View Full Version : "Bet a horse, get a horse" board contest

I parlay my wagering winnings into my desire to be in on the Dee Tee Stables horses. It was a heck of a lot more fun, for me, to watch Sumwonlovesyou race this year, than reinvesting that money back into a couple of P4 or P6 tries.

Starting funds: $100

The Rules: a "group" handicapping contest - anyone on this board who cares to participate in this thread. All wagers posted on this thread by any one of us counts for or against the "total results" of the group. I'll keep the running total from our original starting bankroll of $100 based upon what's posted here and the results of every wager posted.

The Goal: to turn our group $100 into $500, or even $1500, so anyone following the thread in real life could "Bet a horse, get a horse" by turning their wagering bankroll into being a part of Dee Tee Stables should they wish!

(note - haven't discussed this thread at all with Steve, hope he allows it! :) )

The Method: preserve capital (there is no more when it's gone), get a steady ROI to meet goal. Some here wager on longshots, with the intermittant great score preserving bankroll; some wager more conservatively in order to see a steady profit over time.

When you post a wager, it affects the results of the entire group, so be discerning!

But we have some world-class handicappers on this board, so let's see if we really can do this as a group.

This is pretty much a "safe bet", or "best bet" thread, but the goal is real and tangible - for anyone following along here with real money to be able to join up with Dee Tee Stables with their winnings.

The winners: get a real-life horse

The losers: will cower and cringe in eternal internet embarassment :D

(Note: if you think this is silly, or don't care to share winning picks with others, or want to post a definitive heavy loser to sabotage the contest, just go away now)

I haven't looked at a card yet for today, but I'll be back with something for tomorrow -anybody else ready to help turn our $100 into a horse?

I'm hoping you guys are all handicapped out from yesterday - if anybody finds something interesting in the Belmont carryover, please post it!

6th Keeneland, 7f, MSW 50K - we'll take the two likely to conserve funds, and throw in two longer to try and get a price (although they will be bet down). Pre-scratches.

4 - Sweetness 'n Light - Stidham-Bejarano 5/2
1 - Coy Cat - McGee - Mena
11 - Tates Queen - Harty - Leparoux 10-1
7 - Cape Cod Bay - Stewart - Theriot 15-1
$1 exacta box 1-4-7-11 $12

$100 - $12 = $88

Result: 4-1-11 $1 exacta paid $12.40
Oh, well, at least didn't lose any money! <g>

Total after this bet: $100.40

There's the NY bred that folks will want to get in on, and today Bill W. and I were discussing the hopes for the Aldebaran and Came Home fillies - both with tons of promise, those are very nice yearlings.

If folks that can't afford to get in on Dee Tee Stables right now can take a few bucks and, with the help of others, wager it up to the amount needed to get in on one of the offerings, I think that would be awesome.

No worries at all, they aren't all gonna be winners :) - looked promising, would have been a nice hit! I didn't get in because of the timing. Perhaps we should try to post by noon of that race day if we can?

Okay, going into Wednesday: $294.15

Let's get ourselves a race horse! ;)

EVERYBODY can be in on this one (notice my lack of contribution :( )

jman5581
11-02-2007, 03:47 PM
Well, sorry gang, there's -$30. It went 5/6. It wouldn't have been half bad if the 6 actually would've got on top. Oh well... onward, upward... hopefully.

Riot, the lawyer business (ie law school) is still in progress. I think it's safe to say I'm no John Marshall or Oliver Wendell Holmes but I'll probably scratch a living out of it. :)

I'll be in Louisville/Lexington area around Thanksgiving. Maybe if SWLY makes it back to racing on that weekend we'll all have an excuse to gather at the Downs.
