Amish are more prevalent in Pennsylvania, really.
Here's some genuine Ohio flavor:

• Buckeyes (aka horse chestnuts), also the name of the mascot of Ohio State University, a candy and a breed of chicken.
• Peirogis
• Rock n Roll.
  The Pretenders, Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, Boz Skaggs, Devo, Michael Stanley and The Black Keys, The Cramps, Pere Ubu and Mushroomhead.
  The Hall of Fame sucks. Really. It does.
• Cuyahoga River on fire due to excessive industrial pollution.
  Fortunately, the river is much cleaner these days.
• Burke Lakefront Airport, former home to the Grand Prix of Cleveland.
  RIP

Five betters chose Dixon for the win and earned $ 6,000. Another two betters chose him for the podium and got $ 1,800. WAT on the other hand picked Hinchcliffe for the podium and received another $ 6,000.

For the top 10, WAT got $ 4,000 for choosing Rahal; Marcostraz got $ 1,000 for picking Newgarden; and Salamus and Chiana also got $ 1,000 for selecting Briscoe.

Four betters earned $ 1,000 for picking Bourdais for the Belt Challenge. Another four betters received $ 300 for selecting CHevrolet for the win.

These are the results of round 12 Mid-Ohio

2nd - Salamus: 6,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 1,000 + 0 = $ 8,000

4th - Marcostraz: 6,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 7,300
5th - DRT: 6,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 6,300
6th - MTAR: 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 2.100
7th - Icemachine: 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 2,100

Not that I don't appreciate the extra points, but I think you'll find my only correct bet being Rahal for top10

[NaBUru38]

Right, apparently I didn't copy your bets correctly and I pasted Salamus again.

As you said, your only hit was Rahal for the top 10, so you resultyed 5th with $ 4,000.

Your season earnings are $ 27,700.
