I should have, sorry Honestly, I chose the highest probability and the lowest stakes.

All you need to do is not count the money he got from the polesitter. It would be unfair to allow him free points because he didn't bother to read the rules. :/

So, these are the results of the 2013 Indy Grand Prix of Alabama:

o- Polesitter ($ 300): Hunter-Reay (4 to 1)
o- Fast Six ($ 100): Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Power (4 to 1), Vautier (25 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Kimball (25 to 1), Castroneves (4 to 1).
o- Winner ($ 1,000): Hunter-Reay (4 to 1)
o- Podium ($ 300): Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Castroneves (4 to 1)
o- Top 5 ($ 100): Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Dixon (6 to 1), Castroneves (4 to 1), Kimball (25 to 1), Power (4 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 100): Chevrolet (3 to 1)

Xpunk got $ 1,200 for the polesitter, I'll keep my word. NaBUru38 got $ 400 for picking Castroneves for the Fast Six, whereas Beetle cashed $ 2,500 for choosing Vautier. Nobody chose Hunter-Reay for the win or podium. Xpunk75 got $ 1,200 for picking Castroneves for the podium. Meanwhile, several betters got $ 1,800 for choosing Dixon: Mythoughtsareracing, Beetle, WAT and Marcostraz. Xpunk75 got $ 600 for picking Dixon for the top 5, and Marcostraz got $ 400 for choosing Hunter-Reay. Finally, everyone chose Chevrolet for the win, so all got $ 300.

These are the results of round 2 Barber:

1st - Beetle: 0 + 2,500 + 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 300 = 4,600
2nd - Xpunk75: 1,200 + 0 + 0 + 1,200 + 600 + 300 = 3,300
3rd - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,800 + 400 + 300 = 2,500
3rd - WAT: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 300 = 2,100
5th - Mythoughts: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 300 = 2,100
6th - NaBUru38: 0 + 400 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = 700

Beetle's choice of Vautier equalled victory. I should give the Frenchman lower stakes, he's doing too good. I'm last again.

Standings after round 2:

1st - Beetle: $ 8,290
2nd - Xpunk75: $ 6,300
3rd - Marcostraz: $ 4,300
4th - Mythoughts: $ 3,600
5th - WAT: $ 2,400
6th - Eizox: $ 1,200
7th - NaBUru38: $ 790

I meant to remove the top 5 bet, but I removed the top 10. THis meant that very few betters picked teams from the back half of the grid. I'm fixing this for round 3 Long Beach (which has special bets). Have fun!
