The Saturdays In The Spa x LevyPool Tournament Has Arrived

Welcome to the first ever Saturdays in the Spa tournament pool! Since there sadly won’t be fans at the track this season, I wanted to spice up the summer meet a little bit the only way I know how…gambling! Check out the weekly tournament I set up with the help of LevyPool.com, it’s going to be run each Saturday this summer and has weekly and season long prizes. And don’t worry, there is zero rake being taken from the house. All the rules are set up below, if you have any more questions feel free to let me know in the comments below or DM me on twitter @SpaSaturdays! Enjoy!

**CONTEST OPENS 7/16**

HOW TO PLAY:

  • Each Saturday, players select one horse in each race running at Saratoga as well as an alternate pick to be used in the event of any scratches
  • $100 entry for the season (July 18th – September 5th)

SCORING:

  • Scoring is based on a $2 win and $2 place bet on your horse for each race 
    • If your horse wins, you collect on both the Win and Place wagers. If your horse finishes in the Place position (2nd), you collect only on the Place wager.
    • For example: if you select horse #1 at 1/1 odds and it wins, your payout would be $4 for the win bet and ~$3 for the show bet, totaling $7. However, if you select horse #2 who has 25/1 odds and it comes in 2nd, you’d receive a higher payout (score) than the person that selected the 1/1 winner. 
    • Example Race 1 payout:
Note: Payouts in the above graph are fictional.
  • All picks must be made prior to Race 1 each week.
  • For more information on scoring, check out https://horseplayers.com/rules, which uses the same scoring method. 

PAYOUTS: 

  • Weekly payouts will consist of roughly 40% of the prize pool and will be distributed evenly across the 8-week season; so each week’s winner will receive 5% of the total prize pool. 
  • The season long payout is where the money is at. Scores from all the weeks combined are used here, payout scale as followed (based on the remaining 60% of the prize pool):
    • 1st: 55%
    • 2nd: 25%
    • 3rd: 12.5%
    • 4th: 5%
    • 5th: 2.5%
  • More details to come regarding payouts once we have an idea of the number of participants.

ENTER PICKS:

  • Contest opens Thursday, 7/16. Entry will be made via saturdaysinthespa.com.
  • A Google form will be sent out to participants each week once Saturday’s Saratoga card is released for players to make their selections.
  • Once Race 1 goes off, selections are locked for the day. 
  • Weekly/season long leaderboards will be as soon as possible after a race is official.

PAYMENT:

  • Payment is due Saturday, July 18th at 1:15pm (post time of Race 1), no exceptions. Pay via Venmo (@saturdaysinthespa) or PayPal (kylelevy123@gmail.com).

    Great idea! Thanks for running. Question I’m getting from friends…will everyone’s picks be visible after the first race goes off/when picks become locked. Thanks again.

    1. Valid question, and thanks for joining! Picks will NOT be visible for others prior to Race 1. Once Race 1 goes off, everyone’s picks will be visible to others. Let me know if you have any other questions!

  2. hey Kyle, im trying to join the tourney but didn’t look at the card yet.. do I send ya the money to hold my spot then when im done handicapping the card I click contest, put my info and my pics? missing anything..? can we make changes to our pics or once there in there in..? thanks …

    1. No need to send money before submitting your picks! Most are waiting til tomorrow to get theirs in. Also, once you do make your picks you are more than welcome to change them prior to the start of race 1. Thanks for playing, very excited for tomorrow.

  3. I think that everything posted made a great deal
    of sense. However, what about this? suppose you added a
    little content? I ain’t saying your content is not solid, however what if you added something that makes people want more?
    I mean The Saturdays In The Spa x LevyPool Tournament Has Arrived – Saturdays in The Spa is kinda plain. You
    might peek at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news titles to grab people
    to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve
    written. In my opinion, it might make your posts a little bit more interesting.
