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 ?

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.
