The total possible earnings were $ 39,720, which is more than anyone has earned in the standings so far!

Nobody picked Franchitti for the win. Mythoughtsareracing and NaBUru38 picked Dixon for the podium and earned $ 4,800. NaBUru38 chose Kanaan for the top 5 and earned $ 1,200. Mythoughtsareracing picked Bell for the top 10 and got $ 720, whereas Marcostraz chose Kanaan and got $ 360. Daisy went for Kimball for the top 15 and cashed $ 2,000; Marcostraz had Wilson and got $ 1,000. Marcostraz earned the $ 1,200 for betting that Honda would win the race, whereas Mythoughtsareracing took $ 720 for the most laps led.

So here's the 2012 Bet'Em IndyContest results at the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race.

1st: Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 4,800 + 0 + 720 + 0 + 0 + 720 = 6,240
2nd: NaBUru38: 0 + 4,800 + 1,200 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 6,000
3rd: Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 360 + 1,000 + 1,200 + 0 = 2,560
4th: Daisy: 0 + 0 + 0 + 2,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 2,000
5th: WAT: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Mythoughtsareracing narrowly beat NaBUru38 (although I was the best better in the Month of May ), which means we both climed one spot in the standings. Marcostraz defended Daisy for the third spot in the podium, althought both earned well bellow the $ 4,340 they bet. WAT went off the track and didn't hit a single bet.

Current standings after Indianapolis round 6:

1st - Daisy: $ 34,400
2nd - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 24,940
3rd - WAT: $ 23,000
4th - NaBUru38: $ 16,400
5th - Marcostraz: $ 13,610
6th - Chiana: $ 5,400
7th - Flyin Ryan: $ 2,900
8th - Barnett: $ 2,400

See you next week at Motor City!

I almost picked Jakes for top 15....

Saavedra was less risky, but not too much.
