OBJECTIVES & RULES
 
OBJECTIVES

1. To accumulate the largest bankroll over time based on successful Win, Place or Show parlay wagers.
2. To increase our collective knowledge of handicapping, display sportsmanship and have fun!
3. To create awareness of various racing products and encourage wagering at sponsor tracks.

***

RULES


1. Wagers may be made at any thoroughbred race track in North America with posted entries and results in the Daily Racing Forum (www.drf.com).
1a. races from Los Alamitos will no longer be eligible for the contest.

2. Selections are allowed on race days from Wednesday to Sunday only unless specified otherwise. (ie. American & Canadian Holidays)
3. Each player begins with a $5.00 bankroll.
4. All subsequent bets are made with the original $5.00 bet plus profits.
5. All bets must be rounded down to the nearest full dollar value.
6. All breakage (profits greater than nearest full dollar) above the nearest full dollar value can be added to the winnings of subsequent plays.
7. A player may make a maximum of three bets per day. Each wager is a separate entity and can be to Win, Place or Show.
8. A player may post all three bets at the same time if he chooses, but they must be made in order of official listed post time.
9. A scratched selection counts as no action (no bet).
10. A cancelled race counts as no action (no bet).
11. A race with No Show Betting will count as no action (no bet) if the bet is a Show Wager.

12. To place an "official play" and receive credit for the results the play must be posted at least one full minute prior to the "official off time" as stated in the DRF. All posts are time stamped.
12a. If the time stamp and the "official off time" are the same, or later, and your selection "loses", your selection will count as an official play as your intention was clear.
12b. Edited selections will be scored in the same manner as presented in rules 12 and 12a.


13. If a selection ends up being No Action, the player may post a new selection to take its place.
14. An entry selection must be explicitly stated as such or the posted play will be scored as stated. (ie. Entry of #1 and #1A will be scored as such if posted as #1/#1A ~ if you post only part of the entry and that selection scratches, you will have no action (no bet) for that race.
15. Further to entries, if you post only part of the entry (ie. 1A) and the other half of the entry actually wins, places or shows, the player shall be awarded similar to what would take place at the race track. The purpose of the Entry Rule is to protect the player from late scratches.
16. If a player fails to declare Win, Place or Show, the play will automatically become a Win play.
17. It is recommended that when placing your bet, you state the number and name of the entry. The name of the entry will supersede the number in case of discrepancy.
18. A player must successfully parlay the original $5.00 wager over a minimum of three races.
19. Upon reaching the plateau of three successful Parlay bets, the Player can:
(a) Choose to “Parlay” and continue on with the Parlay, extending the length and value of the play;
(b) Or “Bank It”, thus locking in the value of the parlay into his Bank Account.
20. A player can continue to “Parlay” as long as he wishes, but if he doesn’t cash out prior to losing, all will be lost and he will have to return to the Bank and begin again.
21. When a player Banks the winnings his account balance will be credited with the full amount of all winnings including any breakage less the original $5.00.
22. At any point where a player’s parlay is broken (selection does not place as wagered) he will have to return to the Bank and begin a new parlay.
(a) His bank account will be debited the original $5.00 less any breakage he might have on balance.
(b) He may begin a new Parlay with $5.00.
23. All parlays are cashed out at the end of the contest.
24. The contest winner will be declared based on the largest increase in their Bank Account for the contest period.
25. A minimum of 30 selections during the contest period are required to be considered an official entry.

27. The moderators (Jay Trotter or eddy1) or their designate will have the final say on any challenge or amendment to the rules. This is a fun contest intended to be played in good faith!
28. Only one entry per household is allowed. (Revised Rule)
