Breeders Cup Handicapping Contest

[Pick6]

Ok, I have been getting it from Dahoss and his fanboys so it's time to get this started.

I am welcome to suggestions, but I recommend a contest-style event with the following rules:

1) Everybody starts with a ficticious $1,000 bankroll.
2) The winner will be person who earns the most from their bets, including the bet amount. For example, If a person bets $100 to win, and wins with a payoff of $11.00, then that person will have earned $550 for that bet.
2) Require a minimum number of straight win bets in "key" races. I suggest minimum required $50 win action in: BCC, BC Turf, Juvenile, and Sprint.
3) Allow no more than $250 bet in one race. For multi-race bets, this will apply to the starting race of that bet.
4) All BC races Friday and Saturday are eligible. Multi-race bets that span non-BC races are NOT eligible.
5) All pari-mutuel bets offered at Churchill are acceptable bets. This includes special Fri/Sat doubles.
6) A moderator will post "NO MORE BETS" when the first horse is entered in the gate. Any posts with bets following that post will be rejected.

Who's got time for a pissing contest...esp. w/no prizes...when there's REAL money made those days... :kiss:

[thaskalos]

Why does it have to be a contest with no prizes?

$100 entry fee...winner take all!

We arrange to give the money to an honest board member to hold...assuming we can find one...:)

[Charlie D]

A suggestion


Selections Forum - start a thread ( username selections) - post selections before gate opens - keep ROI


Sorted


no need to challenge Dahoss and his fanboys, CJ and his fanboys, Jonnielue and his fanbous, PA and his fanboys etc, etc, etc

I thought the rules for the contests Bubbles ran were more than fair. The fewer restrictions, the better.

We are willing to donate to the prize fund. Somebody pm me if interested....

Ok, I have been getting it from Dahoss and his fanboys so it's time to get this started.I don't get this whole rigmarole. If you want to prove you are as good as Dahoss, simply equal or surpass his performance using the exact same restraints he was under in his contest with only11.

You don't need to set up some contest thread. Just start a thread in the selections section and start posting picks. Keep track of how the picks do. At the end of the same number of races that Dahoss picked, we'll know if you're any good.

Sounds simple, right?

But no, we need this elaborate contest thread... :lol:

I'm ok with this. I thought the facilitator of this forum does not allow prop bets, so I guess we need his approval?

Yes, nothing like this is allowed of course.

I have not taken a survey, but this is the only forum I am aware of that believes they are legally responsible for people agreeing to prop bets/$ contests.

Judging by the response Gm10's contest got, (which strangely you are absent from) probably not.

But, instead of talking about it, just do it. Have whatever contest you are going to have and let's see what you have. Pretend you have something to offer for a change.

hey hey hey , are we at the starting post OR the whipping post?:)

As I wrote recently, jaywalking is illegal, but police rarely enforce it.

If you want a contest then PM prospective contestants. Then do it on the honor system -- a gentleman's agreement. Whoever doesn't pay up is not included in future contests.

My feeling is that it is not worth running one because of the nuisance factor.

I think the risk of getting in trouble with law is so small as to be virtually non-existant because this would be a private bet between individuals and the house is not taking a cut.

If a contest is not free to enter, I'm so scared of placing a wager from North Carolina in any kind of forum, I'm shaking all over!

(The wagering platforms that allow phone wagers and internet wagers on horse races won't let me join because I'm from North Carolina.)

Have I not already proposed how it will work within the rules of this site?

If you have any suggestions to that, please chime in. Since you indicated above you don't want to participate, I guess we can't draw any conclusions on your handicapping abilities for the BC. Shame, I thought you were willing to put up your skills against myself and others.

As I have said to Gm10 previously, prove that you can handicap and I'd consider testing my skills. So far you have yet to post a single pre race opinion on a horse you like in a specific race. Your posts on other topics have been pretty laughable.

