The Los Alamitos Racing Association will offer a cash prize and as many as four seats to the 2020 National Handicapping Championship in a live money handicapping contest July 6. There is a $400 entry fee with $100 of that going into the prize pool and the rest going towards a live-money wagering card. Contestants must enter prior to 1 p.m.
Tournament races will include the entire card at Los Alamitos with permitted wagers including win, place, show, exactas, daily doubles and trifectas. Each entry must bet at least $60 per race on five races during the contest to be eligible for prizes, but there is no wagering limit.
The player with the highest bankroll at the end of the day will be declared the winner and the player with the second highest bankroll will be the runner-up. The winner will receive 50% of the prize pool. The remaining payoffs: 20% (2nd place), 15% (3rd place), 7.5% (4th place) and 7.5% (most money wagered).
Three NHC berths will be up for grabs if the contest has a minimum of 60 entrants. A fourth spot will be added if the contest has 120 entries or more. Two NHC seats will be available if there are less than 60 entrants.
