Beat the Host - PA style

Break out your tape measurers boys...

Mad Scientist and I are having a little contest.

-100 races at whatever track Mad Scientist prefers.
-We will play every day his chosen track is running.
-We will post selections the night before so that neither player can take advantage of race day info that one player may not be able to take advantage of due to other obligations.
-If either player can't handicap a day for whatever reason, then that day is eliminated from the 100 race sample.
-This is a win-only contest. Post your top choice along with two alternate selections in case of scratches. If one player's picks are all scratched, that particular race is eliminated from the 100 race sample.
-No maiden races will be part of the 100 race sample.

I think that about covers it all. Once you pick the track we're playing, we'll be off and running.

Oh, and once you pick a track Mad Scientist, that's the only track we'll use for the entire contest. So choose wisely...

We'll track both win% and ROI...the winner will be the person with the highest ROI. Highest win% will get an honorable mention...

What's a handicapping contest without a morning line?

PA.......................2/5

MAD SCIENTIST.....5/2

Thaskalos books all bets...and all your betting decisions are final.
