I added Ellis Park to the Mix Guys. Figured when Churchill shuts down at end of June we have a track to replace it.

I will run the tally each day someone plays in the following order below irrespective of who is leading. I like to copy and paste the standing from the previous day. However, near the end of the game I will order the standings based on performance. I will also start computing the ROI after several players reach about $500 risked.

Tally order:

Prof
G&T
BHP
Michel
Mel
Jack

Jack1999 · May 23, 2021

Play how you want following the Parameters set forth. Can play a straight wager only, just an exacta, or both. in any 1 Race.

Jack1999 · May 23, 2021

I consider all 6 of us as competent Handicappers with different styles, and ups and downs of course.

Observations on the field assembled.

Prof: Clear cut favorite imo based on past performance. Makes his own figures. Disciplined Player. Tough customer.
G&T: Consistent capper. Horse tourney contest player. Uses the DRF to cap.
BHP: His best efforts online have come in these scaled down contests. Solid effort at Oaklawn recently. I believe he is the only software user of the group.
Michel: Old school Handicapper. Uses the form and pen to cap. When he is on watch out.
Mel: Another consistent capper. Horse tourney contest player as well. Uses the Brisnets to cap.
Jack: Action player. trying to get a more disciplined approach to the game. Horse tourney contest player and I use the Brisnets to cap.

Jack1999 · May 24, 2021

Just to be clear. You can wager $8 max on a win bet and also $8 max on the place bet in the same race.

OK BHP good deal. You usually do well in these low stakes contests. So expecting a good effort from you. GL.

Michelangelo · May 24, 2021

Well guys I've never bet like this since I first started betting many thousands of ripped tickets ago. So I'm out of my betting comfort zone.

But I'll give it my best.

Good group of guys is what matters to me. We'll have fun. And pray for that elusive positive ROI when the two grand wallet is empty.

They installed you as the 3/5 favorite, Prof. I'm just aiming to be in range by the sixteenth pole.

Best of luck to all.

Jack1999 · May 24, 2021

OK Michel Appreciate you taking a Spin on the Game. I know it may be out of your wheelhouse, but I really think the smaller stakes will be beneficial to your bottom line. Overall the contest parameters reward consistency. See what happens and Good luck. Thx,
