TVG seemingly did away with fantasy contests - and went to standard style handicapping contests.
They had a big one today. You had to make eight different $20 WP bets on the card at Del Mar.
Here is how my 8 bets performed.
Race 1: Win ($9.40)
Race 2: Win ($19.40)
Race 3: 5th (8/5 favorite)
Race 4: 6th (28/1 longshot)
Race 5: Win ($17.40)
Race 6: I passed
Race 7: Win ($17.60)
Race 8: Win ($13.20)
Race 9: Win ($9.40)
Race 10: I passed
Ok, so I win 6 out of 8 races ... and all the winners paid between $9.40 and $19.40
Believe it or not ... despite having a truly great run ... I only finished 2nd.
Whoever beat me won 5 out of 8 races .. and had a $34.40 winner. I can't whine about the guy having multiple entries either - because they changed the entering format. Just an insanely good handicapping performance by him ... I pulled one rabbit after another out of my ass and it still wasn't good enough.
