    If he agrees by tomorrow morning then we'll make it 200 otherwise it's 100.

    It's a 200 point profit to the winner either way(me vs you heads up for 200 or the 3 of us for 100)

    Agree for 200. Winner takes all, or 2nd gets any consolation prize? I am fine either way.

    The 3 of us agreed to 200 so if u2 are alright with that you are in but have to acknowledge you're in sometime before this afternoon.

    Makes it 800 to the winner.

    Wow, I really thought someone would be doing a little bit better.
    Maybe I'll do better picking 5 horses to finish in the top three at
    the Derby.

    This masters was odd in that a large amount of top players missed the cut.Quite a few right on the number or 1/2 off it.

    I blame Bubba for playing out of his mind.If he didn't distance himself from the field the cut line would have been +5 or +6 and then things would be a lot different as far as this contest goes.
