"The scorer will divide the amount won by the amount wagered to determine the Return on Investment and compare that with the ROI by each of the other players with positive results."

That's right and then you multiply the number you come out with by 100 and that is the percentage. I think Ruffians was 116% and Don's was 157%, but I could be wrong as I am mathematically challenged.

I think that's in the ballpark when I plugged it in.

JOLY
Thanks for taking the time
To offer a detailed complicated
Somewhat convoluted explanation

In all the years I’ve played I don’t recall
When the MOST MONEY “ LOST 🙀

SO EVEN THO I DID SEIZE THE GRAY
EVEN WITH THE MOST MONEY OF THE DAY
SOME TECHNOLOGICAL IDIOSYNCRASIE
MADE MY VICTORY JUST GO AWAY 😿

OK now everyone, I'm just a mere retired Architect of 47 years who has never been that great with math but very good at geometry and trigonometry and the x,y,z axis, which has absolutely nother to do with this sport or wagering or ROI . . . although I do understand that my cryptic resoning to Ruffian now had a pretty good ROE, Return On Explanation. Good stuff y'all but it's time to move on.

No longer will I sit on the sideline and continue to watch this sexism and male chauvinism CHARADE of Rufian33.
This so called cheating explanation is pure BS.
There's no other way around it. As I see it, Even if Don was in the negative column the winner would still not be Rufian...so that alone speaks volume.
I've seen the negative remarks here by two individuals who seems to have issues with Rufian. Funny though she's a much better capper than all of you and she doesn't even cap the races.. That's how good she is.
And for you Don to come up with some lame ass excuses instead of doing the right thing by rejecting this mistakes baffles me.
So I refuses to take part or be a part of this CHARADE. Funny, money not even involved here....why all this? It's clearly Rufian leading the pack and this is just a blatant attempt to derail her, shame on all of you. How do you sleep at night? Oh that's right, no problem sleeping at all cause you all have no conscience...Grow one!!!
No bother, I'm out of here...Unlike Rufian I have a clear conscience. She should quit so that all you ladies could bitch among yourselves.
And as for you Don, Shame on you for donning a military uniform. Where's your discipline? And oh yeah, I am a retired US army Disabled veterans P&T and you all are LOSERS.

Cruzan....Thanks for your service.

Rules are made to be modified. Once in place, they should stand for the season.

Since wagers are made so early, a scratch of 50% (or more) of your bankroll should not be a determination of the final results.

Same for not using 100%....yes I did forget on one $200 weekend.

Just my .02

Now I'm off to chase whitey.

Let's face it, people of a certain age are going to forget things and I'm sure that is what happened and then on top of that there was a scratch, but it was no great conspiracy. I think nobody was very happy about it and a change in the rules could be appropriate at the end of the year.

I agree Cal. A minimum amount should be wagered in the ROI and we can do that easily if the players want it. With that being said it is still an ROI contest and not a most money won contest. Sometimes you just can't wager the full $100 bankroll.
