2013 Bet 'Em IndyContest - Street King special stage

[NaBUru38]

Hello, folks! Welcome to the Street King special stage of the 2013 Bet 'Em IndyContest. It will consider results at the three doubleheader street round of the season: Detroit, Toronto and Houston.

You must pick four different drivers and a manufacturer.

o- Winner ($ 2,000)
o- Top 3 ($ 500)
o- Top 5 ($ 150)
o- Top 10 ($ 50)
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 200)

The results rules are as follow:

o- The Triple Crown winning driver is the one who collects most wins. If there is a tie, then the winner is the one with most 2nd finishes, 3rd, 4th or 5th. If the tie stands, then the driver with most poles wins. Else, the winner will be calculated with the points awarded in the six races.
o- The top 3, top 5 and top 10 results will also be calculated with the points awarded in the six races. In both cases, the bonus points for qualifying and laps led will be ignored.
o- The winning manufacturer is the one with most wins. If there is a tie, the 2nd place finishes will be counted, and so on.

The stakes for the Street King special stage are:

o- 4 to 1: Andretti, Hunter-Reay, Castroneves.
o- 6 to 1: Dixon, Hinchcliffe, Power, Sato.
o- 8 to 1: Franchitti, Kanaan, Pagenaud, Wilson.
o- 15 to 1: De Silvestro, ServiÃ*, Viso.
o- 25 to 1: Rahal, Newgarden, Kimball.
o- 40 to 1: Bourdais, Hildebrand, Tagliani, Vautier.
o- 100 to 1: Rest of the grid (Allmendinger, Beatriz, Conway, Jakes, Saavedra, etc).

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

If you place your bets after Detroit qualifying, you will only get half the earnings. Good luck!

Damn, the Andretti and Foyt trophys were much easier. I must change the rules of the Street King special stage, or it'll take a month to do the math.

Winners keep the same, but the standings will use a medal system as well: drivers with most wins go to the top, then drivers with most 2nd places, then 3rd and so on. I'll use the same system for the Triple Crown special stage.

So, these are the Street King standings:

1. Dixon: 1 1 1 2 4 4
2. Conway: 1 3 7 7 9
3. Pagenaud: 1 4 6 9
4. Power: 1 8 12
5. Bourdais: 2 3 5 8
6. Castroneves: 2 5 6 8
7. Jakes: 2 6 10
8. De Silvestro: 2 10 10
9. Hunter-Reay: 2 18 18
10. Wilson: 3 3 4 8
11. Franchitti: 3 4 5 6
12. Hinchcliffe: 3 8 15
13. Andretti: 4 6 9 13
14. Newgarden: 5 7 11
15. Viso: 5 9 14
16. Kanaan: 5 12 13
17. Kimball: 6 7 8

Now, here's the results of the Street King special stage:

o- Winner ($ 2,000): Dixon (6 to 1).
o- Top 3 ($ 500): Dixon (6 to 1), Conway (100 to 1), Pagenaud (8 to 1).
o- Top 5 ($ 150): Dixon (6 to 1), Conway (100 to 1), Pagenaud (8 to 1), Power (6 to 1), Bourdais (40 to 1).
o- Top 10 ($ 50): Dixon (6 to 1), Conway (100 to 1), Pagenaud (8 to 1), Power (6 to 1), Bourdais (40 to 1), Castroneves (4 to 1), Jakes (100 to 1), De Silvestro (15 to 1), Hunter-Reay (4 to 1), Wilson (8 to 1).
o- Winning manufacturer ($ 200): Honda (6 to 1).

Dixon won three races, but nobody chose him for any of the bets. Nobody chose rest any of the top 3 or top 5 finishers, or Honda for the five wins.

Marcostraz picked Pagenaud for the top 10 and earned $ 400, whereas Mythoughtsareracing gained $ 750 for picking De Silvestro.

So, here's the earnings of the Street King special stage:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 0 + 750 + 0 = $ 750
2nd - Marcostraz: 0 + 0 + 0 + 400 + 0 = $ 400
3rd - Beetle: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0
4th - NaBUru38: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = $ 0

The season changed a lot since early June. The Honda engines got more powerful and reliable, and the Ganassi, Schmidt and Dale Coyne teams performed better.

Standings after the Street King special stage:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 44,650
2nd - NaBUru38: $ 44,490
3rd - Marcostraz: $ 38,000
4th - Beetle: $ 26,990
5th - Mekola: $ 15,600
6th - Canada ALMS fan: $ 9,900
7th - WAT: $ 9,000
8th - Xpunk75: $ 7,600
9th - Teretonga: $ 4,000
10th - Gomick: $ 1,600
11th - Eizox: $ 1,200

MTAR has climbed to the top of the standings! Fontana will be a tight fight.
