Dahoss vs. Only11 - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

Rules

The contest will last from July 17th and end after the last race from Del Mar on August 22nd. The contest days are every Saturday and Sunday. You get 10 $2 Win/Place bets on any thoroughbred track running every Saturday and Sunday during the contest. Bets need to be in by 12:30pm eastern every race day. If your bet scratches, you get post time favorite. If you bet an entry you get both halves. Please post the bets in this thread. The highest profit or lowest amount of money lost at the end will be the winner.

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.

I get the feeling at least one of these rules will be broken on day 1. Hope I'm wrong.

Which one...or ones? I thought they were all pretty specific and it seems like having all of the plays in at a specific time is the fairest way.

personaly, i don't want to see you leave. i would be willing to put up $100 for a contest between you 2 as long as i don't have to monitor it. i would be more that happy to put the money up upfront. but i don't want any part of the contest to have to do with you leaving this board. i need guys like you with intelligence in the horse racing game to keep posting here, that is why i am willing to put up the money.

Dahoss...you are being stubborn here IMO. Nobody wants you to leave.

For one thing...the Zenyatta/Rachel threads won't be the same without you.

Pace was correct. Only 11 has already posted his selections in the wrong thread. He is at the Man O' War thread.

Perhaps it's a decoy.

Now thats funny...

I wont change the rules but...if i had a choice i would make this change every horse picked has to be over 3/1 and this is why...

Supposed i jumped to a 5 horse lead(Likely scenario)...and leading thru out...all of a sudden Chalkie Dahoss decides to pick chalks and he gets back in it with a bunch of 3.60 horses now what?
Imade 2 picks today that i would never make...but if i get off to a slow start at least i could be sure i have Baze/Catalano for a 4.00 winner..
But we will play by HIS rules i will post my picks here..

Only11, I'm not sure if you read the rules or not, but I thought they were pretty self explanatory. It really has nothing to do with the number of horses that win. It's based on the highest amount of money won or lowest lost (ROI) at the end. There won't be a 5 horse lead, because it is based on money. You might jump to a high $ amount lead (likely scenario), but if that happens a bunch of $3.60 horses (my bread and butter obviously) won't get me back into it.

I have to give PA credit though. He called it from the start. What exactly was confusing about my first post and why put the picks in the Man O War thread? Especially after I pm'd you this thread? And there is no reason for you to leave. We made the agreement and I have no desire for you to leave.

I appreciate it, but it's not about the money at all.

Not the first or last time I've been accused of being stubborn.
