    Side Bet for Kansas. Match me?

    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.

    Thanks Hawk. We are on.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    good luck

    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

    @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.
