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 ?

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.

Already have plans for this!

In...... How far before post do wagers have to be posted by??

Do they get posted in this thread?

TheSpyder 07-19-2010 06:50 PM

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....

I decided to join through 7-28....unless I'm winning.

I will be posting my selections elsewhere as I don't like any of the players here.




Won't be following your stupid rules, either.

Spyder, don't tell me the leaderboard spreadsheet is caput. :eek:

TheSpyder 07-22-2010 06:45 AM

Spreadsheet is still in, but you have no idea the time to check up to 100 wagers a day (many with wrong race#, etc) so this way if everyone keeps up with their winners and gives me the information, it should take 20% of the time.

Good Luck!

Appreciate the effort you put in, this year I think I will let someone else take my premature %*^&^* award that I was so proud to win last yr. :tro:
