View Full Version : 8th. May Box a Trifecta competition


Management
6th May 2010, 10:43 AM
Entries close on Saturday at 12.15 pm. Sydney time. Of course you can't tip from any races that have an official starting time of 12.15 pm. Sydney time or earlier!

The meetings you can tip from are:

Belmont
Flemington (Not R1.)
Gold Coast (Not R1.)
Ipswich (Not R1, R2 & R3.)
Morphettville
Newcastle (Not R1.)
Pakenham (Not R1.)
Rosehill
Toowoomba

Please make sure you know the rules before you box your two trifectas in this thread.

This competition is fun and free to enter each week. You are given two chances to select a winning trifecta from Saturday's races. The person who tips the trifecta with the biggest dividend paying at least $240 (equivalent to tipping a $4.00 winner) wins.

The winner is given four tips instead of two in next week's Tip a Winner competition, so doubling your chances of winning it! So read on ...

1. Each Thursday we'll tell you the race meetings held on Saturday from where you can box your trifectas and let you know the competition's closing time for the final post.

2. Each person is allowed to select two box trifectas. Each trifecta can have five horses selected. When you box your two trifectas, for each trifecta give:

a) The race meeting.
b) The race number.
c) The TAB numbers in order of your five horses. To help with reading your entries please place the number of each horse on a new line.

Example:

Moonee Valley
Race 7
2
4
7
9
16

Rosehill
Race 8
1
7
12
14
17

You should ensure that you correctly post the details of a), b) and c) above such as the correct race meeting. For example, if the meeting is at Randwick you should post Sydney or Randwick, NOT Rosehill. If you post Rosehill then your entry is null and void.

3. Once someone posts their two trifectas, they own any winning trifecta combinations that can be made from the five horses in each race, so when you post make sure you don't post the identical numbers in the same race.

4. Each person's trifecta is all in, meaning should a horse be scratched after you selected it in your trifecta you do not get another horse. This is only fair because once you post your five horses in a race before anyone else in this competition you own any trifecta combination they make in this competition.

5. For each of your trifectas you are allowed to include no more than three numbers anyone else may have included if they tipped a trifecta in the same race. However, should two or more people have the same three horses in the competition's winning trifecta, the prize will be awarded to the person who posted first as per clause number 3. above. You might be quite happy having three horses which were posted by someone else earlier than you, because you might be confident that one or both of your two other horses will be in the trifecta.

6. However, if you find out that you've accidentally included three or more numbers in your trifecta that are the same as someone who posted earlier you are allowed to make a new post before the competition's closing time.

7. In your new post, you will need to tell us the number of your previous post (every post in the thread will have a different number) and the user name and number of the post that had three or more numbers in their trifecta tipped before you posted. This post will have a lower number than your post.

8. You are not allowed to alter your trifecta just because you've changed your mind.

9. Posts with an edited message at the bottom are not accepted so do not edit your post after it has already been posted by you.

10. The person whose trifecta wins at the best odds, paying a dividend of at least $240, as published on the Sportsbet Australia web site is the winner. Click here (http://record.sportsbetaffiliates.com.au/__BBFWysCs1WhJjIwNC_yVWNd7ZgqdRLk/1/results/racing/Date/today) for the results page. If two or more people tie because their trifectas in different races pay the same dividend then they both will be given four tips in next week's Tip a Winner competition.

11. Please note as it costs $60 to box five horses with $1 units, your winning box five trifecta must pay a dividend of at least $240 using $1 units to be eligible for the weekly the prize. This is equivalent to tipping a $4.00 winner.

12. Each week the winner will be posted in that week's tipping thread by the following Friday - usually on a Monday or Tuesday. We'll also allow 24 hours before we declare correct weight, just in case there's a protest by someone who thinks they should be declared the winner because we may have made a clerical error.

We didn't realise the five horses you boxed filled the first five places in a field of 12. Well done!

Your trifecta and first four would have both been good collects if the $1.90 favourite Road To Rock, instead of finishing second, finished fifth.

We'd like to declare you the winner, but really have to play it by the rules as this is a box 5 trifecta competition. Your trifecta paid a dividend of $53.30. Two other entries tipped higher paying trifectas than you.

We don't have any countback method in the rules if no trifecta makes the minimum $240 collect needed to win.

It's something we'll look at.
