Revised 4/1/2008:
All members of the board are invited to participate in our monthly handicapping contest, including those new members who might have joined in the last several months. If you are not listed on our standings board, give me a PM and I will add you for April.
The contest rules beginning in April 2008 remain the same as in 2007, with one exception:
Effective April 2, 2008, all exotic wagers will have the following stipulation: If the wager is not hit at the track, a member does not win that wager in our contest either, even if he/she has the correct horses (numbers) in our contest. Simply put, no payout at the track, no payout in the contest. The rest of the contest rules remain the same:
1) $2500 initial bankroll
2) $50 minimum bet per card
3) $500 maximum per card, including final night
4) Maximum single wager of $100 [see footnote]
5) No limit on # of races played each night
6) All bets must be placed by 7:00PM, unless there is a special post time earlier than 7:00PM, with the following exception:
7) If there is a scratch that becomes known after 7PM but before the actual "off time" of the race in question, a contestant may alter his bet for the race in question. The amended bet must appear in a separate posting in the thread for the night in question, which will time stamp the posting and differentiate it from the original posted bet. The amended bet must be posted prior to the off time of the race. I will use the off times posted on Northfield's website.
8) Only registered members can enter.
[Footnote:] Although the maximum single wager is $100, those making wheel or key bets may exceed $100 in total wagers as long as the base bet is less than $100.
