Ruling
 

Bill, I noticed that Noddub62 bet 2 horses in his post #23.
50 to win & place on two horses the 5 & 8. If my math is right thismakes a total of 200.00 dollars bet.
If I read the rules right the the bet on the # 8 is voided since he listed the #5 as his first bet.
Am I right on this assumption?

Rmath and friend
What would you do ?
Here is what the rules say
Attachment 32022

some examples

Attachment 32021

I read it as if you bet an excess of two horses your last horse is dropped
If you bet over 100 your bet is adjusted downward to equal $100
I see no reason to drop one of Budmans selections since he bet two horses evenly
It seems to me his intentions were to split his bets w/p and his history of making the $25w/p bets on two horses justifies the possibility thats what he intented

Who are you talking about when you address me as rmath and friend?
Do you have a mouse in you pocket?
I was only asking for clarification when I saw that your friend made a mistake when he posted his bet.
I am not the one who has to enforce the rules. YOU are.
If I had to make the final decision I would have dropped the second horse, but since I am not in a position to make or enforce the rules I and everyone else has to abide bye your decision.

Hi I made a typo. My mistake I wantrd to add the plural S for friends
You know as in the pace and cap motto, Friends helping friends WIN
I asked the group and am asking you again based on how the contest rules
are written why do I have to drop one of Noddub62's horses ?

yes I made my decision

I just want to make sure you see my reasoning

BTW Ted and I ruled on this yesterday morning

Bill, as I stated I was only asking for clarification on the rule.
I thought that since the total was 200.00 that 100.00 was to be deducted from the last horse listed first to get the bet down to 100.00.
Then since the 50.00 to win and place on the first horse equaled 100.00 there was nothing left to put on the 2nd horse, and therefore it would be eliminated.
Apparently I misunderstood the rule.

PS: I forgive your typo,everyone makes mistakes, especially me.
Keep up the good work.

Ruling
 

Bill, forgot to ask how you and Ted ruled ?

Rmath
 

Thanks for getting back to me
I see where the rules are tricky in this case
I read it as if you bet in Excess of 2 horses the last horse is taken away
If your total bet on 2 horses is over $100 the bet is adjusted down to $100 if your bets don't total $100 they are adjusted up to $100

Since Noddub wanted to bet w/p on two horse
Ted and I ruled his bet should be adjusted down in eqaul increments
to $25 win $25 place on both his horses

I suggested to Ted that given the fact noddub62 often makes that format
bet that was most likely his intention

Ted and I ruled that I would score the race as $25w/p on both horses
