TVG Super 8 payout

On Saturday, I played in TVG's Super 8 Contest. If you're not familiar with it, they give you a slate of 8 races and you try to pick the winners. You get one pick for each race. It's free so all you have invested is your time and the cost of the data files.

Pick 5 of 8 winners and you share in a $3,000 pool.
Pick 6 of 8 and it's a $5,000 pool.
Pick 7 of 8 and it's a $8,000 pool.
Pick 8 of 8 and it's a $100,000 pool.

Even betting a lot of chalk it's still difficult and I've picked 4 winners at least half a dozen times with a rather cursory glance at the RDSS screens and the BRIS PPs. On Saturday, however, I spent several hours working up these races and I picked 5 winners so I won a share of the $3,000 pool. (My three losers finished 2nd, 2nd and 3rd so it could have been better but alas, it is what it ain't.)

So how much did I win? When TVG posted my winnings, I laughed out loud. (I told rdiam last night that I don't think I'll spend quite as much time on the contest in the future.)

You could download the HQ trivia app on your phone and answer 15 questions to split a large prize pool. People can win $1.30 from a $10,000 pool lol

One guy was alive for the 8 for 8, $100,000.
His horse - Bob Baffert's 2-5 shot in a 3yo prep race!
Lost by a nose.

I hope the track took the guy home and made sure he was not left alone!

You had better take out your $2.30 prize money quickly or bet it because they will charge you a monthly $2.00 inactivity charge. (Seriously).
