Hey Andy, How about an Indy 500 contest?

**ChuckyTheGoat** · 2025-05-24T11:02:19+00:00

jamm, enjoy the race.

1) I used to listen to the race on radio. I'd simulate the race by driving my Big Wheel.
2) Johnny Rutherford was my guy. I hated Rick Mears, b/c he was too good.

Mike, you should have made this thread during the week. No one works on the weekends. I doubt you will get a response on a Saturday but maybe you will.

Seeing as you'll not get your contest this weekend Mike here are some picks by Phil Bobbitt:

Monaco GP

Oscar Piastri To Win (+200)

Lando Norris over Max Verstappen (-115)

George Russell over Lewis Hamilton (-163)

Indy 500

Josef Newgarden To Win (+1200)

Pato O’Ward To Win (+600)

Josef Newgarden To Finish Top 5 (+165)

Coca-Cola 600

Kyle Larson To Win (+600)

Alex Bowman over Joey Logano (-110)

Josh Berry over Chase Briscoe (-115)

William Byron over Tyler Reddick (+100)

Word to wise: Check to see how today's qualifying played out at Monaco before pulling the trigger. The narrow streets of Monaco make it tough to pass.

That's what I miss about the points gone. Me and other posters were doing our contests to give points back as prizes back in the day. So we can see what everyone was betting on. With points gone now it slowed down the traffic. So I think they need to reconsider bringing points back now that eveyone's balance is set to zero.

Think we could get one together for Sunday’s race? Maybe a pick 5 drivers and the best order of finish wins. Tie breaker could be total laps led by winner or total number of cautions in the race.

get that—some hits, some misses, but overall solid picks. Shai and Jokic showed up. I’ve been curious about Bitcoin-Betting too… might be worth trying next time.

Sorry Mike, I should have thought to suggest a greatest day in motorsports contest for Monaco, Indy and the Coke 600.

Andy is on leave for the next two weeks too.

If someone wants to set it up and run it I will fund the contest. PM ME! $500 in prizes. Can do Amazon or Cash. Whatever works,

MJ, that's very generous of you. I do have some Live Odds.

I'll set up a Contest thread. You can confirm or deny. See the upcoming thread.

No worries Opti. I was thinking the same thing since it’s a big race weekend. I didn’t see any posts about it and figured maybe we could get something going for at least one of the races.
