DTers did a pretty good job in Contest Week #2. The rate of loss was 8.1%, about half the track take. That was good enough to bring us back to where we are now losing at around the track take overall.

This week there were 62 cappers, so the amount bet was $744. The winning tickets added to $684. (684-744)/744 = -8.1%

Here are the overall results through the first 5 races of the contest:
# of picks: 318
Amount bet: $1908
Amount won: $1620.50
% return: (1620.50-1908)/1908 = -15.1%
