So, here's the results of the 2014 Indy Toronto race 1:

o- Winner ($ 1,000) - Bourdais (20 to 1)
o- Podium ($ 300) - Bourdais (20 to 1), Castroneves (3 to 1), Kanaan (10 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 50) - Pagenaud (3 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Rahal (80 to 1), Kimball (40 to 1), Hinchcliffe (20 to 1), Power (3 to 1), Wilson (10 to 1).
o- Belt Challenge ($ 100) - Kanaan (10 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100) - Chevrolet (3 to 1).

Nobody chose Bourdais for the win, but WAT picked him for the podium and cashed $ 6,000. For the top 10, WAT and Gomick got $ $4,000 for choosing Rahal for the top 10; Icemachine got $ 2,000 for choosing Kimball; DRT and NaBUru38 also got $ 2,000 for choosing Wilson.

Skells22, Teretonga and WAT received $ 1,000 for selecting Kanaan for the Belt Challenge. Six betters earned $ 300 for picking Chevrolet for the win.

Here's the results of round 11 Toronto race 1:

1st - WAT: 0 + 6,000 + 4,000 + 1,000 + 300 = $ 11,300
2nd - Gomick: 0 + 0 + 4,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 4,300
3rd - Icemachine: 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 2,300
4th - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 + 0 = $ 2,000
5th - DRT: 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 + 0 = $ 2,000
6th - Teretonga: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 = $ 1,300
7th - Skells22: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 = $ 1,000
8th - Salamus: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 300
9th - MTAR: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 300
10th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0
11th - Burp: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0

WAT reigned in the rain and took a dominating win. Gomick and Icemachine completed the podium with two hits. NaBUru38 and DRT cimpleted the top 5. THis time, Marcostraz and Burp got their wallets flushed in the storm drain.

Now, these are the results of the 2014 Indy Toronto race 2:

o- Winner ($ 1,000) - Conway (20 to 1).
o- Podium ($ 300) - Conway (20 to 1), Kanaan (10 to 1), Power (3 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 50) - Kimball (40 to 1), Sato (80 to 1), Hawksworth (40 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Andretti (6 to 1), Bourdais (20 to 1), Wilson (10 to 1).
o- Belt Challenge ($ 100) - Kanaan (10 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100) - Chevrolet (3 to 1).

Nobody chose Conway for the win, but MTAR selected him for the podium and cashed $ 6,000. For the top 10, MTAR got $ 4,000 for picking Sato, Icemachine got $ 2,000 for picking Kimball, and NaBUru38 got $ 500 for picking Wilson.

Skells22, Teretonga and WAT got another $ 1,000 for picking Kanaan for the Belt Challenge. The six betters received another $ 300 for picking Chevrolet for the win.

Here's the results of round 11 Toronto race 2:

1st - MTAR: 0 + 6,000 + 4,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 10,300
2nd - Icemachine: 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 2,300
3rd - Teretonga: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 = $ 1,300
4th - WAT: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 300 = $ 1,300
5th - Skells22: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 = $ 1,000
6th - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 500 + 0 + 0 = $ 500
7th - Salamus: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 300
8th - Gomick: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 300
9th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0
10th - Burp: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0
11th - DRT: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0

MTAR dominated the race and climbed to the top of the podium. Despite that the starting grid was based on points results, most competitors struggled to hit decent bets.

[icemachine]

Thanks again for your hard work!

[NaBUru38]

Thanks!

I'm thinking about changing the format for 2015, where you pick three drivers and any top 10 finish gets you money. The system would give more money the better your driver performs, and will still have stakes. But I must make sure that I need less calculations!

[Burp]

I really enjoy doing these, thanks for your hard work setting them up and working it all out.

A suggestion for next year if your thinking of 3 drivers to pick. Why not have 3 groups of drivers. (Front runners, mid pack regualrs and Saavedra ) and make everyone choose 1 driver from each group for a race weekend.

For example:
Dixon
Kimball
Huertas

or

Pagenaud
Wilson
Rahal

What??? You just completely ignored my bet???

Sorry I don't get it, I know I'm not full season entry but have played this before and IIRC you said bets can be made at any stage, unless I've missed something.

It's probably just an error, don't worry. Happened to me a few races ago, but then Naburu fixed it quickly once I pointed it out to him

[Deleted]

Hope so, I just kinda panicked as I had put Conway up there

[NaBUru38]

Oops!

On race one, you missed the five bets and got no money.

On race two, you got $ 20,000 for picking Conway for the win. Therefore, you won the race two too!

Your season earnings are $ 23,700, so you rank 9th.

[Deleted]

Thanks!

I guess when I've only done Indy+Toronto and have over half the points of the full season points leader I should be glad
