Sharp Square Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Players start with a $100 bank roll - Only Win, Place, and Show wagers are available for all races except the Belmont Stakes which will also include an Xtra Exacta Wager (straight bet no boxing or keying) - Each player must have a wager placed on every race included in the contest! - The minimum wager amount per race is $2 w/ a maximum wager amount of $20 (All wagers made in $2 increments) Ex: can wager $2/$4/$6 etc to win, place, or show or with any combination across the board (as long as the total wager doesn't exceed the maximum). The additional Exacta Wager on the Belmont Stakes will be valued at $4 (It will be automatically deducted from bankrolls and players must have the cash equivalent available for the wager to be in play) So keep in mind when putting in your selection the Belmont will cost an automatic $4 if you want to be eligible for the xtra Exacta wager. - I will post the card including each race that is included in the contest and each player will select all their betting options at once. If a horse you select gets scratched your wager will be graded as no action at no impact to your bankroll. Payoffs per race will be based on final odds and posted payouts. - For each race players will list the NUMBER - HORSE NAME - CLEAR INDICATION OF THE WAGER MADE W/ DOLLAR AMOUNT AND WIN,PLACE, ETC IN DETAIL - Each player that losses his $100 bankroll is eliminated - Tiebreaker: Highest total Winning Wager amount for any single race - Highest total Bankroll at the end of the Belmont Stakes race will be declared the winner (along with any runner up positions) Your entry should look like this: Race 1: #6 Bobs Big Boy $4 Win/PlaceRace 2: #10 Kingers Koolaid $6 WinRace 3: #1 Being BobbyFK $2 Win/Place/Show (Sure you can use just W/P/S in place of the whole word but the wager and amount need to be clearly detailed) Hopefully this format makes for some interesting handicapping strategy and money management. Will try and allow entries to be submitted all the way up until the night before race day to hopefully keep the potential number of scratches to a minimum. As usual I will try and be on and grade the contest live as the races are taking place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted May 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Thanks to poster Loman and TGF for the very generous donations of this contest's cash prize! As per payouts which is sure to come up as a so how about this: 1St - 3002nt - 150BR Winner - $50 Gives a couple guys a chance at some coin at the top and the BR Winner would be the entry with the biggest total payout on any single race. Would keep it somewhat interesting even if someone kind of runs away w/ this thing early on at the top. This is just a thought and we can alter it in any which way needed. I think this contest was meant to be free by those sponsoring even though there was a lot of talk in other thread about a post up version. Perhaps some side action between those interested can be put together. Contest Card from the Belmont will be posted below. So jump in everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaiseThese Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 do you automatically have to take the $4 exacta wager on Belmont or can one use that $4 for a different bet? Does the $4 exacta wager count against the $20 max bet on any one race? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 do you automatically have to take the $4 exacta wager on Belmont or can one use that $4 for a different bet? Does the $4 exacta wager count against the $20 max bet on any one race? If you don't have the +4 after the 20 allowance for the Belmont you won't be elig for the xtra exacta wager so no you don't have to do it So once ya get to that last race if your bankroll is just 20 you are automatically opted out of the exacta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Square Posted June 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 In the rules above I used the word (automatically) incorrectly in that context. should have said it will be locked in at the 4 dollars for anyone that has it available upon reaching the Belmont Stakes. Will try and get someone to change that wording for clarification purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the $4 exacta wager count against the $20 max bet on any one race? Great question by the way. Thanks for pitching in here to get some clarification before hand to avoid any misunderstanding later I really appreciate it. I always like to get this kind of input contest wise because its hard to be exact on every aspect on these things and good solid input over misguided over reaction always makes these contest easier to handle and better for everyone in the end.

RaiseThese Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Well I mean this sincerely and not in a condescending tone as I respect your contest efforts over the years Sometimes in trying to make rules and wanting to be exact , the wording becomes OVER COMPLICATED andI read rules very carefully. My experience says most people dont and this leads to a heap of issues Also as I understand the BR payout-regardless of wager size ...the highest payout on a single race wins this money I really liked how in one post you explained it like walking into the track the day before and buying $100 worth of ticketsTo me that is a great base to start explaining the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
