Horse Racing - Trainer Lottery, First come first serve! Started by: Mercy_Fiorentino on Sep 30, '20 19:24

Howdy y'all!

In the build up to launching our here first horse race event, I wanted to give everyone an opportunity to purchase themselves a horse!

Mercy bangs her palm on the side of her head to knock the cowboy accent out.

Now, I need to make sure that everyone understands that at this moment, this is a lottery. There is currently no known performance benefit to any of these beauties, which includes track types they will race on. It's as much a game of chance at this stage. As we get closer to the event itself, a few training races will be run to determine their race history, which will give a better idea as to their expected performance. 

How it works:

  • The Trainer Lottery will be run as a side gig to the main race events
  • I will take payment from yourself of $500,000 and invest it into some credit for security purposes
  • Transfer rates to credit and back will be covered by myself
  • At the end of the event itself, the top three horse trainers will have the pot split between them, with preference to the best performing one

Rules to becoming a trainer:

  • It's first come, first serve
  • 1 Horse per person
  • In the event of your death, every effort will be made to identify your kin to pick up your place
  • In the event of my death, my accountant will return the credit values to you
  • In the event of everyone's death... well we'll see how bad that might be at the time

Now, I'm going to release the details of 10 of our racers, so please follow these steps:

  • DO NOT just sent money
  • DO NOT just announce you would like a horse
  • PLEASE just announce the name of the horse you'd like to purchase, I will then pick up the details with you.

In the morning tomorrow I will release the final 10 horse names.

This may get no interest, it may get lots. I just hope you all enjoy it!

Yee-haw!

Report Post Tip

Newt walked up looking over the fine horses up for sale in the upcoming races and found the one that spoke to him best...

"I believe that Sleepy Fishy would be a fine fit for what I am looking for in a horse. Please let me know if I'll be able to make the purchase." He smiled and continued inspecting the horse.
