Great picks by zippyneedsawin and pweizer – they both chose winners but zippy picked the better paying winner and he’s now in the lead by $0.30!

# DT Member 7/27 TOTAL
1 zippyneedsawin W:$11.20 = 9: 5-4-0 $76.00
2 pweizer W:$9.20 = 9: 5-4-0 $75.70

Will this contest ever end or will it come down to the person with the most $$$ on the final day?
