Mid WEEK 1/6/2010 Tampa Bay Downs

[Dusty]

Happy New Year! Let's try TAMPA

Rules from Riff Raff

Each player will select one horse in each race (using program #s only) and will receive the payouts on a hypothetical $2 WPS bet. The original wager will not be deducted from the payout. All picks must be entered, or amended, prior to 1st race post time. No alternates are to be posted; late scratches, or early scratches not amended prior to 1st race post time, will be replaced with the post time favorite (as per DRF charts).

The Winner will be the player with the highest $ total at the conclusion of the card.

In the event of a tie for the winner, we'll use the following tiebreakers:
-Most Winners
-Highest Win Payoff
-Highest Place Payoff
-Highest Show Payoff
-Earliest original time stamp


The Loser will be the player with the lowest $ total at the conclusion of the card.

In the event of a tie for the loser, we'll use the following tiebreakers:
-Least amount of correct Win selections
-Least amount of correct Place selections
-Least amount of correct Show selections
-Worst finishing position of all horses played (as per DRF charts)
-Latest original time stamp



The Perk:
The winning player gets to select the track for the next week's contest.

The Catch:
The losing player gets to score the next week's contest.

Dusty ~ Tampa eh!
Not taking any chances playin around with Mother Nature are ya!

I was afraid LA/FG would have had a lot of scratches Saturday due to rains but lucked out with that

SO much goin on in North, North-east, midwest with horrible weather that is a safer bet with Fla or CA tracks!

As I sit here lookin at the Snow fallin I sometimes wonder WHY I moved from Florida (Lauderdale)

THEN I remembered!
HUMIDITY
FLEAS ON PETS
3 INCH FLYING ROACHES (palmetto)
Traffic, Noise, Sirens...
NO mountains

Here: NONE Of the Above!

So in winter I muse over that but we do have average 340 days of sunshine and many mild winter days in 50-70 temps
so its a trade-off

Then in Springtime
as flowers awaken I bloom again!

:evil:

[Dusty]

Ha ha - I do so miss the snow...but hey.. anyway yes tried to play it safe and the card looks challenging!
