A little odd indeed HeadH, the young man does state that it is not a money making deal but a "chance to fullfile his dream". The real entry fee for that contest is $700 with the other $200 as betting capital of which if you win you get to keep all of the winnings from that $200. So if you are a good capper you can nail down part of the $700 for the real entry fee. Plus 1st place is a cool $50,000. Hey Head whata sponser me?? LOL LOL
Gee,
you'd think after 15 yrs of handicapping if he were any good he'd have $900 laying around for the entry fee. Or he could even pick up the bucks the day before at the track.
I'm heading to the Orleans in a couple of weeks. How about everyone buys entries, I"ll make the selections...when I get back I"ll let you know how you did.
