How to Play

  • Any eligible player may enter the contest by placing a wager for exactly $15 to Win with his or her TwinSpires.com account on at least five (5) separate races (combined) from Del Mar and/or Saratoga on August 31, 2013.
  • Eligible players who place a $15 Win wager on at least five (5) separate races from Del Mar and/or Saratoga with their TwinSpires.com accounts will be considered “contest players.”
  • Contest players may compete for prizes by recording the highest Return on Investment (ROI) from ALL $15 Win wagers placed at Del Mar and/or Saratoga on Saturday, August 31.

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%.
