Default So next this contest Points Picls and ROI Starts . . .

Next Saturday!!! It will be the end of the racing season for the contest and those of us coming over (and it may take al little while) from TheCallToPost will be finishing up the 2014 handicapping year next Saturday to crown:

1. Announce the Top Ten going for the Cup
2. The Regular Season Champ
3. The ROI Champ, and most importantly
4. The Winner of the Gallivan Cup based on Breeders Cup Handicapping two day event.

With other festivities involved as well. We don't play with real money but we have a WHOOOOOOLE LOT of FUNNNNNNNN and, knowingly or not, we become much better handicappers in the process.

Look in on us (see how it works) and please think about trying this out starting the second Saturday after the Breeders Cup. Ya'know, ya just might like it?

We are happy to be here and look forward to a long relationship.

Danke',
DonGUido

For any new players who might consider joining our contests I score the ROI. I have stats from 2008 spanning 345 weeks that I have been with the group. At $100 a week a positive ROI ain't easy but we have two players NJ Stinks and Digger who are still in the black. I don't know about anyone else but I have become a much better handicapper learning how to structure my bets with this format. But I lose every year so I still have a lot of room for improvement (a lot of room). I look forward to trying a few contests at the Derby Trail although I am mostly a weekend capper. Thanks to the Derby Trail for keeping me involved in furthering my racing education. Oh yeah...........its been a long time since I've been a foal <ha>.

Not the first time you've been foaled or is it fooled. You are way to humble as one of our best ROI cappers for sure. I challenge anyone to beat you at this and me or JolyB at Points. Pitty the fools!!! Might happen a week or two but not in the long run, never happen.

Baaaaring it on newbies to this contest. But better to wait until our new handicapping year starts the second week after Breeders Cup. Let the wanna bees join in.

Sounds simple . . don't it???
