Please make sure you know the rules before you box your two First Fours in this thread.
This competition is fun and free to enter each week. You are given two chances to select a winning First Four or Trifecta from Saturday's races.
THE WINNER IS GIVEN:
The chance to play for $400 FIRST PRIZE in the next Tip a Winner competition.
That's right - first prize will be a guaranteed $400 cash!!
So read on ...
1. Each Wednesday or Thursday we'll tell you the race meetings held on Saturday from where you can box your five numbers and let you know the competition's closing time for the final post.
2. Each person is allowed one entry. In that entry each person is allowed to select two box five First Fours. The same numbers will be used for your Trifectas. Each First Four can have five horses selected. When you box your two First Fours, for each First Four give:
a) The race meeting. 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. Should your second First Four not include a race meeting, we will assume it is for the same race meeting as your first First Four.
* If the meeting is at Canterbury, Randwick, Rosehill or Warwick Farm you can post Sydney for the meeting.
* If the meeting is at Caulfield, Flemington, Moonee Valley or Sandown you can post Melbourne for the meeting.
* If the meeting is at Doomben or Eagle Farm you can post Brisbane for the meeting.
* If the meeting is at Ascot or Belmont you can post Perth for the meeting.
* If the meeting is at Morphettville you can post Adelaide for the meeting.
* If the meeting is anywhere else you must name the race track.
b) The race number. If there is no race number those selections are null and void.
c) The TAB numbers, preferably in order, of your five horses. Should you include more than five numbers for any First Four, your first five numbers only will be used for that First Four.
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
3. Once someone posts a valid entry, they own any winning 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 First Four is all in, meaning should a horse be scratched after you selected it 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 combination they make in this competition.
5. In each of your two entries you are allowed to include no more than three numbers anyone else may have included if they tipped 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.
DO NOT DELETE OR EDIT YOUR POST
6. We need transparency with everyone entering being able to read what has been posted. You will be disqualified if you alter your post once it is posted (it will then have an edited message) or delete your first post after you have posted it (we will see a post deleted message) and make a new post.
7. Leave your old post as it is and make a new post before the competition's closing time if you find out you've accidentally included three or more numbers in the same race as someone who posted earlier. In your new post, you will need to tell us:
a) The number of your previous post (every post in the thread will have a different number)
b) 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.
c) If you do not provide this additional information your new post will not be accepted.
8. Leave your old post as it is and make a new post before the competition's closing time if you find out you've accidentally posted your Tip a Winner selections instead of your First Four selections in this thread. In your new post, you will need to tell us:
a) The number of your previous post (every post in the thread will have a different number)
b) Why you are reposting.
c) If you do not provide this additional information your new post will not be accepted.
9. You are not allowed to alter your five numbers because a horse has been scratched or just because you've changed your mind.
10. 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 as published on the Sportsbet Australia (http://record.sportsbetaffiliates.com.au/__BBFWysCs1WhJjIwNC_yVWNd7ZgqdRLk/1/results/racing) web site to be eligible for the weekly prize. This is equivalent to tipping a $4.00 winner. Similarly, as it costs $120 to box five horses with $1 units in a First Four, your winning Box Five First Four must pay a dividend of at least $480 using $1 units as published on the Sportsbet Australia (http://record.sportsbetaffiliates.com.au/__BBFWysCs1WhJjIwNC_yVWNd7ZgqdRLk/1/results/racing) web site to be eligible for the weekly the prize. This is equivalent to tipping a $4.00 winner.
In calculating the whether a First Four or Trifecta is the winning entry your trifecta dividend will be doubled because only half the outlay is required to take a Box Five Trifecta. Scratchings are not taken into account.
11. If two or more people tie because their First Fours or Trifectas in different races pay the same dividend then the prize will be shared. For example two tied winners will each be playing to win $200 first prize in the following week's Tip a Winner competition.
12. Each week the winner will be posted in that week's tipping thread by the following Friday - usually on a Monday. We'll also allow 24 hours before we declare correct weight, just in case like in racing there's a protest by someone against the winner, because for example we may have made a clerical error when checking the results.
13. As a condition of entering this competition you accept that all decisions of Management are final and no correspondence will be entered into.
The meetings you can tip from are:
Ascot
Eagle Farm
Flemington
Gold Coast
Kembla Grange
Moe
Morphettville
Rosehill
Toowoomba
