WAT, folks, hurry up!

[W.A Trichlorostyrene]

Damn, forgot about this. Just 1 hour too late

[NaBUru38]

Oh, too bad. I'll send you messages directly, if you wish.

I'll have to watch the race tomorrow, so the results will be ready after that.

So, these are the results of the 2012 Edmonton Indy:

o- Polesitter: Hunter-Reay (2 to 1)
o- Fast Six: Hunter-Reay (2 to 1), Franchitti (10 to 1), Briscoe (10 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Tagliani (40 to 1), Castroneves (5 to 1)
o- Win: Castroneves (5 to 1)
o- Podium: Castroneves (5 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Power (2 to 1)
o- Top 5: Castroneves (5 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Power (2 to 1), Rahal (10 to 1), Tagliani (40 to 1)
o- Top 10: Castroneves (5 to 1), Sato (40 to 1), Power (2 to 1), Rahal (10 to 1), Tagliani (40 to 1), Franchitti (10 to 1), Hunter-Reay (2 to 1), Briscoe (10 to 1), Wilson (20 to 1), Dixon (5 to 1)

The optimal bets were Hunter-Reay for the pole and $ 600, Sato or Tagliani for the Fast Six and $ 4,000, Castroneves for the win and $ 5,000, Sato for the podium and $ 12,000, Tagliani for the top 5 and $ 4,000, and Wilson for the top 10 and $ 600, totalling a maximum $ 26,200. (Actually, that's impossible, because Sato and Tagliani are in three picks).

So here's the 2012 Bet'Em IndyContest results at Edmonton.

1st - Beetle: 0 + 4,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,200 = 5,200
2nd - NaBUru38: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 1,500 + 0 + 0 = 2,500
3rd - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 1,000 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1,000
4th - Marcostraz: 0 + 200 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 200
5th - Daisy: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
5th - Chiana: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0
5th - Eizox: 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0

Congratulations to Beetle for winning in the debut in the Bet 'Em IndyContest. Sato and Tagliani were two high stakes picks that paid well. I finished second by keeping it safe with two Penske picks. Three betters left the airport with empty pockets, including the standings leader Daisy.
