Contest Format -- 16 nationally prominent celebrities & handicappers have been invited by the management of the Stardust Race & Sports Book to compete for a winner-take-all $10,000 prize. Each week two contestants are matched against each other in a head to head meeting with each handicapper making 7 selections against the pointspread at the Stardust using the line at approximately 8:30 PM (the contest airs over radio station KDWN (AM 720) at 9:00 PM and is also available for broadcast on the Internet). One of the 7 selections is designated as a Best Bet. The winner is determined by the handicapper having the greater winning percentage with all selections rated equally. The Best Bet is used only as a tie breaker in the event both handicappers have the same record on all 7 selections. Pushes are ignored (thus 5-2 would lose to 4-1-2). The winner will be the handicapper who successfully wins a total of 4 matches with the finals to be held in week 17, December 27, 2002. The weekly contest is held in the Race & Sports Book at the Stardust at 9:00 PM on Fridays and is open to the public.
