2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest - round 2 New Orleans

[NaBUru38]

Hi, folks! Welcome back to round 2 of the 2015 Bet 'Em IndyContest. New Orleans is hosting a major race since IMSA 1995. The new road course is flat and I don't know much else to fill this pragraph, so...

There's a new format of the Fresh bet. The top finishing driver will get a quarter of the regular money scale, which I'll refresh:

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

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 stakes for St. Pete are:

o- 3 to 1: Power, Pagenaud, Dixon.
o- 5 to 1: Hunter-Reay, Castroneves, Montoya.
o- 8 to 1: Bourdais, Kanaan, Hinchcliffe.
o- 15 to 1: Andretti, Kimball, Muñoz, Rahal.
o- 25 to 1: Newgarden, Filippi, Sato, Chaves (R), Coletti (R).
o- 60 to 1: 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!

Yannick, you picked Power twice. If you don't change your bets, you will get Montoya for the Belt Challenge.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know picking somebody twice was not possible. Please keep Power in the "Belt" category and let's have Scott Dixon as the "Premium".

o- Fresh - Coletti
o- Belt Challenge - Power

I was busy yesterday, sorry for the weather delay.

Icemachine, you posted your bets late, so you will only get half the stakes.

Gabby Chaves finished outside the top 10, so he gets a quarter of $ 50 and a 25-to-1 stakes to pay $ 315.50. I don't have any coins or small bills, so there's a new rule: non-top 10 Fresh drivers pay a quarter of $ 100.

So, these are the results of the 2015 Indy Grand Rain of Louisiana:

o- 1st - Hinchcliffe ($ 8,000)
o- 2nd - Castroneves ($ 3,000)
o- 3rd - Jakes ($ 24,000)
o- 4th - De Silvestro ($ 7,500)
o- 5th - Montoya ($ 1,000)
o- 6th - Kanaan ($ 800)
o- 7th - Power ($ 600)
o- 8th - Rahal ($ 1,500)
o- 9th - Newgarden ($ 2,500)
o- 10th - Filippi ($ 2,500)
o- Fresh - Chaves ($ 625)
o- Belt Challenge - Montoya ($ 1,000)
o- Manufacturer - Honda ($ 1,200)

Now, here's the results for each better:

o- 1st - Hinchcliffe ($ 8,000)
o- 2nd - Castroneves ($ 3,000)
