SPRING CARNIVAL TIPPING COMP (Sept 4)

[sportznut]

Rules as they currently stand:

$50 worth of bets on each raceday during the comp. Win bets only, but you can back more than 1 horse per race. You can either have five $10 races, or three $10 races and one $20 race. Tips to be posted by jump time of the first bet. Money from scratchings to be carried over and bet the following week. Unitab dividends used for results. Everyone is allowed to miss one week of the comp without incurring a penalty. After that you lose $50 for every raceday you miss. There will be a feature race each week that everyone must tip in.

Okay, everyone welcome. Good tipping!

I nominate Sportznut as our thread superviser. A more well respected member of the community could not be found.

[sportznut]

Cut it out. Someone's already accused me of trying to take over. :smile:

[sportznut]

Okay, as Umrum suggested, the CRAIGLEE STAKES looks like a better feature race to bet on than the Ascot Vale, so that will be our feature race for this week.

I'm sure he will let you know :lol:

By the way, good tip umrum! :wink:

[sportznut]

Where was it running? Was it a bush meeting in WA?

Well, I guess you'll have to tell us what it paid on your TAB then. However, I think it would be better if we stick to races that we can all bet on in future.

From WA Shaun?

[Shaun]

Ok yeah found it racing in kalgoorlie it paid $15.90 ....if it is ok with everyone we will count it this time....but like sportz says we should stick to races covered by the unitab that way it is fair for all....and i do belive it is in the rules

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Shaun on 2004-09-04 19:57 ]</font>

Good work mate.Keep it up.I know all us hardened punters dont like a whinger but my horses bar fastnet rock all run 2nd. Well Done, Chuck. Great start!!

Hello Boys
Is it alright if I start next saturday
Sportznut can vouch for me as i have been under great pressure staring at Maria sharapova,watching the Lions kill off a bunch of christians from st kilda and also being absolutely humiliated by the canberra raiders
I dont mind catching up
Cheers

[punts2]

Rule is everyone is allowed to miss one week of the comp without incurring a penalty :wink:

[Happychap]

Can't wait to see medusa weave his magic in between weekends :smile:

[Shaun]

If you all like i can keep track of we we all stand and add any new players that join....

[Northerly]

Thanks for the quick posting of the scores. Mine wasn't too hard with -$50 (2 x 2nd & 2 x 3rd).

Fair enough to let the WA race stand for this week but I thought this was the "Spring Carnival Tipping Comp". I think it should only be races in Melb & Syd. That's where the Spring Carnival races are held, not in Adelaide (where I live), Brisbane or Kalgoorlie.

Looks clear to me too....not listed Unitab can't include.

[donkhill]

Would love to join too. I cannot BELIEVE some people picked Hugs Dancer... Fantastic. Looking forward to this weekend. That is some margin to catch up too.

[umrum]

Sorry about the confusion but it was a $80 000 listed race and was the best race in WA on saturday.

My Thornbird paid $15.90 so 20 WINS = $318
1 scratching - Natural Blitz (10 wins)

Outlay = $40
Return = $318
Profit = $278

If you are using Unitab for divvies then the figures are wrong.I had $5 on Waitawhero Gold@$27.40(Unitab)=$137
$5 Hugs Dancer@33.50=$167.50
Total(IMO)$304.50???????
Why have only got $254????
Somenones Maths are totally wrong.
If someone is going to keep score then it has to be right.

[racingnovice]

did you take out the $50 you started with? :smile:.

Also good job shaun keep up the good work :smile:.

My name is Mo and I want to play too.
I haven't done my tips yet.
I would like to bet only on Melbourne races.
Is that within the rules?
Plus I would like to put my tips in on Saturday morning.
Is that within the rules?
And is it only on Saturdays races?
Sorry I'm late but if need be,I do have a note from my mum.

You can post anytime as long as the tips are given before the races have been run...All melbourne is fine, but only Saturday races covered by Unitab
