Future contests ideas:

1.Winners are the springboard for all types of bets. Weather an EX, DD P3 etc. without the winner there is no success to include just win betting. Perhaps the contest should be just win betting and Sartin theory of betting two horses. A third horse could be for an alternate only, for a late scratch. This promotes Sartin principals and teachings.

2. What a nightmare for the manager of the contest with all the changes and last-minute changes as we watch odds etc. Why not a pick and prey format where all picks must be in before the first race and no changes can be made thereafter. For the manager a much easier task and updates can be given throughout the contest. ROI is like gimmick bets in that if you can't pick winners, it matters not. The highest return wins.

3. A pick and prey would promote discipline and keep players out of the switches. Switching to longer odds plays to catch up. Odds don't make the horse run faster, all longshots are not created equal and must have something besides odds going for it.

4. The minimum number of races played, and amount bet should be higher to force play rather than sandbagging or coasting to a win. The best horses are consistent and best players are also. One could quit play the rest of the year when up with a small profit and declare a winning year but is that realistic??

5. How about a contest just for matching and only 1 horse chosen in the spirit of "The Hat" Bradshaw?

Everyone should add their two cents to make a better contest. I'm flexible and adaptable
if the rules apply to everyone equally, however can we make a better realistic contest?
