Default Cap the Players going for the Gallivan Cup (odds noted) wagers here

Combining those going for the Gallivan Cup and capping the players. You have $100 to wager on the player or players of your choice and to make it easy on JB you may only place win bets. Example $50 win Plenilune, $50 win ryonker. The initial odds will change after the wagers are placed.

PLACE YOUR WAGERS IN THIS THREAD. This is for the Points Contest results for the full BC Card.

Going for the Cup with total points as of 10-28:

560 DonGuido (3-1) cold lately but tough on the big day cards
502 JolyB (3-1) hottest capper as of late and should never be counted out
431 Ruffian (7-2) consistent all year and always dangerous
399 Real Quiet (5-1) sneaky good don't overlook
314 Plenilune (6-1) the wise guy pick
253 Ryonker (7-1) hard not to like him on big race days
223 Cruzan (10-1) another sneaky good capper and twice the return of RQ
159 NJ Stinks (15-1) long shot and if he played every contest he'd likely lead the pack
97 Digger(15-1) if he's in the gate another wise guy pick
80 Indian Hemp (20-1) at these odds why not go with IH if he decides to run

Ga'luk to all!!! Questions?

Now that's EXOTIC! "How about a nice game of chess" instead? [With thanks to the 1983 movie "War Games"]

Your wager is fine now that you have changed it to only Win wagers. Good catch Ruffian.

Good luck, Cruz.

The wagers have been made, and we are awaiting a winner.

Here are the odds on each of our players. Please note that in Don Guido's betting emporium there is no takeout, and no breakage. I guess that what he loses on each transaction, he makes it up in volume.

1. Ryonker - 4.73 - 1

2. Ruffian - 6.67 - 1

3. JolyB - 7.78 - 1

4. Real Quiet - 8.23 - 1

5. Cruzan - 8.33 - 1

6. Plenilune - 10.77 - 1

7. Don Guido - 11.66 - 1

8. NJ Stinks - 21.21 - 1

9. Digger - 46.67 - 1

10. Indian Hemp - 46.67 - 1

Any errors or corrections, please let me know. Winner will be posted after the Classic has been made official.

Thanks JB, I can see the years of legal high finance have proved you're up to most any mathematical task. Is it ratios, algebra, calculus or just plain 'ol add-subtract-multiply and divide?
