Virtual Kentucky Derby

[upperdeck]

So in looking at how this was set up I am wondering how to bet it. They says its like the NBA lottery chances

just trying to grasp what that means and the best way to make a bet

5 horses at 15-1 to 20-1
7 horses at 4-1 to 8-1
the Big red at 7-2

so trying to figure out what that really means in real chances..

if you assume say 500 balls you cant get the true odds to add up correctly.. it comes out to about 775 balls in play for every 500 so if you multiple by .66 you end up with 510 chances

so now Secretariat has 150 chance out of 1000
Citation 132
Affirmed 110
Seattle Slew 110

the top 4 horse have 1/2 of the odds.

$5 on those 4 for $20 with a winnings of $12 - $25..

I think though any virtual race the doesnt have Big Red winning is just wrong but my site has him at +120 so thats giving away half my odds.

I never got to make the best 50 yrs ago so I am making it now..

If Secretariat doesn't win the concept is a farce. Fastest time in all 3 races, I'm watching but I'm prepping to be disappointed.

Its not a real simulation so who knows..

i cant really tell when its on tv.. I for 1 site that says 4pm and 1 that says 5pm

I should have made my bet last night though. big red was as +200 and down to +110.

I put money on Citation just for a value play.
