Everyone grades their own action and I will run the tally. Just be clear when you are done playing for the day.

I need a risk/return number for that specific day only from your action. Then I will run the tally for that day.

Will run the game with at least one other player but 5-7 Max. Thank you.

Sent out PM's to the players who played last game to see if they may be interested again.

[Easy-Rider 66]

for exacta increment $2 is the max but for example a 3 horse box costing $12 would suffice.

[harthebar]

Sounds good

[Easy-Rider 66]

Currently we Have 4 Confirmed Players. Waiting on the Jellyman to make a decision. BOA12 who played last game is holding off. Do me a favor Gentlemen and read over the guidelines again before we commence. It's not complicated but just to Make sure you understand the parameters. Any questions hit me back. See you all this weekend. THX and Good Luck.

[Easy-Rider 66]

If U have room for one more

ok Hawk you are confirmed. good deal. Please read over the guidelines in Post #1 carefully and hit me back with any questions you may have. I need a risk/return figure each day you play just for the day's action. I will run the ongoing total. THX and good luck.

[Easy-Rider 66]

New Tally order:

Hart
G&T
Pigpen
Hawk
EZ


Basically have room for 1 more player. Hit me back by 2/9 if anyone else wants in? THX.

[mrginandtonic]

Hey, EZ, just thought of something, since $30 CAP per race, I assume if I bet on the DD, it will only count towards the first leg CAP?

see what you mean. I guess so. May be a bit confusing but let's run it that way. Thx for the heads up.

[Easy-Rider 66]

One more thing there is no Min or Max limit each day you play. Play when you want to. But by 4/30 the game shuts down whether we have all used our whole 5K or not. All plays to be posted in this thread as well. THX.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Handicapping the Field Here:

Hart: The Captain. Might be the favorite with Jelly on the pine. Coming off a sub par effort from him last summer. Look for a big rebound.
G&T: Solid capper. Also coming off a sub par effort in his recent thread. Look out.
Pigpen: An Oaklawn player so I assume we will see plenty of plays from there. Solid writeups on the game.
Hawk: The wildcard. Have not really seen him post many plays so not sure what to expect.
EZ: Took off a majority of last 5 months to concentrate on football. Also coming off a poor effort last game. Hope for better results this time.

[Pigpen]

Max $2 Increment on all exacta plays

This is the only rule that I need just a bit more on. Are you saying we can bet up to $30 on an exacta but must use even number wager amounts.....2, 4, 6....... up to 30?

Thx for the question Pigpen. Any ex you play must be in increments of $1 to $2. So if you want to you can Play a 4 horse $2 ex box costing $24. Or a 3 horse $2 ex box costing $12. you can play Two $2 ex 3 horse boxes costing $12 each or $24. so the increment is Max $2. any more questions hit me back. Hope that makes sense, THX.

[Easy-Rider 66]

one more thing to prevent circumventing the spirit of the ex rule if you play two $2 3 horse ex boxes you have to have at least 4 different horses in both ex combined so 1/2/3 and 3/4/5 would suffice,

[Pigpen]

I think I have it now. $2 is the max. we can bet on each individual wager in a box or part wheel or even a cold exacta. Example: 2/563 part wheel for $2 max. computes to a total wager of $6. We are not allowed to for instance place a $30 cold exacta. If this is not correct you may have to educate me. Thanks EZ.

[Pigpen]

Also do you need me to shoot you 500 points to hold for the winner?

correct $1 to $2 increment is the most you can wager on any type of EX.

NO honor system here. we will go that route. THX

Perfect, one last question, are the increments the same on doubles? If not what is the limit? Thanks EZ and I am rearin to go this weekend.
