 #8 greenback (6-1) 3WP.. no slop

Not what I did. Won't write picks like that anymore, way I did it when working for the book in the 90's. R3 #2 $4 win 4.70 +9.40 R10 #6 $2 Win #11 $2Win. Out. (2) 8/9.40 Is this correct.

[BOA12]

BEL R1 #5 $2win $2 place R2 #14 $2 Win $2 place. Bet $8. Bol to all heading to OTB to "bombs away".

gotcha.. yes that's correct
