Breeders Cup Extras, Gallivan Cup Odds - 11/4 UPDATE
 

WORK IN PROGRESS!!! Patience grasshoppahs!!! :)

We lost our cable and internet during a windstorm yesterday. One of the downsides of living in heavily wooded area. Am posting this from a wi-fi hotspot. Cable company has "promised" restoration of the line by late tomorrow, so I'm still hoping to join in all of the BC festivities, albeit somewhat tardily.

Joly, and this has happened to you before. Was it Breeders Cup week then too?

I hope you don't have Suddenlink.

Top 10 Going for The 2020 Gallivan Cup

We each have a $100 bank roll to bet on who will win the Cup. You can make 4 wagers max (all on one player or split it up on several if you like) with you and they can only be win bets. Please make you Gallivan Cup player win bet wager below where it says "Gallivan Cup Wagers go here".

Odds to win The Gallivan Cup

1. Cal828: 3-1 Cal wins the handicapping year Points Trophy and although a little cooled off lately, he is a real winner
2. DonGuido: 5-2 Don ended the year with a THREEPEAT and has won the Cup several times, we'll see if he can do it again
3. JolyB: 5-2 Truly one our best all around handicappers, hasn't had too much luck going for the Cup but don't overlook him
4. Ruffian-333: 4-1 Well our Colorado Kitten is the "Wise Guy" bet to me, often in the money and is a proven winner
5. Real Quiet: 5-1 This guy is sneaky good and has also had success winning the Cup before, at pretty good odds too watch out
6. Plenilune: 7-1 This young lady, having a rough real life year, is capable for sure of nailing the Cup. She is all a "Wise Guy" bet
7. Roamin42: 10-1 Roamin's prowess is usually not the Points Contest but he can be looked at as a live long shot
8. Cruzan200246: 6-1 Cruz has had good success in the Points Contest this year, watch out for him to pull an upset
9. NJ Stinks: 12-1 We need NJ in the Points gateagain is a top ROI player but knows the horses probably better than most here
10. Indian Hemp: 10-1 IH, I hope he shows up in the Points gate too. Along with NJ he's tops in ROI Wagers

DonGuido - $25 on Ruffian-333, $25 on Plenilune and $50 on himself

Back on line and ready to go. Don Guido, I always enjoy your morning line and linemaker's comments for the handicapping the handicappers contest. One again you have made the odds on me much too low considering that I seem to always pick the wrong Euro in most of the turf races and have never been successful in the Gallivan Cup competition. But thanks for the implied compliment.

In the past I've tried to come up with the actual odds once all wagers have been placed and to tabulate the payoffs after the winner has been announced. If you would like, I'll plan on doing the same again this year.

Yes IB, please do so on the odds. Thank you and good that you're connected again.:)

Yes JB, please do so on the odds. Thank you and good that you're connected again.:)

You wager on the players based on odds to win the Gallivan with you $100. Simple All win bets. Does that answer your brain freeze :D? We've done this every year for years. ;)

[done in a hurry - subject to review and revision - any comments welcomed]

I know that the odds are calculated on the amounts wagered on each player so I think that maybe Don G. and I should be reversed. I think that he should be 5-1 and I should be 7-1 as he had more wagered on him($125) than I did.($105) or am I wrong about that?
