Beetle won $ 1,200 for picking Hunter-Reay as polesitter. Xpunk75 and NaBUru38 got $ 600 for choosing Hinchcliffe for the Fast Six, and Marcostraz got $ 400 for picking Hunter-Reay.

Nobody picked Hinchcliffe for the win. Canada ALMS fan got $ 1,800 for choosing him for the podium, whereas Mythoughtsareracing cashed $ 2,400 for choosing Sato for the podium. Xpunk75 and NaBUru38 got $ 400 for picking Sato for the top 10. Everyone but Beetle got $ 300 for picking Chevrolet for the win.

So, these are the results of the Bet 'Em IndyContest round 4 São Paulo:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: 0 + 0 + 0 + 2,400 + 0 + 300 = 2,700
2nd - Canada ALMS fan: 0 + 0 + 0 + 1,800 + 0 + 300 = 2,100
3rd - Xpunk75: 0 + 600 + 0 + 0 + 400 + 300 = 1,300
4th - NaBUru38: 0 + 600 + 0 + 0 + 400 + 300 = 1,300
5th - Beetle: 1,200 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1,200
6th - Marcostraz: 0 + 400 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 300 = 700

Mythoughtsareracing beat Canada ALMS fan for the win, while Xpunk75 and NaBUru38 tied for third place.

Standings after round 4:

1st - Mythoughtsareracing: $ 10,050
2nd - Beetle: $ 9,490
