2007 Firecracker Challenge Handicapping Contest
1. THE CONTEST:
The Firecracker Challenge Handicapping Contest is a two day contest to be held Friday, July 6 and Saturday, July 7, 2007. This is a “real money” Handicapping Contest. Each player will begin with a $7,500 player bankroll. This $7,500 is a cash buy-in made directly by the player using his own money. Each player will receive a special Firecracker Challenge handicapping contest card that will be funded by his initial $7,500 investment. Using this card, for round one, each player must wager a minimum of $400 on every race (totaling a minimum of $3,600) on Hollywood Parks Friday night racing card, July 6, 2007. Only wagers on Hollywood Park races will count for the contest. These wagers must be placed using the Firecracker card in any self service machine.
PLAYERS MUST PARTICIPATE IN ROUND ONE ON FRIDAY, JULY 6, 2007 TO BE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ROUND TWO.
For round 2 of the contest, each player must again wager a minimum of $400 on every race (totaling a minimum of $4,400) on Hollywood Park’s races Saturday, July 7, 2007. Only wagers on Hollywood Park races will count for the contest and these wagers must be placed using the Firecracker card in any self service machine. Any deviation to this wagering schematic will result in disqualification. There are no maximum amounts of bets or number of Hollywood Park races in this contest, only minimums. Players may bet as much as they want, including winnings from their original bankroll, whenever they wish. However, if the player’s total bankroll falls below the minimum bet per race, the player is out of the Firecracker Handicapping Challenge. (For example: If a
player wants to bet his entire $7,500 in the first race at Hollywood Park Friday night, he is allowed to do so. However, if his return for that race is under $400 he will not be able to meet the criteria for subsequent wagers and will be out of the tournament.)
WAGER TYPES
The following are the wagering types allowed in the contest:
Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Quinella and Trifecta.
The player with the largest bankroll after the last race Saturday, July 7th will win the grand prize of $100,000!
Contest headquarters will be the Sunset Room located on the 4th floor in the Turf Club. This room will be a special Tournament area for both contest days and only participants will be allowed into this area.
At the conclusion of the Contest, any dollar amount remaining in the bankroll – whether it grows to $100,000 or falls to $10 – remains the property of the player.
