Saratoga Meet Wrap Up Thread
I'll use this thread to give overall standings when I get around to it. As for now, I know three things.
One - I already have two winners eclipsing anything I've been able to do. In fact, if I'm not leading this damn thing, I'm right there in the top flight. Two - Great response so far on the contest with a steller turn out of players. This really is a fun contest and glad all enjoy it. Three - Those two bourbons went down real smooth and any chance I have of tabulating results tonight has been sidelined until a later date. Spyder out.............. DO NOT POST PICKS OR RESULTS ON THIS THREAD. IF YOU DO, THIS CONTEST REALLY ISN'T FOR YOU.

First Week Wrap Up
Enjoying 4 cancelled flights from 9am this morning and ending up landing only two hours from my original destination (Greenville, SC - Charlotte, NC), has given me a new appreciation for LaGuardia Airport.
And time for the first week recap Lots of action from the start with a record 23 people winning over the first week. I'll have to check records, but thats way better than the past. Of note, there was a three hour period where I actually was tied for the lead. But enough about me. Casp055 (-0.40 4/8) and gamblin4ever(-0.49 4/10) out of the gate flying with the lead in that order with them. The real surprise is the new and improved Arletta who has thrown away the chalk and busted out of the gate with a $316 winner! Another note: Please remember to follow the rules in posting wagers and results in the proper manner ! I had only one child for a reason, if you know what I mean. Enjoy your day at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Spyder landed

UPDATE for Saturday Morning
Long shots have always been the road to success in this game and the last week was proof of that. Starting with Countkniclerboker ($486)who catapulted Brockguy to the lead 2/13 (-0.17 ROI) and also helped djw move into forth 2/3 (-0.30 ROI). For many others it was Majestic Raffy ($360) who helped lift them to to the top 10.
In second is Arletta who is doing a nice job of being bipolar in her pledge against chalk. Yet strangely the strategy is working with 4/14 (-0.20 ROI). Nine people off the shnide this past week and a mightly close contest indeed as we approach the 1/3 mark of the contest. Hope you're having fun. Spuder out. And I have been spuddering mightily at the windows

ARLETTA IS BETTAH BETTAH!!
Using her new strategy I call Bipolar Chalk - Long Shot, Arletta, a perenial top flight contestant has methodically climbed to the lead. Currently with 5 wins over 16 bets, she's on the brink of turNing a profit for the entire contest with her next winner Gambling4ever retains second 6/30 (-0.13) and Lava comes out of the clouds to storm into a tie for second with a three pack of winners 4/13 (-0.13) Of those that have posted winners, we are collectively 74/300 for a 24.7% win rate. NOTE: PROBLEM UNLOADING ZIP FILE. WILL POST ASAP Play on! Spyder out

Welcome to the Dr. Arletta show, the female Dr. Phil of horse racing.
She's talking us to task and stomping on all comers. With two more winners, one chalk and one long shot, she's turning a profit with 18 more bets to make at 7/22 and a positive 0.30 she'll be hard to catch. Or will she? Mark2061mn sitting in back of the pack leaped to 2nd with a bomb Warrior Up paying $605 claims and with only 2 winners in 26 bets, he shows this is a long term game of hitting the big one. Sorry I cannot post the excel sheet. Still trying to figure out what happened. Enjoy your afternnoon at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh Spyder out. http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/b...ogameet103.jpg
