DerbyWars horse racing contests
In horse racing, blanket finish is a term used to describe a race that is so close you could throw a blanket over the field. Well, the $20k Game won on February 2 by Joe Rotell was anything but a blanket finish despite his username being “blanketfinish”. It was quite the oxymoron as he accumulated a score of $101.60 throughout the handicapping contest.
