2014 Bet 'Em IndyContest - round 1 St Petersburg
Hi, folks! Welcome to the third season of the Bet 'Em IndyContest. For newcomers, it's a prediction contest where competitors bet (virtual) money every race weekend. Also, there are special stages for the Triple Crown (Indy, Pocono and Fontana), Street King (the three doubleheaders) and the Championship Fight.
Unlike other motorsport prediction contests, drivers have stakes. Top drivers like Dixon and Power pay only 3-1 or 8-1, whereas rookies like Muñoz and Hawksworth may pay 40-1 or 100-1. - o - Except for select rounds, each weekend you must pick four different drivers and a manufacturer. o- Winner ($ 1,000) o- Podium ($ 300) o- Top 10 ($ 50) o- Belt Challenge ($ 100) o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100) The top 10 bet will be awarded only for drivers who finish 4th-10th, rather than all top 10 finishers as in previous IndyContests. - o - The new Belt Challenge will be a duel between the Belt holder and the challenger. The driver who finishes highest in the race will retain or take the belt. The next race, the Belt Challenge will face the belt holder and the next highest finisher of the previous race. For example, the current belt holder is the 2013 IndyCar champion Scott Dixon, and the challenger at St Petersburg will be 2013 runner-up Hélio Castroneves. So betters will have to choose if Dixon or Castroneves will be the highest finisher at St Petersburg. If Dixon retains the belt, he will contest the Belt Challenge at Barber. If Dixon wins, the the second place finisher will be the challenger, else the St Petersburg race winner will be the challenger. Same for Castroneves. Last edited by NaBUru38; 20 Mar 2014 at 14:55. |

Odds are odd
Schmidt seems a better team than Rahal. |

o- Winner Power
o- Podium Montoya o- Top 10 Newgarden o- Belt Challenge Dixon o- Winning manufacturer Chevrolet Question: Does picking a driver for the Belt Challenge bet exclude that driver from a pick for the win, podium or top 10? Also, I'm curious about your source for odds. I'm not disputing. Just curious. |

And then I adjust based on perception, by giving liked drivers lower stakes (I did that with De Silvestro) and unliked drivers higher stakes (like Jakes and Colombians). |

o- Winner ($ 1,000): Power (3 to 1) o- Podium ($ 300): Power (3 to 1), Hunter-Reay (3 to 1), Castroneves (3 to 1). o- Top 10 ($ 50): Dixon (3 to 1), Pagenaud (5 to 1), Kanaan (10 to 1), Sato (20 to 1), Wilson (10 to 1), Newgarden (20 to 1), Briscoe (10 to 1). o- Belt Challenge ($ 100): Castroneves (3 to 1). o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100): Chevrolet (3 to 1). Out of 11 betters, 8 chose Power as the race winner and cashed $ 3,000. Mekola and Salamus got $ 900 for picking Hunter-Reay for the podium, whereas NaBUru38 got $ 900 for selecting Power. For the top 10, MTAR earned $ 1,000 for picking Newgarden, NaBUru38 got $ 500 for choosing Briscoe, WAT got $ 500 for picking Kanaan, and Salamus got $ 500 for picking Wilson. Castroneves finished 3rd, with Dixon in fourth, so he claimed the Belt Challenge at St Petersburg. Five betters got $ 300 for picking him. Chevrolet won the first race of the season, so seven betters got $ 300. Here's the results of round 1 St Petersburg 1st - Salamus: 3,000 + 900 + 500 + 300 + 300 = $ 5,000 2nd - Mekola: 3,000 + 900 + 0 + 300 + 300 = $ 4,500 3rd - MTAR: 3,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 300 = $ 4,300 4th - Teretonga: 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 300 = $ 3,600 5th - Icemachine: 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 300 = $ 3,600 6th - WAT: 3,000 + 0 + 500 + 0 + 0 = $ 3,500 7th - DRT: 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = $ 3,300 8th - Gomick: 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 3,000 9th - NaBUru38: 0 + 900 + 500 + 0 + 300 = $ 1,700 10th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 + 0 = $ 300 11th - Skells22: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0 Salamus Salamus hit the five bets and won round 1, helped with practice qualifying results. Mekola was second, despite placing the bets over a week ago. Round 2 Long Beach of the Bet 'Em IndyContest is in two weeks. Have fun! |
