Veggie 2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest - round 3 Long Beach

[NaBUru38]

Hi, folks! Welcome back to round 3 of the 2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest. Long Beach is hosting its third consecutive weekend of racing, although some of you may debate over whether drifting is racing. Actually, you may not.

You must pick five different drivers and a manufacturer:

o- Premium - 2x money.
o- Regular - 1x money.
o- Alternative - 1x money; no 10-to-1 drivers or under.
o- Fresh - 0.25x money; rookies only.
o- Belt Challenge ($ 200) - Power or Montoya.
o- Manufacturer ($ 200) -

The regular money scale is:

o- 1st - $ 1000
o- 2nd - $ 600
o- 3rd - $ 400
o- 4th - $ 300
o- 5th - $ 200
o- 6-10th - $ 100

The stakes for St. Pete are:

o- 3 to 1: Power, Pagenaud, Dixon.
o- 5 to 1: Hunter-Reay, Castroneves, Montoya.
o- 10 to 1: Bourdais, Kanaan, Hinchcliffe.
o- 15 to 1: Andretti, Kimball, Muñoz, Rahal.
o- 30 to 1: Newgarden, Filippi, De Silvestro, Karam, Chaves (R), Coletti (R).
o- 60 to 1: Sato, Hawksworth, Huertas, Jakes, Dracone (R).

o- Chevrolet: 6 to 1.
o- Honda: 3 to 1.

If you post your bets after the start of qualifying, you will only get half the earnings. If there's a tie between betters, the earlier better wins the tiebreaker. Good luck!

Coletti got to come good for me soon

[NaBUru38]

o- Regular - Rahal
o- Alternative - Newgarden
o- Fresh - Coletti(R)
o- Belt Challenge ($ 200) - Montoya
o- Manufacturer ($ 200) - Honda

Done.

You need to change Karam for Saavedra as he's in the number 8 this weekend and your first post says St Pete odds

[NaBUru38]

Thanks for the tip. Saavedra pays 60 to 1.

I'm not very good at copying/pasting/rewriting. I've had issues with that in computer programming...
