How about a $20 Pick N Pray on Sunday?

We can sign up at the same time on Saturday night to assure we're in the same contest.

As we get closer we can pick a time to sign up.

How's that sound?

Still looking for PA or CJ to set a line and would be happy to read any advance analysis from the brethren as to why I'm very likely to win!
Fine...Sunday it is.

And, since your tournament exploits are so well documented...I will set the early line with you as only a +150 dog against me.

Since you respect my line-making expertise so much...you should know that you only get +140 betting the other way. The line-maker ain't working for free, you know.

No worries at all. +140 sounds good. I think you should make a few bucks. You're gonna need it!

Horsetourneys.com
DerbyWars.com
DRF

all of these are online.

Yes credit builder does exactly that, earns credits which ammounts to money.

There is also breakage, its explained on the sites, but basically its the leftover money when say 7 people entered but the offer is 1 prize for every 5 entries, the breakage is a refund of entry fee to the next 2 players after the final results.

I play feeders and then make money on the breakage to fund more feeders.
Is the DRF World Championship of Handicapping an all online tournament? What's the date of the finals?

The description for the 1 day qualifer on the 28th it says:

1 WCH entry per 10 entries. Minimum 8 entries required to go.

Can you explain that to me?

The DRF World Championship is a mythical win/place tournament conducted online.

It is very similar to the NHC which is conducted live at Treasure Island each winter.

The qualifier you see gives you the opportunity to win your way into the Championship field.

Some online sites will guarantee one entry even if only 8 sign up. Sort of like when a certain amount is guarantee in a pick 4 or pick 6 pool. It is VERY rare when the have to contribute the seeding.

Think of a satellite to the World Series of Poker. Very similar.

Beating everybody else on PA hardly prepares you for taking down Mr. Thask.

Mr. Thask works while the others sleep.

I suggest Mr. Thask order a case of Red Bull. I've already spent 3 hours on a Sunday GP card that Mr. Thask probably doesn't even know has been drawn.

Sunday card already? Have you already finished your work for the days in-between? You are not tangling with a weekend-warrior this time Mr. Stauffer. My money says that you are in for a rude awakening.

My sole focus is the Del Mar Tourney on July 28 & 29. I haven't capped anything since the last Tourney at Santa Anita*. I planned on playing the DM qualifier last weekend but changed my mind when Belmont & Monmouth were rained off the turf.

Now I've switched to this weekends qualifier. So while you're working on the "days between" I'll be singularly focused on Sunday and our match.

Your money might want to re-think it's position.

* Finished 2nd

I am so impressed by your single-minded dedication to our match...that I will wholeheartedly offer you a REMATCH, should you desire one.

Novice horseplayers would be well advised to take note of this.

To add to what Vic said, if there are 20 entries 2 will win, if 30 three will win this qualifier. Since this is drfs baby they are a little more generous and if only 8 or 9 enter they will still award a prize and run the game. If they only get 7 or less the contest will not run.

If say 12 enter the top dog will advance and breakage awards will go to 2nd and 3rd (there is some variation here but this is basically it).

Important to note is that on drf breakage credits, which sometimes ca be substantial. I once earned over 500. Cannot be taken out as cash, they can only be played back.On HT and HP credits can be withdrawn as cash and they even have a bank routing thing now.

Drf contrsts you get drf PPs for the races which in mho are much better than those privided by HT-bris. I may play a small feeder and use the PPs for Pick 4s,etc i can save money and use to get timeforms. Also. Drf has more microfeeders lately, for $11 you can play many feeders.
