2009 Saratoga Meet Contest Update

TheSpyder · #1 07-03-2009, 05:52 AM

Four weeks until we start!

Same format as last year. 36 days of racing. You get 36 $20 win bets to be used anytime over the meet. You can bet several horses in one race or one horse, up to you. Best ROI wins.

I've received some PM's from people who have already donated some prizes and expect some great prize packages for the top three. If anyone would like to donate a prize please PM me. I think there is no tougher contest and diserves some worthy prizes. I will supply the throphy for first place. Pictures, books, and memorabilia would be a great addition. We already have some.

Please let me know on this thread if you will be playing so I can have the excel spreadsheet ready.

Good luck at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'll give it a try. I expect you guys will probably give me a pretty solid drubbing, but what the heck, it's only public humiliation. I'm always up for that!!

j/k of course, yes, I do want to play.

Don't feel too intimidated. Looking at last years results only nine players out of 45 were able to produce a positive ROI

AND

20 players out of 45 had one or zero wins out of the 36 bets, so no heros here to be sure.

Here's the top five:

PLAYER WINS % ROI
hi im god 10/36 27.78% 0.91
herkhorse 6/36 16.67% 0.34
trifecta 6/36 16.67% 0.29
zaf 6/36 16.67% 0.25
mclem0822 10/36 27.78% 0.24

PeteMugg · #14 07-03-2009, 03:58 PM

I'm in ... after all, someone has to be in the "also ran" group

TheSpyder · #15 07-03-2009, 04:05 PM

You want me to show the rest of the names? I was one of those with one winner, you had 9, the third most.....you just played chalk, but you were almost in the plus.

"Almost" only counts in horseshoes

I had forgotten where I finished actually. I'll try to not be so "chalky" this time around
