Default Attention: Members Of Derby Trail !

I am just amazed that you guys can't or won't form a group together to go after these types of large jackpots.There are some very very good cappers on this site.If you guys were to put your money and your plays together today there is no doubt in my mind the group would of had this today.I myself bet a pretty good amount of money on most of these and I am willing to pitch in a good chuck of cash.I would luv to form a group of players to go after these jackpots.Everyone can take part of throwing in some cash for a percent no matter how small or big you contribute.Would really like to hear from you guys and gals on this subject.

It has been considered, the problem is assigning people. If you have four people assigned to tickets, others have opinions and it is hard to make all that is happy. If you run it like the players pool is run on Americatab, then you have an opportunity to do it

I really dont think its that hard at all.There are 2 groups involved,group A is the people that want to put money in the pot and have no say in the capping.Group B are the cappers that come together to form the plays.The person makes a choice of which group he wants to be part of.

Ateam, while this is true with most internet boards, not here my friend. I haven't met a single clown on here yet. I would trust every single person I have met on this

The Bid... welched on a bet with Babs....

ONe problems is with good cappers you got very strong opinions. ANd hooves is right about a nightmare. If you could actually sit down face to face I think its possible. But on a board... I'll never forget when hooves and others were questioning Oracle about one of his mortal locks and he said he would eat his DRF if the horse lost.

I dont think Oracle ever actually tasted the newspaper ink.

I would not have a problem at all sending someone like Steve or Chuck or BTW $200 to be put into an account for a large pick 6 carryover. The most difficult thing would be to agree on a ticket. I am not a good handicapper, but I would like my input to be considered. On Breeders Cup day I play the pick 6 with appr 23 other people from other states. The min investment is $200. You can put in more for more shares or put in less for less shares. The organizer sends out an email asking everyone that wants to have input into the ticket to rank the horses in each race. You get 9 pts per race. You can put all 9 on one horse or 3-3-3 etc etc. Then 6 of us get together the night before to construct the ticket. It works out pretty well. I think it would work out for this board as well.

The biggest problem would be to get everyone together to sign the IRS form. I am sure there is some way around that.

In theory it's sounds like a good idea, but in reality it would just turn out bad....Way too involved if it were to hit..setting up a LLC to place the asset in, lawyers drawing but shareholder agreements, etc. Without all of those protections - today for instance, one guy has to cash a 600K ticket, blow his bracket to hell, and deal with impending lawsuits from the interweb....No thanks.

would have been fun though to have gotten a loose total of what was wagered here today , put together an fantasy group ticket and see if we could have gotten the 9 home in the last leg
