The Early Speed bonus continues this Saturday and next. The overall leader on February 12 also receives a bonus! While R2K is a 16-week marathon, playing early and often is rewarded!

Bet On Yourself in R2K
Do you believe in your Road to Kentucky abilities? Bet on it!

Last week Craig Johnson won a $230 prize pool with a score of 1,907, besting the other entrants that backed up their R2K selections by playing in Bet On Yourself. Fifteen players scored better than Craig in R2K but inexplicably failed to enter the Bet On Yourself contest for an additional $10 entry fee. Do the handicapping and bet on yourself this Saturday!
