Vbookie Contest Fl Race 10 11-27-06

[Jerfi]

RULES FOR THE ROI CONTEST

1. There will be ONE race selected for each day of the week, Monday through Saturday.

2. You MUST bet at least one horse in each race. The MINIMUM bet must be at least $10, unless
you don't have that much Vcash left in your account. Then, it will require your Vcash total.

3. MINIMUM bet can be split among two or more horses. $3 on # 1, $ 5 on $2, and $2 on #9 counts
as a $10 bet.

4. You may HIDE your bet, if you like. This would prevent folks piggy backing on your bet,
seeing how much you bet, and betting a few $$ more. (Thanks to Scottsdad for this suggestion!)

5. On Friday, after that race, I'll post the contest leaders who are in the top 10% ... or the top
10, whichever seems to be most helpful.

6. The winner will be the one who has the largest Vcash total, after the race is official.

7. IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW MEMBERS: The way the VBookie system is set up, you
automatically get $500 in your VCash account. You are STILL LIMITED to the $100
starting limit, and any bet that would take you over that amount will DISQUALIFY you!

8. RULES ARE IMPORTANT! Observe them, for fairness in the contest, and for fun for all!

************************************************** ************************************************** ***************
Subcontest: This is where you will bet on the 'capper you expect to win! A part of your Vcash total
will go into this side bet, if you care to make it. Please note: The subcontest will be OVER after
Thursday's race, although the winner will not be posted till after Saturday's race.

How are the odds going to be selected? I'm going to start alphabetically by track, and take the first
track that has twelve horses, and just go right down the line on the M/L to select the odds on the
cappers! PLEASE NOTE: this is strictly random, and is not, in any way, an indication of the
capper's ability! We had to choose some way, and this is the way we chose!

Good luck on all bets!

Dumb Question.....The $100 starting cash is not renewed each day, is it? You must plan your wagering based on the entire week. For instance, if you bet your $100 on one horse and lose, you're done for the contest?

Thanks, never played vbookie before.

I am new to this site as well, but for this contest if you have 100 on one horse and he loses you are out of luck! Good Luck

[spicytomat]

love the idea behind this contest..... would like to see more like it...great for practice on my part ..as i get to see others bets too.. when i practice by watching races and trying to handicap them i dont have the option of seeing the why or why not certain horses have been bet

good luck to everyone....$)

How great everyhorse was bet!! I assume people are doing this one with the goal in mind to win for pride. Everyone having a different winner is great!!

[bettowin]

Does that mean if you bet the $100 on the first day, you cannot bet again, even if you win?

Look's like i'm not the only one that is confused. Have read the rules but still not sure of the way to read them.

[Tassey25]

No if you win your bankroll will be used for tomorrows contest, if you lose your entire $100 at anytime I believe you are done.

*********************************************

RULES .... if you bet $100 today and LOST .. you are out of the contest. You have no more money, even though the VCash will reset you to $50, automatically.

In tomorrow's race, you can bet whatever you have won, today, in addition to your $100.

EXAMPLE: CSmith won $15 today, so his Vcash total should read $115. He can bet any or all of that, tomorrow.

So, everyone who selected #1 as the winner has more than $100 in their Vcash total.

If you lost, today, then your Vcash total should reflect something less than $100, unless you bet the full $100 and lost it all. Then, it will say $50 for you, if I am understanding the system correctly.

Any more questions, please fire away!

Jerfi I had the correct winner, I know it was only 12 dollars but I did, my balance reflects it so that is will work. You probably did not look at the peanuts bets.

H, Djunior... well, you see the same screen that I do, I'm sure... and it's not a peanut bet, when you make one and win! :)

It's simply that your bet is not showing up on my screen.

I'll have to look into this, tomorrow!
