Side Bet for Kansas. Match me?

[Optional]

This week I want to bet on my 5 drivers beating your chosen 5 drivers from one of the 3 brackets below.

I have a total of 120 points to bet.

Maximum single bet is 40 points. (no minimum)

Your 5 drivers must all come from the same bracket.

Each driver has a handicap amount next to them. Your 5 drivers total handicap must add up to 30 or less.

The winner is which ever group of 5 driver's finishing positions adds up to a lower number. Tie = Push.

that 30pts or less rule makes it tuff

[yisman]

#39 Ryan Newman -2
#31 Jeff Burton 10
#14 Tony Stewart 12

[avssakic]

Thanks Hawk. We are on.

95 points left to match if anyone else wants a go.

that 30pts or less rule makes it tuff

That's the idea!

I have Bill Elliot and Paul Menard in my 5 remember. And my 5 only add up to 27 points, so I tried to make it so you had more than a fair shot at me. If you want a hint, someone taking another set of Fords is my biggest weakness I think.

#39 Ryan Newman -2
#31 Jeff Burton 10
#14 Tony Stewart 12

I tried to make it so you shouldn't be able to find any combination where you can take more than 2 chase drivers. Although realize now there are two ways to get 3 in.

[jgbgsox]

Johnson
Montoya
McMurray
Earnhardt Jr
Newman

40 points good luck

[rickie65]

I'll try to attack the "weakness" you perceive.....unless you're not allowing us to pick any of your same drivers

Edwards 18
Kenseth 9
Menard 3
Ragan 2
Kes -2

30 points.....that should leave 25 for anyone else who wants to pick

really like Biff this week but didn't want to be too close to your picks.

oops looks like you jumped in as I posted CD.

That's fine, you are on too.

[CarolinaDaze]

Cool thanks im gonna go ahead and send points just return if i win. GL

[Optional]

best not to worry mate. We just pay more sbr rake that way. If someone wants to stiff me over a few points, at least we will be rid of them from this section of the forum.

rather than doing brackets, then, you could just specify a max of two chase drivers

[Optional]

@Yisman. Yeah that would have been much simpler.

1/4 race distance and I have 2 of you ahead and 3 behind so far.

Only Bowyer really letting anyone down so far.

Hawk 53
Msubulldog 53
Opti 60
Rickie 63
Jgbgsox 88
CarolinaDaze 93

[Optional]

1/2 distance and not much change.


Msubulldog 49
Hawk 62
Opti 64
Rickie 72
Jgbgsox 90
CarolinaDaze 97

[Optional]

Aaaargh. Kahne crashes out and looks like I could lose the lot.

Starting to wonder why I run this donation thread each week. :\


3/4 distance

Msubulldog 36
Rickie 50
Hawk 58
Jgbgsox 69
Opti 74
CarolinaDaze 75

[yisman]

wow, my guys are doing well

too bad I didn't enter, but I couldn't find two more guys with value in the third pool

[Optional]

Well that was zero fun this week. At least Kahne could have taken out Jimmy with him to give me some hope of winning one or two of these!? grrr

Congrats everyone, and thanks for the bets. Transferring your points now.