I don't feel like wasting my time like I have already done twice. So let's see what you can do over 120 races and I'll consider it.

But, I plan on providing analysis on the BC, so you can draw all of the conclusions you'd like.

Look, I get it. You don't want to participate; that's fine. Do you think this is the last of these contests? You talk about this forum similar to talking to other racegoers at the track/OTB. You want to take some things seriously, other things not. I don't really care. You like to post stuff like "last word" as though it means something.

Frankly, I don't have the time to handicap x number of tracks for weeks/months in some contest that returns nothing. I enjoy the LV contests because they are only 3 days and I win money when I pick well. A single day (or 2 day) event like the BC is perfect. Just enjoy it. As if I could ever prove I am a better 'capper than you. (or anyone else)

No, you don't get it. You never get it.

You're afraid to post your opinions because then your nonsense will really look funny. You're not alone there, but it's obvious. That's why instead of actually posting opinions, you spend your precious time talking about doing it. This thread is a fine example of it. It's been going on for weeks now. Instead of posting some picks in these few weeks, we have yet to see a single pick. Not one.

You're not fooling me, or anyone else for that matter. But you know that.

I'll repeat: I have posted picks. Use the search function.

I will post picks here BC day. What are you so worried about?

Here's a disclaimer. (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/46/sporting-events/important-note-about-any-prop-bets-pools-fantasy-sports-leagues-etc-701440/)

[Dahoss9698]

Prove it.

Prove it.
Why? If you are so interested in this, then you can certainly use the search function to find out for yourself. It certainly doesn't matter to me.

I choose not to take that risk.

The very fact that they feel the need to post such a disclaimer says volumes about these types of activities.

[Dahoss9698]

Why? If you are so interested in this, then you can certainly use the search function to find out for yourself. It certainly doesn't matter to me.

In other words you haven't. You would think it would be pretty simple to prove, no?

Then, to act as though it doesn't matter to you, considering this entire thread is about it is pretty funny.

One more time, you aren't fooling anyone.

The disclaimer is clear, and I understand this specific one was written by attorneys. So I doubt the "any legal water" argument otherwise they would stop the prop stuff like you.

That's fine; it's your forum, you do with it what you want. I just wanted to inform you how other forums out there deal with it, as you expressed doubt that sites actually allow that kind of stuff.

I don't care. You do. I have no reason to fool anybody. Even if I never made any "picks" it doesn't mean anything. This is a HR forum. You are taking this way too seriously. Remember you race track analogy?

23 days to the Breeders Cup!

At least you are coming around to admitting you haven't. That's the first step. Not sure why you insisted on lying about it for this long.

Of course you care. This thread is an example of just how much you care. The fact you lied for this long shows how much you care. But I finally get it. You're trying to convince yourself.

Good luck with that.

If I host a poker game at my house, yet I don't participate in the game, nor do I profit from it in any manner, do you think that will enable me to escape all legal troubles should the authorities come a knockin'?

What if I print up a disclaimer written by an attorney and hang it on my front door? Will the cops leave me alone because of that piece of paper? :lol:

...and the above is evidence you did not use the search function to get the right answer for this important matter of yours you continue to dwell on.

I already posted a few weeks ago I would be participating in contests, whether you like it or not. I'm just being consistent.

Nope. You have never had a pre race opinion on a specific race and that is a fact. The evidence you haven't is your inability to provide an example.

I'll make it easy for you. Provide an example from the name(s) that got banned.

If you are trying to prove the correctness of your position, I would not have chosen your example. I'm not an attorney, but inviting people over to your home with the intent of hosting a poker game is not really a close comparison. Perhaps employees of your business who make bets while they are working might be a closer comparison.

Not much better than "last word". So I guess the answer is "no."

Ok. So if I find a pre-race prediction I made, you promise to never post on this forum again?

[Dahoss9698]

Why would I do that? Unlike you, some actually like me and want me to post here.

