ROI Results 3/8 @ Tampa Bay

What I was thinking was, if RQ uses DRF or Equibase to score, it might be kind of a pain because when you look at the results, they give you the name of horses that are scratched, but not the runner's number. I use XpressBet to watch the races and at the end of the day, they give a listing of the horses that scratched in each race and their numbers which might make it a bit easier for RQ, but then again, he probably has his own way of doing the scoring and maybe that isn't a problem for him. Probably not a problem for him scoring your picks, Ruffian, because you give the horse's name and number, but several of our players don't, including me. Of course, RQ might not want to open an XpressBet account, if he already has another wagering account, but XpressBet does offer a sign-up bonus.

I use Equibase to score and I generally don’t run into any issues. Saturday I also checked Bris. My main issue is scoring scratches in pick 3 and above races. I ‘m not certain sometimes whether a scratched pick reverts to the ml favorite. While I can check the charts for the ptf I’m still guessing whether that applies. In pick 4-5-6 races I guess the rules are different and the payouts list all the combos including scratches If I’m not certain I’d rather ask the group for feedback.

I forgot about that reverting to the favorite rule. I don't often play the multi-race bets.

A number of jurisdictions will offer consolation doubles and pick 3's when there is a late scratch in other than the first leg of either a double or pick 3. When that happens, that is usually noted in the Equibase charts.

In those instances where the scratch will revert to the ptf, the chart will usually indicate more than one winning number in the payoffs when the ptf is the winner.

RQ, I've always been very impressed with the effort you make to get the ROI results correct. It isn't always easy, especially when different racing jurisdictions have slightly different rules for computing payoffs. THANK YOU.
