If you dont change your bet by the deadline, Ill change the pole bet for Franchitti.

So, these are the results of the 2012 Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber:

o- Peak Polesitter ($ 300): Castroneves (5 to 1).
o- Firestone Fast Six ($ 100): Castroneves (5 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Dixon (5 to 1), Conway (40 to 1), Hildebrand (100 to 1), Kanaan (5 to 1).
o- Win ($ 1,000): Power (3 to 1).
o- Podium ($ 300): Power (3 to 1), Dixon (5 to 1), Castroneves (5 to 1).
o- Top 5 ($ 100): Power (3 to 1), Dixon (5 to 1), Castroneves (5 to 1), Rahal (20 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 30): Power (3 to 1), Dixon (5 to 1), Castroneves (5 to 1), Rahal (20 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1),
Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Conway (40 to 1), Barrichello (20 to 1), Bourdais (20 to 1), Franchitti (3 to 1).

The optimal bets were Castroneves for pole ($ 1,500), Hildebrand for Fast Six ($ 10,000), Power for win ($ 3,000), Dixon or Castroneves for podium ($ 1,500), Rahal for top 5 ($ 2,000) and Conway for top 10 ($ 1,200), totalling a maximum $ 19,200.

Nobody picked Castroneves as polesitter. Four betters out of seven chose Fast Six drivers: NaBUru38 chose Dixon for $ 500, Chiana and WAT chose Hinchcliffe for $ 1,000, and Marcostraz chose Conway for $ 4,000.

Marcostraz and Mythoughtsareracing picked Power for the win and $ 3,000. Mythoughtsareracing and Daisy picked Dixon for the podium and got $ 1,500.

Mythoughtsareracing and WAT picked Rahal for the top 5 and got $ 2,000, while NaBUru38 chose Pagenaud and earned $ 1,000. Three player hitted three different drivers for the top 10, with different results: Mythoughtsareracing got $ 1,200 for Conway, NaBUru38 got $ 600 for Rahal, and Marcostraz earned $ 150 for Castroneves.

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 3,000 + 1,500 + 2,000 + 1,200 = $ 7,700
2nd - Marcostraz: 0 + 4,000 + 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 150 = $ 7,150
3rd - WAT: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 = $ 3,000
4th - NaBUru38: 0 + 500 + 0 + 0 + 1,000 + 600 = $ 2,100
5th - Daisy: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 0 = $ 1,500
6th - Chiana: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 1,000
7th - Barnett: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0

Mythoughtsareracing and Marcostraz finished very close, but not as far from 3rd as in St Pete. Since results were less shocking than at St Pete, total earnings were half as low.

Current standings after Barber round 2:

1st - Daisy: $ 19,400
2nd - WAT: $ 19,000
3rd - Marcostraz: $ 8,050
4th - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 7,700
5th - NaBUru38: $ 3,700
6th - Flyin Ryan: $ 2,900
7th - Barnett: $ 2,400
8th - Chiana: $ 1,900

There's three packs now: Daisy and WAT in the front, Marcostraz and Mythoughtsareracing in the mid, and the rest in the back.

Congratulations, and see you in two weeks at Long Beach!

Fair enough. I didn't realize the rules.
But you could have picked Castroneves for pole!

[NaBUru38]

Haha! I chose Franchitti because it's Dixon's teammmate and has the highest probability of winning. See, didn't pick Charlie Kimball...