The hilarious thing is you have to find it. :lol:

If you are convinced then are we on for the prop bet?

And you really didn't answer my question. You replied without answering either with yes/no.

Maybe you should just post "last word" so you can declare victory.

[Dahoss9698]

I already won a long time ago. No need to keep reminding you.

[Pick6]

I already won a long time ago. No need to keep reminding you.
What exactly did you "win"? Are we on for our prop bet?

Figure it out.

[Pick6]

Figure it out.
So I'm supposed to figure out that you won "something", but you won't even answer yes/no to my prop bet which you already indicated you cannot lose.

Would you like to post "last word" now?

[Dahoss9698]

Step back and think about this for a second. You want to make a bet where I have to stop posting if you can prove something that has never happened.

And you can't see that I've won already?

[Pick6]

Step back and think about this for a second. You want to make a bet where I have to stop posting if you can prove something that has never happened.

Correct. You have nothing at risk because you confirmed I never posted a pre-race opinion, right?

So are we on for the prop?

[Dahoss9698]

All of this carrying on because you don't have the balls to have an opinion. It's hilarious. Really is.

Yet your excuse for not posting opinions is not having time.

Yep, still fooling everyone.

Actually, no I didn't.

Again, the fact props aren't legal shouldn't stop you from proving me wrong. So go for it bigshot.

Again, the fact props aren't legal shouldn't stop you from proving me wrong. So go for it bigshot.
So, maybe you can elaborate on this?
Rules

...
I will try and update the scores after everyday, but I can't promise it. When putting your wagers in this thread, please indicate track, race, horse number. Only11 wins and Dahoss has to leave the board for good. Dahoss wins and Only11 donates $100 to a charity Dahoss chooses. Good luck.

[Dahoss9698]

So, maybe you can elaborate on this?

When you provide your example, I'll elaborate on it. Consistency....

[PaceAdvantage]

I'm not an attorney, but inviting people over to your home with the intent of hosting a poker game is not really a close comparison. Perhaps employees of your business who make bets while they are working might be a closer comparison.Whether they are invited or not makes not one bit of difference. The fact that I have knowledge that it is going on under my roof is the key.

The fact that they feel the need to post a disclaimer is pretty much a confession that they know this type of activity is taking place in their "house."

And if they moderate the board in any fashion, it's even more damning.

Inviting people to your home with the intent of playing a poker game, as you described in your example, is fairly "damning".

Again I'm not arguing with you; it's your forum, and you manage risk as you see fit. But your example was obviously poor. Mine was better.

When you provide your example, I'll elaborate on it. Consistency....
Not necessary, really. Since you were not banned for this prop, then it's safe to assume it was not violating any rules of the forum.

Ok, here we go. Since nobody protested, the rules are as originally posted (shown below):


1) Everybody starts with a ficticious $1,000 bankroll.
2) The winner will be person who earns the most from their bets, including the bet amount. For example, If a person bets $100 to win, and wins with a payoff of $11.00, then that person will have earned $550 for that bet.
2) Require a minimum number of straight win bets in "key" races. I suggest minimum required $50 win action in: BCC, BC Turf, Juvenile, and Sprint.
3) Allow no more than $250 bet in one race. For multi-race bets, this will apply to the starting race of that bet.
4) All BC races Friday and Saturday are eligible. Multi-race bets that span non-BC races are NOT eligible.
5) All pari-mutuel bets offered at Churchill are acceptable bets. This includes special Fri/Sat doubles.
6) A moderator will post "NO MORE BETS" when the first horse is entered in the gate. Any posts with bets following that post will be rejected.

Unfortunately, I cannot moderate the bets tomorrow. So how about we use the DRF chart off time as the official cutoff time less one minute. So if your post says 2:03CT, and the race goes off at 2:04CT, you are ok. If your post says 2:04CT, then sorry, you got shut out.

$50 WIN #9
$10 EXACTA BOX #2-9
