Get Pete's book "The Winning Contest Player" plenty of strategies from the best contest players...

I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have via pm.

There are quite a few free ones but those are tough as people sometimes just pick the same number each race and win. I think you will enjoy it. I never did one at a site.

Thanks guys. Good to know I can play the online ones since they’re cheaper but also because most of the ones on site at Monmouth are bad days for me.

I’ll probably have more questions after I play a tournament or two.
