Play Kentucky Derby 2018, KSR Style
Rules are simple--you have $100 pretend KSR-bucks to wager on the Derby. Person with the most money remaining after the race wins.
One year somebody (Oledon?) said they took the $100 and put it in their pocket. As I recall, they won the contest that year. Badrose won it one year with a $330 day, as I recall. I don't recall huge wins; his may have been the best. Thedonnie123 won last year with $181, nipping Doc's $180. (His secret was he kept $10 in his pocket, only wagered $90, won $171. Clever.)
We'll use the correct odds, but here are the current ones, courtesy of Bovada. If you play early, watch for scratches (unless you just want a refund) so you can place another wager.

Re: Play Kentucky Derby 2018, KSR Style
I'm sorta bummed about My Boy Jack...thought I'd get a deal on a cheap show ticket, but just checked and odds have dropped from 30-1 to 5-1. Liked him before the track got muddy, and liked him even more now--as do many others lol.

Re: Play Kentucky Derby 2018, KSR Style
I show Blueboss the big winner walking away with $532, and badrose another nice day with $390 right behind him.
Dan had a good profitable day with $222, and I managed to do a little better than break even with $156.
Flounder cut his losses with a $75 winner, and everybody else just enjoyed the history!
Thanks for playing, all. If I miscalculated, let me know.
