Default Wager on Call to Post Players going for the Gallivan Cup here . . . Odds Up

Win bets only. You have $100 to wager all on one player or split in among no more than 4 players. Again, win bets only. No exotics.

ODDS to follow . . . with my usual trite and trivial comments . . . and we all know any of these entries can will the Cup. And all players can wager not just the top 10. And JB again this year will figure the payouts . . . thankfully not me

JolyB - 5/2 crem dem la crem, one of the most consistent top payers we have in the group, year in year out, BC Day wins are not his cup of tea but to bet against him may be foolish pleasure
Ruffian - 3/1 unorthodox bettor, but nails the big payoffs (go figure) and has figured out the points contest being muc,h much better than years past . . . the feline queen is a solid wager
Real Quiet - 3/1 as well among the best on the board and is only better'd winning the Cup by one player here so on the big days he's always a threat
Criminal Type - 4/1 is the solidly unpredictable (HUH??) and along with his Colorado partner has the points game pretty much in tow . . . his wagers may even rival the gotcha picks of our feline queen
DonGuido - 5/1 missed nearly a 1/4 of the handicapping year and his points numbers show it, but with his 5th possible BC win this year, he may just have to be inducted into the Gallivan Cup Hall of Fame . . . "dark horse" of the year
Cruzan200246 - 7/1 likely the "wise guy" pick because when you least expect it he nails the points and ROI contests with pride
Ryonker1 - 8/1 Never to be overlooked as he is sneaky good and at these odds the return is hard to overlook
Plenilune - 10/1 is the "wise lady" pick because she may know more about and care more about this sport than all of us put together and can match skills with any player here
Digger 12/1 - has been hot lately and coming into form at the right time . . . nice long shot play
swedejxn 12/1 - does not play the contests that often but when you see him in the gate you take notice another nice long shot play

OK- I'll go with $15 each on Cruzan200246, Plenilune, and Swedejxn
and then the other $55 on Ruffian

In checking past performances on the last 5 times we've played Santa Anita or part of the card there- Ruffian's record is
2 firsts
1 second
1 third

Hits the board often-

Best of luck everyone

thanks
Ron

$33 On Don for his dedication to our forum all year when he could
be using that time for his own personal needs

$33 On Plenilune for the same reasons

$33 On Real Quiet for his distorted humorous results

Final odds for the Gallivan Cup are somewhat different than Don Guido's very polite morning line. We had 8 bettors who wagered a total of $799 (there is always someone in the game who saves his last buck for a beer - a wise choice, CT)

The final odds, expressed in the form that you would see them on the tote board, are as follows:

RQ: 7-2
CT: 5-1
DG: 7-1
Ruff: 8-1
Plen: 9-1
Cruz: 17-1
JB: 19-1
Ron: 26-1
Swede: 53-1
Digger: 79-1

Payoffs to be announced shortly after the Gallivan Cup competition has been declared official.

When Real Quiet runs off the board Digger should have saved a dollar for the bus ride home (grin).
