Vote #187

The following question was presented:

It's that time of the year again where I find myself with Mr O driving to a couple of NASCAR races. This year we're doing Phoenix and Vegas. As with last year, we will be having a little wager. Before each race we have to pick either Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards (Ron Hornaday for the trucks as Carl isn't in that competition). The rules are (currently and subject to change) $10 per race and there are five races. Who will win the Busch Edwards/Hornaday betting series?

Results:

Rag was the clear winner with 71% of the votes selected from the following:

Mr O. (29%)
Rag (71%)
It will be a draw (0%)

Note that I did point out that the rules are $10 per race currently. If it stays that way then there will be a winner, however, we're as likely to do a double or quits on the last race. As I said, the rules can change.

Well, I left Phoenix 2-1 up, but I suspect Mr O may take the Vegas races to win 3-2.

Let me hear you sing "we're in the money .. we're in the money ..". Or how about this one "Owen is a loser, Owen is a loser la-la la la ...". As you can probably tell, I go into the last race 3-1 up which must be the first time I've won. Will it be $10 or $30 though?

Analysis:

To all those that had faith in me, thanks. I have to admit that I'm truly surprised, however, I did deliver a crushing 4-1 victory over Mr. O leaving me $30 to the good. In fact, it must be the most crushing victory dealt by anybody in this kind of championship before. If I really think about it, it has to be setting the standard for future years. Is there a way back in it for Mr. O or has he had his day. Only time will tell. In the meantime, he has a year to lick his wounds.
