WOW, AFTER THAT CONTEST, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN HIT BY A TRUCK! TOTALLY SPENT. I WAS 19TH WITH 3 RACES TO GO. I ONLY HAD 1 ENTRY AS WELL, MOST OF THE QUALIFIERS HAD 2. SO WITH 3 RACES TO GO I HAD ZEROED IN ON DELIGHTFUL KISS IN THE HALS HOPE. BUT SWITCHED THE PICK WITH 2 MINUTES TO GO! SO TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I MISSED GOING TO VEGAS BY $4.40, AND I ENDED UP IN 31ST PLACE. GOT MY 250 BACK, BUT MISSED THE SHORT PUTT WITH 3 HOLES TO GO!

Thats a tough beat! But you gotta love these contests especially if you are in contention. 250 bucks is too steep for me for entering a contest. 100 dollars is maximum for me. I cant wait till the Lone Star Qualifiers to start in Feb. cause they dont have the stupid $2 W/P wagers instead they have 12 wagers with 4 Ex, 4 WPS, 2 TRI, 2 Supers

Beast, congrats on your nice run.

My selections were brutal pretty much all day and it shows in my placing. I usually never second guess myself and in this contest I mulled over some nice winners, but never pulled the trigger. I enjoyed it and would consider participating again.
