I will be participating in a Handicapping Contest next weekend with a format I have not played before and wouldn't mind hearing how to effectively play under this format.

Basic Format:

* $250.00 Bankroll
* 10 Contest Races (to be announced)
* Mandatory Bet of $5.00 Win on each of the 10 races
* First 8 races, balance of bankroll ($200.00) can be bet Win/Place/Show as you wish.
* Final 2 races, your wager is maxed out at whatever amount was your highest wager during the first 8 wagers.

I don't believe you can re-bet your winnings!

So, what would be the ideal strategy for using your bankroll most effectively.

I eagerly await the sage advice from this forum.

Check under the thread below in reference to the "2010 Hose Player World Series". I recieved a lot of good info. While your contest is not exactly the same format, it's fairly close. Good luck this weekend.
