AUTUMN TIPPING COMP 2023

We will all be tipping against each other for the next 7 weeks from this Saturday, Feb 11, through to Mar 25. Then, the top tipsters will fight it out in a final series, ending on April 15.

RULES

1. Of the 7 weeks during the preliminary rounds, you must tip on at least 5 of them. You are allowed to miss 2 weeks. No more. People will have to start tipping by Feb 25 or they miss out.

2. You can post anywhere between 3 and 15 selections each week.

3. You can bet anywhere between $100 and $500 each week. The leading tipsters are judged on % profit, not the total amount of profit. So betting more overall won't give you a better chance. But you can change the amount you bet from week to week depending on your confidence.

4. You can tip at any Australian or New Zealand TAB gallops meeting on Saturdays.

5. You can bet any of the following amounts:
$5 ew
$10 win
$10 ew
$20 win
$15 ew
$30 win
$20 ew
$40 win
$25 ew
$50 win

6. Calculating your return: I will be using the closing tote and fixed odds prices on the Qld Tab and you will get whichever is the highest.

There's one week to go before the top 3 make finals. Top placing after next week will go straight through to the grand final.

[Sportz]

All Randwick, all $10 win. I give all of these horses a chance at odds. If I somehow nab 2 or 3 winners, I can make the finals. But I'm not optimistic.

I've picked some roughies, but so far they've been the wrong roughies!

I've picked some roughies, but so far they've been the wrong roughies!

The last 4 races all won by outsiders and I didn't pick any of them.

[Sportz]

Okay, here's the final ladder. Reded didn't tip today, probably just hoping to hold on to the top spot, and that's what happened.

LEADERBOARD:
7.4 . reded ( Out: $830.00 , In: $891.60 ) *
0.9 . walkermac ( Out: $880.00 , In: $887.50 )
-2.4 . kiwi ( Out: $1,840.00 , In: $1,796.50 )
-21.0 . william ( Out: $1,960.00 , In: $1,547.65 )
-36.0 . Sportz ( Out: $1,800.00 , In: $1,152.55 )

[Sportz]

Reded goes straight through to the grand final on April 15.

walkermac will take on kiwi next week for the right to get there.

[kiwi]

That is better 4 winners, good days punting too. Commiserations to Sportz and william, good luck to walkermac next week!

[Sportz]

Preliminary final: walkermac v kiwi


RULES:

You can post anywhere between 5 and 10 tips

The bet sizes are the same as we've been using all the way through.

walkermac finished higher on the ladder, so gets the "home ground advantage" and can bet between $120 and $360 while kiwi can bet between $100 and $300. I will convert your totals back to a score out of 120 & 100.

The tipster who posts second is only allowed to include one of the horses tipped by the person who posted first.

In the unlikely event of a tie, the match will be awarded to kiwi, as he had less money to spend.

[Sportz]

Okay, still a race to go, but I can announce that walkermac is today's winner and goes to the grand final next week. Well done.

And bad luck to kiwi. Thanks for playing.

Well done, walkermac! Good tipping today. 3 winners out of 6.

Bad luck reded.

Thanks to the regulars who had a go this time. Who knows if we'll all be around again in the Spring, but I wouldn't mind having another go. I need to redeem myself after my poor effort this time!

[walkermac]

Thank you for running the competition again, Sportz. Bad luck, reded.

Redemption! I was just looking at the historical winners and I've put up some pretty meek performances the last few times I've been lucky enough to make the final. Very pleased to make a profit in this one; anything beyond that was a bonus :)

[reded]

Congratz, walkermac! Awesome tipping.

Thanks Sportz for comp.
