Two More Days
 
I'll update tonight so you know what you need to make a final move to the finish.

Remember to get all 36 bets in and if you're behind you might as well swing for the fences. If you have less than 36 bets it's -40 for each bet you don't make.

Good luck and hope you enjoyed it.

UPDATE - We have a horse race
 
1 Attachment(s)
With one day to go giant moves by herkhorse, trifecta, zaf, immanuel kent, and swedejxn have thrown what looked like a cake walk for hi im god into a real race to the finish.

hi im god +0.66 2 bets left
herkhorse +0.34 3 bets left
trifecta +0.29 1 bet left
zaf +0.25 0 bets left (you hit with your 37th bet but would have not been enough to win)
immanual ket +0.13 4 bets left
swedejxn +0.03 1 bet left
pmacdaddy +0.00 1 bet left

Now, you guys chasing need approx. $220 to $500 respectively worth to catch god if he doesn't connect with his two bets so need to look for some long shots.

If you see anything wrong let me know.

I'll go over everything tomorrow and make a final standings.

Good luck

Tough to compete with god! I was hoping you would let Medaglia win at 70-1 just for the irony. You're no fun.:wf

herkhorse 09-01-2008 06:19 PM

big Thanks To The Spyder!

felt bad beating another tom waits fan, if it's any consolation.

herkhorse 09-01-2008 07:15 PM

Confetti all around! Had lots of fun, Spyder was the real winner. I was all out just to break even.

Final Standing
 
GOD WINS!

hi im god finsihed in style yesterday with a $204 winner Vineyeard Haven in the Hopeful to extend and cement his victory. hi im god ended with a very impressive 10/36 with 27.8% wins and an ROI of +0.91!

Second was Herkhorse with +0.34
Third was trifecta with +0.29

Ten players out of the 27 that went the distance ended up even or in the plus column which is pretty impressive. Eleven players had no winners and many ditched the contest when things were no going well.

Overall 1,102 bets were made producing 138 winners for 12.5% wins.

The prize will be announced later today. Although it was a bit of work I enjoyed keeping up with the contest. Hope you did as well and I learned a great deal. About 48 weeks til we do it again.
