2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest - round 13 Iowa

[NaBUru38]

Hif, folks! Welcome to round 12 of the 2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest. Iowa is the newest short oval, and a very fast one. Side by side racing is possible, but traffic will still be an issue. Also, the turn 1-2 bump gets bigger each year. We'll see if drivers go flatout or lift the throttle.

You must pick five different drivers and a manufacturer:

o- Premium - 2x money.
o- Regular - 1x money.
o- Alternative - 1x money; no 10-to-1 drivers or under.
o- Fresh ($ 20) - Rookies only.
o- Belt Challenge ($ 200) - Rahal vs Bourdais.
o- Manufacturer ($ 200) -

The regular money scale is:

o- 1st - $ 1000
o- 2nd - $ 600
o- 3rd - $ 400
o- 4th - $ 300
o- 5th - $ 200
o- 6-10th - $ 100

The stakes for Iowa are:

o- 3 to 1: Montoya, Castroneves, Dixon.
o- 6 to 1: Andretti, Kanaan, Power, Rahal.
o- 10 to 1: Bourdais, Pagenaud, Kimball, Newgarden.
o- 25 to 1: Carpenter, Briscoe, Muñoz, Hunter-Reay, Wilson.
o- 50 to 1: Sato, Jakes, Chaves (R).
o- 80 to 1: Hawksworth, Vautier, Mann?, Daly? (R), Coletti (R), Karam (R).

o- Chevrolet: 3 to 1.
o- Honda: 6 to 1.

Please check which Dale Coyne drivers are actually competing.

If you post your bets after qualifying, you will only get half the stakes. Good luck

Results of round 12 Iowa:

1st - Yannick: $ 32,200
2nd - NaBUru38: $ 11,200
3rd - Salamus: $ 8,900
4th - Burp: $ 4,100
5th - Icemachine: $ 3,700
6th - Mekola: 1,200

Yannck took advantage to my inaccurate 25 to 1 stakes on RHR and took the most dominating win I remember in the history of the IndyContest. Newgarden and Rahal again were great picks, although nobody piacked rookie Karam for a position bet.

Standings after round 12:

1st - NaBUru38: $ 166,375
2nd - Burp: $ 135,950
3rd - Yannick: $ 132,100
4th - Icemachine: $ 89,985
5th - Salamus: $ 86,325
6th - Mekola: $ 75,700
7th - DRT: $ 35,400
8th - Beetle: $ 19,225

Yannick remains in third place in season earnings, but has shaved the gap to Burp.

Round 13 Mid-Ohio is next in two weeks. Have fun!
