Bill Roth doesn’t always play multiple tourneys with one set of picks. Even when he got up last Sunday morning, he wasn’t sure how many contests he might enter. The day’s menu was to his liking, however, and after handicapping the featured tourney races, he grew a bit more enthusiastic. Then he took a look at how many people had entered the various contests.
Our featured tourneys awarded 39 seats to important on-site competitions and $46,000 in cash last weekend. Much of that was offered on Sunday when we hosted 10 featured events, including no fewer than eight qualifiers. With such a full schedule, it presented an opportunity for someone with good opinions to have a truly memorable day. On Sunday, that someone was William Roth.
This weekend—a predominantly live-format weekend—has a little bit of everything: Another cash game with increased purses, a blowout mega qualifier, a first chance to qualify at one place, a last chance to qualify at another place…
What it has a whole lot of is NHC seats—as many as eight—spread out over two tournaments, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. These NHC qualifiers make up two of 16 (!) featured events this weekend.
The three Cs of buying an engagement ring are cut, color and clarity. For contest operations, HorseTourneys has three Cs as well: clarity, clarity and clarity.
It was another big weekend at HorseTourneys. No fewer than 23 seats to important, onsite contests were awarded over the space of about 28 hours. Meanwhile, on the cash front, $33,000 was earned by HorseTourneys players and that was just counting our featured tourneys.
While the NCAA Selection Committee busily crunches numbers to create its brackets this weekend, HorseTourneys players will be busy with selections of their own—ones that can lead to significant cash prizes and seats to important, big-money tournaments all throughout the country. (We think our Selection Sunday is better than theirs.)
In most cases, entries for a given day’s races are taken three days prior to race day (e.g. Wednesday for Saturday, Thursday for Sunday, etc.). So how come HorseTourneys rules state that players typically are not able to make their contest selections—or gain access to the free Brisnet past performances available—until roughly 24 hours before the start of a tourney?
It has become almost commonplace during a Pick & Pray weekend to see a player win multiple tournaments or prizes on a single day by entering a set of selections in more than one competition.
With this past weekend offering almost exclusively live-format tourneys, however, multiple wins by one player seemed to us like a far less likely proposition.
We were wrong.
It’s a big weekend coming up with the vast majority of our featured tourneys running in Live format. We’ll have the usual robust assortment of guaranteed cash games (including one for $25,000) and qualifiers for such events as the NHC, The BIG One, the Keeneland Grade I Gamble and many more. But we have a couple of new players joining the weekend lineup as well.
A salesman once described whole life insurance to me as “a flexible piece of financial property.” Well, so is HorseTourneys site credit!
