by the way, the $15/$6 rule is a great rule that I have never seen, I wish other contests had that rule, save people from chasing $40 horses at the end to try and screw good cappers

I am taking Hooves in this one. I have seen time and again Hooves putting up big scores on this site as well as the old one. Hooves hammered a tri at Santa Anita a while back that needed 2 Brinks trucks to unload, wasn't it a 6 digit score Hooves? I mean come on, he is the ultimate playa!

I prefer an on-going contest, but not sure how we could do that format.... like the standard X-amount starting voucher with an X-race minimum of bets with an X-minimum to bet on each race....but your right on the phony ways of winning since we aren't betting real money and anyone can dump on a prayer in the last race......

The best way to do it is probably just to pick winners the old fashion way. The way you are capping things it limits upside anyway and only 8-1s need to be found....might as well make it a straight WIN fest.

Just pick the whole card with top 3 in case of scratches. What's wrong with that?

Do you know a single good handicapper that plays a WHOLE card and wins? I'll answer for you so you don't sound stupid...answer is No...if you pick a couple of horses that you like per race card, it shows true handicapping ability, not picking three horses in every race.....

Actually, I believe the best handicappers come out when they have to pick every race and mot cherry pick...remember, WE ARE NOT BETTING REAL MONEY HERE so what does it matter...you don't have to wager on every race
