Betting Tips Racing Dudes Handicapping Challenge: Halterman vs. Von Hemel February 23, 2014 Betting Tips Racing Dudes Handicapping Challenge: Halterman vs. Von Hemel February 23, 2014 By: Aaron Halterman twitterfacebooklinkedinemail Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article Trust us, we’ve heard it all. “You suck at handicapping”. “You don’t provide value”. And my favorite, “Try picking something other than favorites. No skills. Keep up the average work” (Thanks Trace). This game is hard folks. But hey, we get it. Everyone has an opinion. We just try to do as good of a job of a possible so that you might find what we do valuable. With all that said, we thought we would open this up a bit to some friendly competition! I introduce to you, the first installment of the Racing Dudes Handicapping Challenge. Each weekend we will select 8 to 10 races from around the country and offer up a little handicapping challenge. Old school rules apply…winner stays, loser walks. This week’s challenge pairs up two fierce opponents: Resident Dude Aaron Halterman vs. Super Farrier Kelby Von Hemel The rules are simple. Fake $2 Win/Place wagers ($2 to Win and $2 to Place) will be made on the horse a player selects in each race. Only one horse may be selected per race. If a player’s horse wins, the player score is credited on both the Win and Place payouts. If the horse finishes second, the player score is credited only on the Place payout. And just so we’re clear, all wagers and payouts from races are NOT REAL and will be used for scoring purposes only. (Had to say it) In the event of a late scratch, players may change picks provided given race has not started. If picks have already closed, the scratched horse will be replaced with the post-time favorite for that race. Today’s challenge races: 1 Gulfstream Park Race 4 (1:07 CST) 2 Gulfstream Park Race 7 (2:34 CST) 3 Aqueduct Race 8 (2:48 CST) 4 Gulfstream Park Race 9 (3:33 CST) 5 Oaklawn Park Race 6 (3:46 CST) 6 Fair Grounds Race 7 (4:25 CST) 7 Oaklawn Park Race 8 (4:42 CST) 8 Oaklawn Park Race 9 (5:10 CST) 9 Santa Anita Park Race 8 (6:07 CST) The picks: Halterman Race Von Hemel #5 (Off) GP R4 #5 (Off) #1 (1st 8.60 4.40) GP R7 #7 (2nd 4.00) #3 (3rd) AQU R8 #4 (Off) #6 (Off) GP R9 #7 (Off) #5 (1st 3.00 2.60) OP R6 #5 (1st 3.00 2.60) #10 (2nd 3.40) FG R7 #2 (Off) #2 (1st 6.60 3.60) OP R8 #6 (Off) #1 (1st 6.80 4.60) OP R9 #1 (1st 6.80 4.60) #4 (Off) SA R8 #1 (Off) $43.60 Final $21.00 You think you can hang with the big boys (or girls)?
