As before, you will be allowed 36 $20 win bets during the meet. You can make these 36 bets anytime over the meet. The person with the best ROI is the winner.

I will be changing the format somewhat in allowing each person to keep up with their own numbers. (I'll explain later).

For now, as we have done before, anyone willing to donate a prize, let me know by sending me a PM. Last year we had horse pictures, books, baseball stuff, and Steve threw in his usual nice DT swag. I will once again supply the trophy to the winner.

Good luck and enjoy your afternoon at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Good point. I knew it changed and should have checked. yes, it will be 40 wagers, although I'm not sure that will help me!

This is what happen when the beer companies started making 30 packs... like 24 wasnt enought.... LOL

I think if someone goes 0-40..... a prize should be involved ! After all anyone can pick a winner.....right ?

Already have plans for this!

[Payson Dave]

In...... How far before post do wagers have to be posted by??

Do they get posted in this thread?

[TheSpyder]

They give the post time. So, one minute. I can assure you if someone wants to cheat, that will not be possible. Both years, Hi I'm God (2008 winner) and Golfer (2009 winner) were well clear of the field.

As a multiple time 0-36 player I'd be an overlay at 7-5....

Spyder, I would highly recommend stipulating in the rules that one has to make all 40 plays, so there is no manipulation in the ending ROI.

Ie. Sitting on leads for instance.
