Belmont Stakes Contest - With Prizes (RULES ONLY)

Alright, well Dr. Jack gave the green light for there to be a Belmont Stakes contest, and i've set up some rules with the contest idea coming from Smitch124, and the proposing of a contest coming from Ricky Rick..

Rules:
1) Every person will be given 100 fake dollars. You MUST wager all 100 fake dollars. Wagering less than 100 dollars = automatic forfeit. Wagering more than 100 dollars = automatic forfeit. Use a calculator if you need help adding, lol.

2) With this 100 dollars, you can bet it anyway you want on the Belmont Stakes race. This includes, win, place, show, exactor, triactor, superfecta.. etc.

3) All wagers must be posted in the same post, you can not make a pick today, and come back tommorow and make a pick, this way it is just easier for me to track.

4) Anyone is welcomed to join this contest and post their plays, but you must have a minimum of 50 posts to win the prize.

5) The deadline for posts is 12:00 - noon, EST; June 7th (the day of the race - and my birthday as well)...

6) Tie breaker, at the bottom of your post, write how long it will take for the winner of the race to cross the line. Minutes and seconds for example 1 minute, 41 seconds. It is very rare that there will be a tie in a contest like this, however.

7) I cannot think of any more rules at the time, but if you have any questions post them in this thread, and I will answer them.

8) Odds and money for each horse/wager will be the tracks final posted odds.

8) DO NOT POST YOUR PICKS IN THIS THREAD, I WILL MAKE ANOTHER THREAD FOR THAT..

PRIZES.. Dr. Jack says he will provide a couple prizes for this contest.. I am not sure what they are quite yet, but they will be posted later..

I will calculate everyones profit and post the final results... but as it is my birthday June 7th, it might take me until the next day to tally up everybodys numbers..

Good luck, and thanks to Dr. Jack for allowing this.

Now, I know I don't have 50 posts, but I am gonna participate for the fun of it. I want to make sure I understand it correctly, we are wagering ONLY on the Belmont Stakes race, so this means no pick 3's or anything like that. JUST, the Belmont. Right?

if you make 30 more non spam posts by that time ,as you have 20 now, you can still qualify for prizes..

i recommend making posts in other parts of the forum, whether it be wishing someone luck, posting your plays, congradulating someone.. get involved, and don't be afraid lol..

good luck to everyone

Awesome prize Jack, thanks for doing this contest. Big Brown is actually getting some interest down in the horse forum for us. The 10 or so regulars actually have some company now, hope it stays that way
