Belmont stakes betting contest thread
Posted on 6/4/14 at 9:02 pm
Posted on 6/4/14 at 9:02 pm
Rules:
Just the Belmont Card : the 10 stakes races ( Races 2-11).
Personally, I haven't been able to pick just one horse in a race in, well....ever, so I still like 3 $2 bets per race (1W, 1P, 1S). As I said, before, this can be in any combination of 1-3 horses.
Picks must be in this thread by 11AM EST on 6/7/2014. If anyone knows an administrator, perhaps we can have the thread locked at that time.
Honestly, while I plan to put my money on the line elsewhere, I think it will just be a whole lot easier to play for bragging rights in this forum. I am sure there is a way to PayPal money exchanges, but I, alas, will be swamped that week at work, and really rather not deal with that end of things.
I will be more than happy to add up all the "winnings" at the end of the day and post them later Saturday night or Sunday AM. However, anyone can also easily add up their own in case I add wrong.....which has not been unheard of.
Keep this thread to your picks only. There can be a separate discussion thread. This will make it a whole lot easier to make sure all picks are recorded.

Never really done a 3 bet per race contest. I'm used to the bankroll contests with certain must bet races. It's a shame I'll be gone all day and not get to watch these.

I know I'm not supposed to post in here until I make selections, but I see a few people have central banker picked. He is a scratch. Just wanted to let y'all know.
Also, what happens if there is a late scratch in this contest?

Should just be the amount returned.

Not betting this year. Have been to and bet on the Belmont several times . . always a blast. But this year I want to just sit back, relax and hopefully witness history.

Marriedtothemusic also scratched. Well I'm assuming since she just ran 2 minutes ago at Belmont.

Scratch bug has got me with Central Banker and Marriedtothe music. Guess we need a ruling. Make substitute picks or just a refund. OP's call if you ask me.
Posted on 6/6/14 at 5:45 pm to George Blanda
I sayif it is before the cutoff time make substitute picks, but I'm not running this show.
Need to make decisions on scratches after cutoff.
Banker was given legend too close to race time. Really, people? Check withdrawal times before a grade 1
(Though I'm secretly happy . Like to see it happen to stall)
(I'm an a-hole. We wanted that horse)

This is just for the contest. Nothing on this card fits my profile of a playable race, so I'm not putting real money on any of them.
