For the 2017 BCBC, a $2,500 buy-in and $7,500 betting bankroll ($10,000 total) is required of each player. All buy-in monies are applied to the prize pool. Players can bet into the Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta and Daily Double pools with their $7,500 bankroll over the two days and keep all monies earned from their betting. The estimated $1 Million Prize Pool is based on 400 players.

Last year’s BCBC winner was Joey Appelbaum of New York City, who bankrolled a $13,000 exacta wager on Arrogate and California Chrome in the Breeders’ Cup Classic to take the crown and a record winning prize of $364,000. A total of 396 players participated in the 2016 tournament.

“We’re excited to partner with the Breeders’ Cup to bring this prestigious and exciting wagering opportunity to our customers,” said Xpressbet President, Ron Luniewski. “The Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge has quickly established itself as one of the gold-standards in live, real money handicapping tournaments, and we’re proud to be associated with it.
