8 1 THE CONDITIONS The purpose of the 2011 Handicapping Contest project is to compare, contrast and provide industry executives a benchmarking tool for handicapping contests. A total of 91 racetracks, casinos and on-line websites that offered contests in the last five years were selected to participate in the survey. Various thoroughbred, harness, greyhound racetracks and on-line websites were sent the survey via . The casinos surveyed were located in Las Vegas and the author of this project personally visited 33 Race & Sportsbooks. He met with sports book directors and managers to complete the surveys. 47 of the participants expressed an interest in receiving a copy of the results. The author of this document is a senior in the Race Track Industry Program at the University of Arizona and completed this work for his capstone project. Being an avid lifelong racing fan, the author had a high interest in the topic of this project since handicapping is his favorite part of the game. Furthermore, a project of this nature has not been conducted since 1999 and requires updating to reflect current rules and regulations. This project explores the most up to date information on handicapping contests and is exceedingly in depth regarding today s handicapping contest. 1
9 HISTORY: The early form of handicapping contests may date back to 1974, with the World Series of Handicapping (WSH) at Penn National. Charley Eckman, a legendary Radio Sportscaster for the Baltimore Orioles, the Baltimore Colts, and Thoroughbred Racing s World Series of Handicapping Speaker Extraordinaire, is credited with giving the event great coverage. On September 17, 1987, Delaware Park advertised a contest named in his honor. Penn National s WSH, the first major contest of its kind; consisted of professional horseplayers as well as amateurs. The three-day event attracted handicappers from all over the country who qualified in earlier preliminary rounds at the racetrack. The field was comprised of seeded public handicappers, authors and sports personalities with over a hundred contestants. Andrew Beyer, the speed figures genius of the Washington Post, entered the 1978 World Series as the post-time favorite. Picking winners is only part of the game; money management, mainly determining how much to bet on a race and whether to bet to win, place or show becomes a critical factor. The WSH once awarded a $100,000 first prize to winners. Now, the DRF and the NTRA has joined together to host a championship contest in Las Vegas each January, since
10 Executive Summary The project is laid out to give the reader informational and statistical data regarding contests/tournaments held in recent years. It outlines rules and regulations of the different venues which play host. Handicapping contests offered through casinos and racetracks have declined in recent years. Las Vegas casinos offer qualifying contest because of the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship and the Horse Players World Series (HPWS) held by Coast Casinos. Racetracks have changed the way contests are now conducted. Current economic conditions make for a situation that has become less feasible to host as many of these contest unlike past years. There is no longer a breakeven point and costs have virtually risen dramatically with significant profit loses. In general, contest players are not your big bettors; therefore small residual benefits, if any are generated. Handicapping contest, however are exciting to handicappers and a great part of measuring their abilities against the best from around the country. On-line websites have become the wave of the future. Easy sign-up and log-in procedure makes things convenient and provides more economical means of playing for contestants. The on-line host sites provide players good prize money and spots to both the NHC and the HPWS. 3
11 2 PAST PERFORMANCES In 1999 a senior in the Race Track Industry Program at the University of Arizona completed a capstone project entitled A Survey of Track Handicapping Contests Rules- Suggestions-Potential. This project conducted a 9 question survey from 22 participants that consisted of Las Vegas Race & Sportsbook, Thoroughbred, Harness and greyhound racetracks. Three professional handicappers were also interviewed. The data gathered centered on entry fees, number of contestants, and betting format. Suggestions were made to reach goals of handicapping contests that include customer satisfaction, revenue and new customers. The study then supplied copies of rules from the various participants. Given the small number of participants in the survey and the broad range of contest diversities offered to date, the past project is determined to be out-dated in presenting a true picture of handicapping contests. 4
