Did anyone start a "friends" group at the DM site for DT folks?

Good Luck to Everyone and thanks again.
You're welcome. As far as the friends group, I don't know that anyone started one or if there is any interest. I guess you would have to know what everyone's user name is for the contest. Last year, I think we just put our picks on this thread.

I'm thinking I might go with a show bet to give me some confidence, as I don't want to start off in negative numbers.

As the contest goes further, I realize I need some straight $100 win bets.
It's a tough race. I've already changed my mind 4 times

So far I am on the 1.

Thread will work great.

I'm $80 on the 10 to Win and $20 to Show on the #2

I agree with Arletta, VERY tough race. First time through, the #10 was my fourth choice

You can bet whatever you like, but have a shot to win, your going to have to throw up some $100 to win bets more often than not.

I went with $50 win and place on Sammy Manderville. Glad I checked again, because initially when I made my pick last night I took the Rhyno. It had the 13 listed as scratched.

I thought I had a huge chance turning for home. No punch... Oh well...
