Well we are half way through this grueling contest. I say grueling as except for a few, this has been like being caught with your fly down during your wedding ceremony. It has been very humbling indeed.
Many of us have wagered far too much with still half the campaign to go. This has helped some and hurt others. Condolences to Fantini33 who now rests at 0-35. (Better hit a very big one with your last bet.) Don't feel too bad through as there are 18 out of 48 of us that have not brought home one winner so you’re not alone.
Mcclem0822 is leading actually showing a profit (+0.24) but has used 30 bets to get there.
Hi im god also shows a profit (+0.09) which may not be as big, but has done this with 5/13 winners leaving 23 bets left to catch up and looks the favorite at this time to take this contest down.
Rontheman1964 clipping a 30% win rate has cooled off to be third with 16 bets left (-0.10).
Sdjcom has only had two winners but both bombs and is forth with 13 bets left (-0.18)
Fifth is Cowgirlintexas who is 7/28 and -0.28 with only 8 bets left to make up ground.
Cowgirlintexas, Immanual Kent, and Ryonker have had a strong week making up a great deal of ground.
Then there are 21 contestants that have less than 15 bets who have every opportunity to make up all the ground. Most notable is Ntamm1216 who is in 11th with two wins with just two bets.
Attached is a zip file thus far. As always please let me know if there is a mistake. PM me with all details such as your post numbers, horses bet, etc.
Good Luck,
The Spyder

Thanks for all the hard Spyder, we appreciate it. 30 Bets, wow looks like I just may have to pick my spots the last 3 weeks.

Bump...

Since I'm running the contest, a couple things:

1. If there is a discrepency for the first half, you have til Friday to advise me, otherwise its locked.

2. No new players. You all have endured the first half and it's not fair for someone to join in now.

3. Remember, you get 36 bets and are penalized $40 per race for bets not used so keep track and make sure you make 36. I'll know if you go over and advise.

Good Luck. Note, for the excel spread sheet thus far, see the post below posted Monday.
