"DRF ROTD" Contests.. Experience? Thoughts?

[sdjcom]

Steve,
they are fun and makes you think about the wagering end more than the handicapping. One thing i learned instead of a 4 horse box if you have a strong opinion about 1 horse and he wins you can hit the $1 tri 4 times, i think this is a better bet than the 4-horse box unless you have 2-3 decent odds horses in the box. also since many people play the contest you have to hit the tri multiple times to win the contests,so this made me think about betting some tri's for real like this. i know the probabilties of the box is higher
but this has changed my mind a little about tri's,

The contests are great. It has been incentive to handicap a little everyday and let me get my feet wet with DRF formulator. The fact that they utilize tracks I don't always wager on has made it challenging and fun.
