What is it?
- A contest where players guess (and may bet) on which Ace will cross the finish line first.
- The odds for each Ace are decided by the suits of (7) cards turned up at the beginning of each race.
- Any bets placed must be a minimum of 10 WRZ$ and a maximum of 100 WRZ$.
How do you Play?
- Post your guess of which Ace will cross the finish line first.
- If you wish to place a bet on an Ace, post your bet amount along with your selection. You must send your bet amount to our Bean Counter - Staty Jr
- Rewards will be based on the odds for each Ace.

Rules
- Players may only post once per round, otherwise all their posts will be invalid.
- Players must pay Staty Jr if they are placing a bet.
- If you are placing a bet, it must be listed under your Ace selection, if you are not placing a bet, you must say "No bet" under your Ace selection.
- A standard deck of 52 cards will be randomized (with the 4 Aces and Jokers removed, leaving 48 cards), the first 7 cards are the cards used to mark out the course and decide on the odds for each suit. If there are five or more cards of the same suit in the top row, the cards are randomized again, since it would be impossible for the Ace of that suit to win.
- The more often a suit appears in the top row, the less likely it is that the Ace of that suit will win.
- The remaining cards will be revealed 24 hours after the starting post. Cards will be counted left to right to determine the winning Ace. The Ace with the first 8 cards of their suit revealed will cross the finish line first and be declared the winner.
You can post anytime while the contest is open - but only those posts submitted during the scheduled magic hour of 23.00 to 23.59 UTC (about 10 hours from now) will count toward the Christmas Marathon.
