TRACKSIDE OTB SPRING HANDICAPPING CONTEST SERIES TO COINCIDE WITH SEMINARS HOSTED BY HANDICAPPER M. SCOTT McMANNIS
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (March 15, 2012) – Arlington Park will again offer live money handicapping contests at selected Illinois Trackside Off-Track Betting locations during April 2012 to be held in conjunction with handicapping seminars at each location conducted by handicapper M. Scott McMannis .
All players need to do to participate is purchase a $50 contest wagering card at the registration table at the designated Trackside contest site on the day of each contest and play a minimum of five races from any daytime Thoroughbred track whose post time is before is 6:30 p.m. Central time.
The first of the three scheduled contests is slated for Saturday, April 7 at Trackside Villa Park, located inside Tavern On North,
At each contest, players will compete for a berth in Coast Casino
The winner of each contest will earn a berth into the HPWS ($1,500 value) as well as a $350 travel voucher while the runner-up in each contest will earn a berth into the TwinSpires.com Online Handicapping Championship on Nov. 24, 2012 – a $1,000 value. The winner of the TwinSpires.com berth must be a member of TwinSpires.com in order to participate in the Online Handicapping Championship. Cash prizes will be awarded to the third- and fourth-place finishers.
“The Trackside Handicapping Contest Series is a particularly attractive way to win a berth into the Horseplayer World Series or into the TwinSpires.com Online Handicapping Championship since there is no entry fee into the contest as the $50 contest card players purchase is actually their live bankroll for the contest,” said McMannis.
Each contest will be organic to a typical day at the track, meaning that players will have the flexibility to wager in more pools (Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta, Superfecta, and multi-race wagers such as the Pick 3 and Pick 4) than in most other contests and have freedom to participate from any location within the designated Trackside Off-Track Betting facility as there is no need for assigned contest wagering windows. However, all wagers must be made using the contest card at self-service terminals only. Players may invest winnings into future wagers. For complete contest rules, visit
