AsD Parlay Contest Results Thru Sunday, 05/27/2012
presents
CONTEST 5
5th ANNUAL
PARLAY CHALLENGE
***
Please reference the attached excel file for results thru and including SUNDAY, 05/27.
Subject Standing sheet now has all the relevant and interesting info. I believe I have ironed out all the little bugs, but let me know if I missed one.
Remember that you can play on Monday, 05/28.
Thanks,
Chris
P.S. Subject standings sheet has been revised and re-posted with mudcat's correct totals. I erroneously credited him with a winner (back on 05/26 AsD race 1), with the saddlecloth number being a winner, but the listed name went with a losing selection. In our contest the name takes precedence.

I'm on the board, I'm 3 for 3, but ....
... my total of $10.80 after three straight winning plays cannot possibly be correct.
Everyone starts out with a $5 bet. $3.80 x 2.5 = $9.50 after one win.
$3.70 x 4.5 = $16.65 plus .50 carryover = $17.15 after two wins
$2.80 x 8.5 = $23.80 plus .15 carryover = $23.95 after three wins
$23.95 looks like it should be my total going into the next parlay play.
Please correct.

I don't know how much I should have, but I think that the total is wrong.
I have 5 winners in a row & my in play bank is Zero.
Thanks

We will get this thing right!
I backed out all the plays from today that I had already entered, and re-calculated. The attached sheet should address the stated concerns of MONEY and turfeyejoe, and the ones not stated by camourous and TBred17Roan, who also had incorrect starting bankrolls for 05/28.

I know I banked my plays from Monday, but it shows a balance of zero.
Is it because I am in the red?

I have completed a parlay (1 Sunday, 2 Monday) and you only show 2 live plays. Can you update that and bank that parlay?
Thanks

No, but there are two issues.
The first one is that your listed selections were not in order of the expected race post time. Prx04 went off before Bel07. Knowing this now, I have switched the scoring order in my spreadsheet records. After the Prx04 race you would have been deemed to have a 3-race parley going into the Bel07 race. The Bel07 race was not a successful play. (By the way, even if you had listed in the correct race order, it would not have changed my decision regarding the scoring.)
The second but most critical error is that you indicated "Bank It" at the bottom of your post, and it was few lines lower than your group of race selections. This is the normal way to post when you want the bank to take place if ALL the listed race selections were successful. From the specific way you posted, one could not reasonable conclude that it was your intention to bank after the Prx04 race.
Others who would want to bank in the middle of multiple selections have (properly) done so with something like the following:
*************************************************
Bel03 --> xxxxxxxxxx
Prx04 --> xxxxxxxxxx
If successful so far, bank this and start a new parlay with
Bel07 --> xxxxxxxxx
*************************************************
Placing the bank it instruction at the bottom of all multiple selections implies that all the posted selections must be successful.
Hopefully you will see this as a fair decision, and do know that I do not enjoy being the bearer of bad news.
