“As a real money tournament Cash Is King is the perfect practice grounds for the high-end bankroll contests,” stated Richard Nilsen, tournament director and 15x NHC qualifier. “In addition to competing for the huge grand prize, you keep your winnings each week and play without incurring any high contest takeout.”
Please read the rules carefully. Any questions should be directed to rich.nilsen @ betptc.com
The BetPTC real-money tournament is back. Cash is King X runs from Saturday, July 21 until the end of October, with a championship finals November 10-11, 2018. Jump in and play at any time! For only a one-time $75 fee you can play in all 15 contest weeks!
This is a real-money contest so, in addition to any prizes, you keep whatever you win. But that’s not all. In a tournament environment where takeouts can go as high as 30% or even more, this is the best value in the country!
The Cash is King contest at BetPTC.com takes away the inequities of traditional handicapping tournaments and lets you play how you want, on the tracks you want, with a very small, minimum amount of wagering.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a big bettor or a small bettor. Everyone has an equal chance to win the prizes in the one-of-a-kind Cash Is King contest at BetPTC.com. If you are wagering with us on the weekends, you should be participating!
To qualify for contest scoring each Saturday, you must wager a minimum of only $125 in contest wagering. Play your favorite tracks and make your favorite wagers, all using a bankroll that fits your budget. There are no mandatory tracks and no specific bets required. The contest is scored on your return on investment (ROI), not on how much you wager.
WHY PLAY THIS CONTEST?
It’s true. Traditional handicapping tournaments aren’t for everyone. If the contest is filled with mandatory races at tracks you don’t normally play, it slants the playing field toward others in the contest who play those circuits. Cash money contests often require large minimum wagering thresholds or entry fees that price most players out.
You can parlay a top finish in this contest into a major score on Pegasus Cup day!
RULES & PRIZES
Finish in the top 3 on any Saturday feeder (dates listed below) and you qualify to compete in the November 10-11th Finals of Cash Is King X. There will be a maximum of 45 members eligible to compete in the Finals where a full berth to the PEGASUS CUP BETTING CHAMPIONSHIP will be given away plus thousands in other cash prizes!
How is scoring calculated?
This is an R.O.I. (Return on Investment) based contest that utilizes your regular wagering during the course of the day. Prizes are based on ROI on the players’ accounts. ROI is calculated by dividing wagering returns by the amount wagered. BetPTC rewards are not included in the calculation. For example, a player makes $2,000 in contest-designated wagers on a Saturday and his or her return is $3,000. The calculation for that Saturday is as follows: $3000/$2000 -1 = 50% ROI.

Wagering Rules for Finals
Cash Is King X Championship Finals on November 10-11, 2018
Finalists must wager $250 or more over each day of the Nov. 10-11, 2018 weekend to be eligible for any of the prizes.
Wagering Rules for $2,000 Bonus Prize Pool
“Bonus” Prize Pool players only will compete on Friday, November 16, 2018. Participants must wager $200 or more on that day in order to be eligible for Bonus Pool prizes. This is an R.O.I. based, single-day contest which will determine the prize winners. If only one person is eligible for the “Bonus” Prize Pool they must still wager the required minimum threshold ($200) in order to claim their prize money.
Tiebreakers for Prizes:
If there is a tie for the weekly prize, the tie will go to the player who wagered the most money on that Saturday. If that still does not break the tie, then the player who cashed on the most individual bets will win the tie. If that still does not break the tie, a playoff date will be chosen for the two players to compete for the Finals spot.
Ties for the championship finals’ prizes will be broken based on the player who participated in the most Saturdays throughout the year.
If this does not break the tie, the tie will be broken based on which player wagered the most amount of money over the course of the Finals’ weekend. If this does not break the tie, the player with the highest gross ROI over the entire year will break the tie.
