Gauging interest in a Kentucky Derby Contest

Pete and I have discussed some ideas for having a contest/lottery around the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2nd. We thought rather than pick the winner, we'd make it more of a game of chance and try to pick the last place finisher. We'd also offer prizes from our personal stashes for anyone who lands a trifecta or exacta for the last three or two finishers.

If you would be interested in playing, post your interest here. I don't want to bother laying out rules and details unless we have enough to play. We're thinking around 12 is the ideal number to account for scratches and keep guys from getting stuck with a 2-1 horse when you're trying to finish last :)

Sorry... just saw this was in the pipe forum. I'm addicted to the "New Posts" option and fail to check the category.

Carry on pipe smokers and be safe out there!

Tobias, great minds must think a like (Pete and Myself, of course) as I was thinking about setting one up on the cigar side!

I was thinking of giving folks a $50 bankroll to bet win, place, show, with whom ever wins the most money getting a prize from me. Thought it might be too complicated, so anxiously watching yours (so I can steal it)! :)

What?! I get to pick the loser? I should be great at that because I sure cant pick the winners! Just my luck I havent delved into the slippery slope of pipes...so far.

Do you need a pipe, or be a pipe smoker, an what constitutes a pipe?

Yeah, Harvey. This one if for pipe smokers because the wagers and payouts would be in pipe tobacco. :pipe: I think Andy was talking about doing one on the cigar side.

I understand, but you guys just make it so interesting, I am constantly googlin the pipes an tobaccos you guys list everyday in the what did you smoke. A free(greatest word) pipe an tobacco might bring me back to smokin a pipe. enjoy your contest, I will be watching...

I know nothing about horse racing. Unless you count that one time in Vegas when I was drunk....I was an expert at all things that day....

Anyways, I love sport and gambling. OK I love gambling more probably....what I'm trying to say is I'm in.

I'm in! I haven't picked a winner yet so I must be closing in on something.
