Twin Spires Bvqe Re-do
 

The Contest Has Been Rescheduled For January 3, 2009. 5 Extra Seats Have Been Added As Well.

Is this the first time that you have ever put a thread in the correct forum? :)

lord almighty! there is hope for me yet!

:tro:

Opening day at Gulfstream....

:)

And you probably won't be able to play it on TS.....

I just tried to log onto BetPad and saw that TwinSpires bought them out.

I wonder how long I will be able to bet thru T.S..As I live in Texas and all..

Not sure how I got away with it on BetPad to be honest..Never questioned it, but was just soooo thankful that I could make bets from home..

I see that they have Contests and stuff... COOL..........:)

realize this.............never live in a state that doesnt allow internet betting, like hawaii, texas, arizona, etc.:zz:

Kinda funny because I moved back from Cali. when they legalized pari-mutual wagering here and now it's going to hell-in-a-hand basket..Texas racing future is not looking so great....
I am just Thankful that I am able to wager online...I would hate to have to drive to Delta all the time. Course I might save a few $$ by having to do that too..lol

I realize they probably don't update their calendars that often, but.....

We are three days from opening day at Tampa and I don't see it on Youbet's or Twinspires' calendars for Saturday.

If I can only play Tampa on track, I will flip....and probably get fired.

I think I saw somewhere that Tampa signed agreement with all ADW's, but don't take my word for it

yeh, good luck to you gus! thet dropped down to 12 races and also added my hated track gulfstream. i cannot pick a winner there ever......:tro:

Thanks for posting this Gus, gonna play along and see how I would have done if I have gotten in.....

Beast, Good luck to you as well. I feel like I'm playing with house money because I was pretty brutal in the original contest on 11/29/08. Not that I'm going to do any better, but these races are more to my liking.

Sounds good, I hope more DT'ers follow suit and play along.

I might still get in, I really like the races, the trip to Vegas is a little tempting, gotta see.....

are thier any cash prizes for this contest?

if there isnt any prizes then you are probably paying
250 bucks for a trip to vegas. you could probabbly booka weekend trip for 300,400 dollars otherwise.

You understand that this is a qualifier for the DRF/NTRA right?

First place is 10k also

Good Luck to all playing, bring home the :$:

Right On!

Just playing along to see how I would have done. If any good, I might print up and send in attached to resume to DRF to become new resident 'capper.:D That is, if someone already hasn't nailed down the position. :rolleyes:

Best of luck guys!!! Bring it home.

wow, sick of pouring over this 12 race mess! now i will just trust in luck:tro:

Since the NFL wildcard weekend is ready to kick off today and the College Bowl Season is coming to a closure. I'll approach the 12 races as if were a football game. I'll break it into 4 quarters and stick to my game plan throughout the 1st quarter (1st 3 races). Depending on where I stand after the 1st quarter, I'll make my adjustment accordingly. Towards the end I have 3 hail mary plays (All 20-1 ML) in hopes to get me back into contention (Contest R10 - GP R7 #9 Just Julian - 1/2 to Golden Missile has been disappointing in his career, but is capable of lighting up the tote board if he is able to duplicate his Delaware Park effort three back.) (Contest R11 - GP R8 - #13 Bullsbay - is in career top form and looks ready for a peak performance.) (Contest R12 - SA R4 - #3 Digital Magic - 1st time starter for the Southern Equine Stable by Grand Slam shows a long string of nice works.) as long as I can recover the on-side kicks. The competition will be fierce.

Good Luck to those playing.

Good Luck Gus:tro:

Thanks Kev

WOW, AFTER THAT CONTEST, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT BY A TRUCK! TOTALLY SPENT. I WAS 19TH WITH 3 RACES TO GO. I ONLY HAD 1 ENTRY AS WELL, MOST OF THE QUALIFIERS HAD 2. SO WITH 3 RACES TO GO I HAD ZEROED IN ON DELIGHTFUL KISS IN THE HALS HOPE. BUT SWITCHED THE PICK WITH 2 MINUTES TO GO! SO TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I MISSED GOING TO VEGAS BY $4.40, AND I ENDED UP IN 31ST PLACE. GOT MY 250 BACK, BUT MISSED THE SHORT PUTT WITH 3 HOLES TO GO!:zz:

Thats a tough beat! But you gotta love these contests especially if you are in contention. 250 bucks is too steep for me for entering a contest. 100 dollars is maximum for me. I cant wait till the Lone Star Qualifiers to start in Feb. cause they dont have the stupid $2 W/P wagers instead they have 12 wagers with 4 Ex, 4 WPS, 2 TRI, 2 Supers

Beast, congrats on your nice run.

My selections were brutal pretty much all day and it shows in my placing. I usually never second guess myself and in this contest I mulled over some nice winners, but never pulled the trigger. I enjoyed it and would consider participating again.
