I'm going to place the bet at Calder sometime around 3:00 today. Let me know by then.

how much is one share?

I just want to point out how careful you need to be about something like this. It would easy for there to be ambiguities that could lead to anything from hard feelings up to lawsuits.

For example, what happens if the total money paypal'd to you is greater than the cost of the ticket? Who gets what share then?

What happens if someone WU's you money but you don't pick it up before the bet goes in? Are they still in? What happens if they WU you at 3:15pm?

What happens if you hit a monster payout--how will you handle it tax-wise? Will you send 1099's to your partners next January?

You have to think about as many of these things ahead of time as possible.

Change of plans. I'm going to place the bet right now. I'm assuming no one wants in. If anyone decides they are interested, email me at justindew76@yahoo.com before 3:00pm today. If we can't work out the details, I will go it alone. No big deal.
