[NaBUru38]

Hi, folks! Welcome to round 5 of the 2016 Bet 'Em IndyContest. Running clockwise at Indianapolis may seem counter-intuitive, but it's here to stay.

As I'm late, you may post your bets after qualifying with no penalty.

You must pick 5 different drivers and a manufacturer:

o- Premium - 2x money; only top 5 finishes.
o- Regular - 1x money
o- Alternative - 1x money; no 10x drivers or under
o- Fresh - Rookies only ($ 20)
o- Belt Challenge - Pagenaud vs Rahal ($ 200)
o- Manufacturer - Race winner ($ 200)

Top 10 finishes award money as follows:

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

The stakes for Indianapolis GP are:

o- 3x: Dixon, Montoya, Pagenaud.
o- 6x: Power, Castroneves, Rahal, Kanaan.
o- 10x: Hunter-Reay, Newgarden, Kimball.
o- 20x: Bourdais, Sato, Aleshin, Hinchcliffe, Hildebrand.
o- 40x: Tagliani, Andretti, Muñoz, Chilton (R).
o- 60x: Hawksworth, Filippi, Rossi (R), Pigot (R), Daly (R), Brabham (R).

OK, I'll have a try. But it's a one-off for me because an oval specialist takes over the ride for the Indy 500 ;-)

o- Premium - Pagenaud
o- Regular - Kanaan
o- Alternative - Hawksworth
o- Fresh - Pigot
o- Belt Challenge - Rahal
o- Manufacturer - Honda

Results of round 5 Indianapolis GP:

2nd - Yannick: $ 6,000
3rd -Mekola: $ 2,400
4th - Icemachine: $ 600

Power, Dixon and Sato didn't enter top 10, and Montoya ended outside the top 5. This meant that several bets went blank.

Instead, I hit Hinchcliffe's 3rd place and Rahal's 4th, whereas Yannick picked Pagenaud for the win.

Season earnings after round 5:

1st - NaBUru38: $ 30,000
2nd - dmcga: $ 29,100
3rd - Icemachine: $ 25,900
4th - Salamus: $ 25,600
5th - Richy: $ 17,300
6th - Yannick: $ 6,000
7th - Mekola: $ 2,400
