YOUBET Contest

[XIIPointStables]

Went with the 10 there in the 2nd as my first contest wager.

James Graham was actively looking for traffic I believe. By the time he got the horse clear, it was too late and he could only get 3rd.

0-1.

I looked over the PP's just now and had a feeling she might have....nice job.

Speed and fade on poly the start before, and a 2nd to Get Ready Bertie before that.

Good job. I bet a little on that horse to win....only because a friend of mine liked him. I never even handicapped the race. I didn't play that race in the contest.

The Youbet contest we are talking about is win-place only and involves ONLY Oaklawn, Keeneland and Santa Anita.

Cool. I assumed there was another contest.

It is actually a neat idea, which Youbet pulled from the poker sites. On the poker sites, you could play with fake money to help learn the way of the online poker world. Youbet.net allows you to do that also, and for someone that doesn't know how to bet, it is risk free.....

[fpsoxfan]

Yeah..it's a free site with the option to play for real. I do both. Sometimes its fun (when your bankroll is down) to do mythical wagers just to keep your handicapping prowess up do date.

I would sit chilly by the way and see what happens, with that return, it will be hard, I have seen better numbers, but you personally won't be able to improve that, unless you hit another monsterous ticket

I'm sure I'm not alone, but used Stream Cat in R4 at Kee, the 1st of the mandatory races.

Generous $20.40 for the $2 exacta.

heh heh! You do have to laugh at a day like today.

Curlin bought you some breathing room, increasing your lead to $4.40 over me. But I stormed back with Blue Stellar in the 9th at SA, and now hold a $6.20 lead going into the last race, the 10th at SA. You've got the 11 and I've got the 5. You could cut the tension with a knife.

Go get 'em, Jim. I'm in 228th place with an ROI of -48.63%. Argh.

Hard to believe that was good enough to be in the top 40%!

I have got the 10 in the last race, maybe i can add to my awesome tally.
