Contest races:

Winner determined by:
Highest Return On Investment (ROI).

Contest rules:
Contest wagers are placed using real money and must be designated as contest wagers by checking the "Enter this wager in a contest" box on the Wager Pad in order to be officially counted in the contest. Only online wagers will count in the contest; telephone wagers are not eligible.

Contest play:
Contestants must place a Win wager for at least $10 ("Contest Wager") on at least six (6) different races from Cal Expo during the contest period. Contestants may place as many contest wagers as they choose; for any amount they choose ($10 or more), and all wagers will count in the contest.

Wagers on horses that are scratched will not count toward meeting the six race minimum requirement. Be sure to check for late scratches.

Wagers placed for a base value of less than $10 are not eligible for contest play.

Contestants may place a contest wager on more than one horse or entry per race and all wagers will count toward that contestant's final ROI. Contestants may place more than one contest wager on the same horse or entry and all such wagers will count toward that contestant's final ROI.

Scoring:
ROI is calculated by summing winning wagers and subtracting from that sum, the amount wagered (minus refunds), and then dividing that total by the amount wagered; expressing the total as a percentage.
Each qualifying contest is a separate contest in which an Official Winner will be determined.

Tiebreaker rules:
  • In the event of a tie between any of the top five finishers, the contestant who selects the most winning horses shall be awarded the higher prize.

  • If a tie still remains, the contestant who selects the horse with the highest pari-mutuel win price shall be awarded the higher prize.

  • If a tie still remains, the total prize money allocated to the tied contestants shall be divided equally between the tied contestants, with the exception of the First Prize.

  • If a tie for the First Prize remains unbroken after the first two tiebreakers, Youbet.com will conduct a separate contest, of its choosing, between the tied contestants to determine a single First Prize winner.
     
  • There can only be one (1) First Prize winner per contest. In the event a single member wins more than one contest, he or she shall be awarded second prize in the second or third contest that he or she is victorious. In such cases, the official second place finisher shall be awarded First Prize.
