So, these are the results of the 2012 Indy Toronto:

o- Polesitter: Franchitti (8 to 1)
o- Fast Six: Franchitti (8 to 1), Power (2 to 1), Wilson (15 to 1), Bourdais (25 to 1), Dixon (4 to 1), Tagliani (50 to 1)
o- Win: Hunter-Reay (4 to 1)
o- Podium: Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Kimball (25 to 1), Conway (50 to 1)
o- Top 5: Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Kimball (25 to 1), Conway (50 to 1), Kanaan (8 to 1), ServiÃ* (15 to 1)
o- Top 10: Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Kimball (25 to 1), Conway (50 to 1), Kanaan (8 to 1), ServiÃ* (15 to 1), Castroneves (4 to 1), Hildebrand (25 to 1), Jakes (100 to 1), Sato (50 to 1), Tagliani (50 to 1)

The optimal bets were Franchitti for the pole and $ 2,400, Bourdais for the Fast Six and $ 2,500, Hunter-Reay for the win and $ 4,000, Conway for the podium and $ 15,000, ServiÃ* for the top 5 and $ 1,500, and Jakes for the top 10 and $ 3,000, totalling a maximum of $ 28,400.

Nobody chose Franchitti for the pole. Eizox picked him for the Fast Six and got $ 800, and nobody else chose any of the six drivers. Nobody picked Hunter-Reay for the win. Daisy and WAT chose him for the podium and earned $ 1,200. Nobody picked a top 5 finisher correctly. WAT earned 1,500 for picking Tagliani for the top 10 and NaBUru38 got 450 by choosing ServiÃ*.

So here's the 2012 Bet'Em IndyContest results at Toronto.

1st - WAT: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,200 + 0 + 1,500 = 2,700
2nd - Daisy: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,200 + 0 + 0 = 1,200
3rd - Eizox: 0 + 800 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 800
4th - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 450 = 450
5th - Chiana: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
5th - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
5th - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

WAT won again and Daisy picked second place. Toronto's usual carnage made us miss too many picks - three betters left the Exhibition place with empty pockets and only WAT recovered the betted money.

Current standings after Toronto round 10:

1st - Daisy: $ 49,200
2nd - WAT: $ 36,950
3rd - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 33,890
4th - NaBUru38: $ 24,800
5th - Marcostraz: $ 20,370
6th - Eizox: $ 11,800
7th - Chiana: $ 5,400
8th - Flyin Ryan: $ 2,900
9th - HaydenFan: $ 2,500
10th - Barnett: $ 2,400
11th - Gameofguts21: $ 500

In two weeks, IndyCar visits Western Canada for the Edmonton Indy. Since I'm travelling to Washignton DC to attend Wikimania, I will start the Edmonton round 11 thread in a few minutes. Have fun!

10 laps from the end I have 5000 in the pocket ... if only Newgarden had stayed on track...
