ya your records show 25.40 - 6.00 plus 19.40. for the contest 23.40.

mine would be 6 - 6 even, for the contest 2.

so you are ahead 19.40 by normal scoring and 21.40 by p2 scoring .. which is why my original point is valid after all.

when you don't subtract the 2 bucks there is an advantage to people picking lower odds horses.

 

[RetroVK]

which is fine for a contest because we all know the rules ahead of time. I just wanted to be sure we were scoring it that way so I can adjust and pick more favorites.

Agreed. Play was generous enough to set up and run the contest, so however he wants it is fine with me.

I just realized that I edited my post after winning, to make it easier for P2 to see what my winning pick paid. I was reading the rules and read that editing is an issue for obvious reasons. Immediately after making my selection, I made another post commenting on how I know my pick will win as it is Schrutes, 2nd choice and his first choice lost. This 2nd post that isn't edited and is still before post time should be enough to still make my selection legit, despite being "edited" post race to show the payout.

Will not make this mistake again. If anyone has issue with this please refer to my second post immediately following which also indicates my selection.

 

[bloodhound]

just read where I can edit my post so here is the call for 7/27....even before the race??
