o- Polesitter ($ 500): Power
o- Fast Six ($ 100): Hinchcliffe o- Win ($ 2,000): Dixon o- Podium ($ 500): Rahal o- Top 5 ($ 100): Conway o- Top 10 ($ 30): Newgarden I'm a bit lost, by "polesitter" do you mean the fastest guy in the fast six, or the one sitting on pole on Sunday? If it's the latter, please replace Power by Pagenaud. Thanks. |

You can place your bets until 12:00 Eastern, which means you have 1 hour 25 minutes to do any changes.
The polesitter is the driver that IndyCar determines that will start the race on the pole, and therefore earns the extra championship points. If the fastest driver in the Fast Six gets penalized, they won't be polesitters. |

BTW, the one who gets the pole award points is the fastest guy in the Firestone Fast 6, not the actual polesitter: @IndyCar Clarification on 10-spot penalty: pole winner will keep points and awards even if they are affected by the penalty. They move back in race. |

In my opinion, the right thing is to consider the times and not the starting positions...we bet on who will be faster, not on who will replace the engine...

Ok, then the polesitter is the fastest in the Fast Six session. WAT, you missed the deadline, so your pick for polesitter is Power.

So, these are the results of the 2012 Grand Prix of Long Beach:
o- Polesitter: Briscoe (5 to 1) o- Fast Six: Briscoe (5 to 1), Power (3 to 1), Hunter-Reay (10 to 1), Franchitti (5 to 1), Viso (40 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1) o- Win: Power (3 to 1) o- Podium: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1) o- Top 5: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Kanaan (5 to 1), Hildebrand (100 to 1) o- Top 10: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Kanaan (5 to 1), Hildebrand (100 to 1), Hunter-Reay (10 to 1), Briscoe (5 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Barrichello (20 to 1), Wilson (20 to 1) The optimal bets were Briscoe for pole ($ 2,500), Viso for Fast Six ($ 4,000), Power for the win ($ 6,000), Pagenaud or Hinchcliffe for the podium ($ 5,000), Hildebrand for the top 5 (10,000) and Hildebrand for the top 10 ($ 3,000), totalling a maximum earning of $ 30,500, or 50% more than in previous races because of the special bets. Nobody picked Briscoe for pole. Daisy and WAT chose Hinchcliffe for the fast Six and earned $ 1,000, whereas Marcostraz chose Briscoe for $ 500. mythoughtsareracing and Daisy chose Power for the win and earned $ 6,000. Chiana and NaBUru38 picked Power for the podium and earned $ 1,500. mythoughtsareracing went for Hinchcliffe for the top 5 and received $ 1,000. Daisy chose Hildebrand for the top 10 and earned $ 3,000, while NaBUru38 went for Sato for $ 1,200. 1st - Daisy: 0 + 1,000 + 6,000 + 0 + 0 + 3,000 = 10,000 2nd - mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 6,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 = 7,000 3rd - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 1,200 = 2,700 4th - Chiana: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 0 = 1,500 5th - WAT: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1,000 6th - Marcostraz: 0 + 500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 500 Daisy recovered from Barber and won her second race of the season, taking advantage of the special bet for Power's win. mythoughtsareracing had another strong performance. I managed to get into the podium for the first time, although it was more due to crashes of my rivals against the Californian walls rather than my my betting skills. Current standings after Long Beach round 3: 1st - Daisy: $ 29,400 2nd - WAT: $ 20,000 3rd - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 14,700 4th - Marcostraz: $ 8,550 5th - NaBUru38: $ 6,400 6th - Chiana: $ 3,400 7th - Flyin Ryan: $ 2,900 8th - Barnett: $ 2,400 Congratulations, and see you at São Paulo! |

Damn, my horses had a tough race... All retired, either due to crashes(Newgarden and Rahal) or mechanical(Dixon and Conway).

That was very bad luck, given you picked very different drivers.

That was another good round. But everything is possible, one good weird pick by someone else, and things can turn around quickly.
