Wager on Call to Post Players going for the Gallivan Cup here . . . Odds Up
 

Win bets only. You have $100 to wager all on one player or split in among no more than 4 players. Again, win bets only. No exotics.

ODDS to follow . . . with my usual trite and trivial comments;) . . . and we all know any of these entries can will the Cup. And all players can wager not just the top 10. And JB again this year will figure the payouts . . . thankfully not me :zz:

JolyB - 5/2 crem dem la crem, one of the most consistent top payers we have in the group, year in year out, BC Day wins are not his cup of tea but to bet against him may be foolish pleasure
Ruffian - 3/1 unorthodox bettor, but nails the big payoffs (go figure) and has figured out the points contest being muc,h much better than years past . . . the feline queen is a solid wager
Real Quiet - 3/1 as well among the best on the board and is only better'd winning the Cup by one player here so on the big days he's always a threat
Criminal Type - 4/1 is the solidly unpredictable (HUH??) and along with his Colorado partner has the points game pretty much in tow . . . his wagers may even rival the gotcha picks of our feline queen
DonGuido - 5/1 missed nearly a 1/4 of the handicapping year and his points numbers show it, but with his 5th possible BC win this year, he may just have to be inducted into the Gallivan Cup Hall of Fame . . . "dark horse" of the year
Cruzan200246 - 7/1 likely the "wise guy" pick because when you least expect it he nails the points and ROI contests with pride
Ryonker1 - 8/1 Never to be overlooked as he is sneaky good and at these odds the return is hard to overlook
Plenilune - 10/1 is the "wise lady" pick because she may know more about and care more about this sport than all of us put together and can match skills with any player here
Digger 12/1 - has been hot lately and coming into form at the right time . . . nice long shot play
swedejxn 12/1 - does not play the contests that often but when you see him in the gate you take notice another nice long shot play

My abacus has just been serviced and is ready to go. I can promise no takeout and zero breakage. Now what racebook can offer that?:rolleyes:

Joly....can we do nickle Grand Slams on the field? Revenge is a "dish best served cold" <grin>

Sorry, only offered at a NYRA track. Thank goodness.:p

I want some takeout!!!:$::eek: After all these years . . . and of course I'll share with you!?:p

OK- I'll go with $15 each on Cruzan200246, Plenilune, and Swedejxn
and then the other $55 on Ruffian

In checking past performances on the last 5 times we've played Santa Anita or part of the card there- Ruffian's record is
2 firsts
1 second
1 third

Hits the board often-

Best of luck everyone

thanks
Ron

She's possessssssed!!!??? No doubt.

With no odds up yet??? Why not!:)

$75 on Don Guido

$25 on Criminal Type

$50 On Real Quiet For His Year Round Entertainment :tro:

$50 On Criminal Type For Many Years Of Friendship :{>:

$100 on Real Quiet

$60 Criminal Type
$40 Plenilune

Wagers on the players must be posted by first BC race Friday. Thanks for playing.

$33 On Don for his dedication to our forum all year when he could
be using that time for his own personal needs :$:

$33 On Plenilune for the same reasons :$:

$33 On Real Quiet for his distorted humorous results :$:

Saving a buck for a Beer ;)

$30 - Ryonker

$30 - Cruzan200246

$40 - on myself (even though I've historically done badly on the BC)

$40 Ruffian-333

$30 Real Quiet

$20 Criminal Type

$10 Digger

Final odds for the Gallivan Cup are somewhat different than Don Guido's very polite morning line. We had 8 bettors who wagered a total of $799 (there is always someone in the game who saves his last buck for a beer - a wise choice, CT:))

The final odds, expressed in the form that you would see them on the tote board, are as follows:

RQ: 7-2
CT: 5-1
DG: 7-1
Ruff: 8-1
Plen: 9-1
Cruz: 17-1
JB: 19-1
Ron: 26-1
Swede: 53-1
Digger: 79-1

Payoffs to be announced shortly after the Gallivan Cup competition has been declared official.

When Real Quiet runs off the board Digger should have saved a dollar for the bus ride home (grin).

Sorry, RQ . . . I am not starting off well but . . . there's always tomorrow.

$75 Cruzan200246
$25 Joly B

JolyB @ 19-1 . . . What?!?!?

Not only that, I was the only one to bet on me. Obviously, all of our players know how poorly I do when faced with such a wealth of possible choices.

Cruzan, I'm sorry but I can't accept your entry. Since we are covering both days, the entries closed when the first BC race was run on Friday.:(

Ok my bad, I had no idea. Thanks

Gallivan Cup Wagers - Final Results
 

Congrats to Ruffian on her win of the BC Points contest.

We had two players who picked Ruff to win, and they took down the pool in our "handicap the handicappers" contest.

The winner of this competition was Ryonker1, who wagered $55 and received a payoff of $462.58 (isn't it great to have no takeout and no breakage?). Ron even explained his reasons for his selection - a very good use of our internal past performances.

Second place goes to Plenilune, who wagered $40 on Ruff and received a payoff of $336.42.

Well done to both of you.
