Maybe it's idea (for new members who want to join) to mention in the first post that you have to bet on 6 different drivers.

I'm a bit lost, by "polesitter" do you mean the fastest guy in the fast six, or the one sitting on pole on Sunday? If it's the latter, please replace Power by Pagenaud. Thanks.

Hey Naburu, any clarification on your definition of "polesitter" please? Fastest of the Firestone Fast 6, or actual 1st place starter once the green flag flies?

You can place your bets until 12:00 Eastern, which means you have 1 hour 25 minutes to do any changes.

The polesitter is the driver that IndyCar determines that will start the race on the pole, and therefore earns the extra championship points. If the fastest driver in the Fast Six gets penalized, they won't be polesitters.

OK, then I replace Power by Pagenaud for the pole, as I said I would do in this case.

BTW, the one who gets the pole award points is the fastest guy in the Firestone Fast 6, not the actual polesitter:

@IndyCar Clarification on 10-spot penalty: pole winner will keep points and awards even if they are affected by the penalty. They move back in race.

In my opinion, the right thing is to consider the times and not the starting positions...we bet on who will be faster, not on who will replace the engine...

Ok, then the polesitter is the fastest in the Fast Six session. WAT, you missed the deadline, so your pick for polesitter is Power.

So, these are the results of the 2012 Grand Prix of Long Beach:

o- Polesitter: Briscoe (5 to 1)
o- Fast Six: Briscoe (5 to 1), Power (3 to 1), Hunter-Reay (10 to 1), Franchitti (5 to 1), Viso (40 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1)
o- Win: Power (3 to 1)
o- Podium: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1)
o- Top 5: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Kanaan (5 to 1), Hildebrand (100 to 1)
o- Top 10: Power (3 to 1), Pagenaud (10 to 1), Hinchcliffe (10 to 1), Kanaan (5 to 1), Hildebrand (100 to 1), Hunter-Reay (10 to 1), Briscoe (5 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Barrichello (20 to 1), Wilson (20 to 1)

The optimal bets were Briscoe for pole ($ 2,500), Viso for Fast Six ($ 4,000), Power for the win ($ 6,000), Pagenaud or Hinchcliffe for the podium ($ 5,000), Hildebrand for the top 5 (10,000) and Hildebrand for the top 10 ($ 3,000), totalling a maximum earning of $ 30,500, or 50% more than in previous races because of the special bets.

Nobody picked Briscoe for pole. Daisy and WAT chose Hinchcliffe for the fast Six and earned $ 1,000, whereas Marcostraz chose Briscoe for $ 500. mythoughtsareracing and Daisy chose Power for the win and earned $ 6,000. Chiana and NaBUru38 picked Power for the podium and earned $ 1,500. mythoughtsareracing went for Hinchcliffe for the top 5 and received $ 1,000. Daisy chose Hildebrand for the top 10 and earned $ 3,000, while NaBUru38 went for Sato for $ 1,200.


1st - Daisy: 0 + 1,000 + 6,000 + 0 + 0 + 3,000 = 10,000
2nd - mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 6,000 + 0 + 1,000 + 0 = 7,000
3rd - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 1,200 = 2,700
4th - Chiana: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 0 = 1,500
5th - WAT: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1,000
6th - Marcostraz: 0 + 500 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 500

Daisy recovered from Barber and won her second race of the season, taking advantage of the special bet for Power's win. mythoughtsareracing had another strong performance. I managed to get into the podium for the first time, although it was more due to crashes of my rivals against the Californian walls rather than my my betting skills.

Current standings after Long Beach round 3:

1st - Daisy: $ 29,400
2nd - WAT: $ 20,000
3rd - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 14,700
4th - Marcostraz: $ 8,550
5th - NaBUru38: $ 6,400
6th - Chiana: $ 3,400
7th - Flyin Ryan: $ 2,900
8th - Barnett: $ 2,400

Congratulations, and see you at São Paulo!

Damn, my horses had a tough race... All retired, either due to crashes(Newgarden and Rahal) or mechanical(Dixon and Conway).

That was another good round. But everything is possible, one good weird pick by someone else, and things can turn around quickly.
