next contest

[Every Topic]

well done Becareful - excellent work.

so, what happens now - who is volunteering to run the next contest and what format will it be?

And, did we learn anything from the last contest???
I think I did.
I learnt...
a) thou shalt write in ones tipping email the same names as one writes on the tipping pad - idiot !!!
b) thou shalt enter at the beginning so one isnt desperately trying to satisfy the minimum requirement and throw in too many dodgy catch up tips.
c) thou shalt ensure one makes at least 5 tips per week.
d) thou shalt not change systems mid way through the contest , a few of us might be guilty of that one :smile:
e) thou shalt send the organiser bigger cheques when the systemn fails !

well done - I loved it

see ya

O.K. I am guilty because I trialled three different systems so I could see how it worked out "real-time" without putting the cash on!

Wish I'd stuck to my own methods.

:sad:

ET,

:eek:

Give me some time to recover from this one first!

A lot of people could learn from your point e) - the bribes I was offered were just pathetic :grin:

I would consider helping with another one next year (maybe Autumn carnival?) but with some revised rules. The main one being we either limit it to Saturday only or allow tips all week but only post results once a week - doing it every night was getting a bit much by the end of the competition!

Just a suggestion, perhaps only Saturdays & everyone starts with a bank, say $5000, & is allowed whatever bets they want. Once it's gone, you're out.
