Anyone know where Alli, NJ and IH are???

I'm with you Don. I need some more 'splainin'.

I don't understand what you said RQ about the case in which someone hits boxcars early on. Are you saying, the rest of us would just give up at that point and not make any picks?

I don't see why it matters to me, if say I want to play race 9, but don't post until just before that race goes off, but someone else wants to play an earlier race. As long as we both post before our races go off, isn't that what matters?

If we do try this, I would suggest that when we post our picks, we do them all at the same time. I don't think it would be fair to you, RQ, if a person plays 4 races and plays each one right before they go off. That way you wouldn't have to be checking so many post times.

If I can be so bold, Cal, RQ's point is I (or any other player) could wait until a late race before posting my picks. But before I do post my picks, I could check all other picks posted already by other players and see if they won anything yet and how much they won. For instance, if Ruffian hits a 30-1 shot and collects $1,240 in the 3rd race, I now know I need to make a bet in the last race that pays at least $1,241 if I want to win the week's ROI Contest.

Like I said above, RQ raised a very good point.

Well, I see, and that is a good point and it might happen so I guess we're back to square one. I've never seen her hit one quite that big, but I wouldn't be surprised if she or Roamin did it. The rest of us, I think that would be a stretch. Although, I guess we all have our moments of grandeur.
