Contest Scoring

• Once a player has placed a $15 Win bet on at least five (5) separate races from Del Mar and/or Saratoga, ALL of his or her $15 WIN wagers placed on Del Mar and/or Saratoga on August 31 will be considered entered in the contest.
• Only $15 Win wagers placed on Del Mar and/or Saratoga on August 31, 2013 will qualify toward a Player's ROI total; no other wager types or dollar amounts will qualify.
• At the end of the day, all contests players will be ranked by their ROI on their combined $15 WIN wagers on races from Del Mar and/or Saratoga. ROI is calculated by subtracting the total amount bet in contest wagers from winnings returned from contest wagers, and dividing that sum by the total amount bet in contest wagers.
• Each Player’s ROI is then expressed as a percentage. For example, if a player bets $200 and wins $400 from those wagers, his or her ROI is 100%. $400 in winnings less $200 wagered equals $200, divided by $200 = 1 or 100%.
