Thursday Night Greyhound Tipping Comp (Dec 2)

[sportznut]

Okay, only 3 tipsters last week. A few more would be nice this week.

COMPETITION RULES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a) $100 to bet with each week. Win betting only. Maximum of 2 dogs a race.

(b) Everyone must pick a $20 win all-up bet with 2 dogs at one of the venues each week.

(c) The other $80 to be divided up as you wish, but you can only bet either $10 OR $20 on any one race. In other words, you can have 4 $20 races or 8 $10 races, or any combination you wish as long as it adds up to the $80. And you CAN include the 2 dogs you've already picked in your all-up in these bets.

Back later to add hopefully,but I definately want $20 on MALFOY in the Top Gun.
Remember the Vibe I mentioned back in the old AFL season?
Well it's back!
And I'm applying it to other forms of betting.
The Vibe tells me that MALFOY is overdue for a end to his constant bad luck,preventing him from showing everyone its full capabilities.

AG 7 - No 7 Kayla Dakota $20
BG 5 - No 2 Hanson Teddy $20
BG R8 - No 2 Cheeky Sprite $20
MG 8 - No 1 Bogie Leigh $10 ( sentimental favourite, whisky should blitz )
MG 3 - No 4 Hyde Park $10

All Up $20 - MG 9 Our Spence into MG 10 Swordsman

Not bad at all. I had the quinella with Regal Ricky. It's just a pity Paua to Burn or Bogie Leigh didn't get up for 3rd.

Congratulations Dugga11. Not a bad result considering it was your first post on the forum!!! :)

I'm obviously doing something wrong as I picked 7 winners from 8 races and still didn't win the comp.

Yes Sportznut.
When I saw your selections this morning,I thought,"Gee this bloke sure has learnt heaps in the last 4 weeks!"
And I suppose the key to winning comps is more money on less selections,rather than less money on more selections.

[sportznut]

Yeah, I guess that's the secret Mo.

Still quite pleased with my effort though. Actually, I nearly got a perfect 8 from 8 as I tossed up between Just Sincere and Jasmine Princess for my 8th selection.

[sportznut]

Mind you, most of them were pretty short though. I've found in the last few weeks that you can find some dogs which just appear to be absolute certainties. With some of them, $1.50 or $1.60 is good value and I'd hardly ever think that about a racehorse.

[moeee]

Can I tell you this Sportznut!
I think it might be about $1.50 just to get around the course without being belted by another dog.
And usually the result of a nasty check is another loser.
Trust me and keep away from the shorties.
I suggest that thoroughbreds may be a better place to invest your money carefully,if you wish to attempt odds-on.
And by the way.UNITAB price was poor on ZYRTEC last night.I had $25 on it at $7.50 to make my night a small winner punting wise.

[sportznut]

And by the way UNITAB price was poor on ZYRTEC last night.

Yeah, sorry about that.

[nulla]

Geez Sportznut your being a bit hard on yourself, 57% POT if you could do that every day of the week you could soon retire to sunny Melbourne. Disappointing the small number participating in the comp though, over 200 views last week and only 3 in the comp and over 150 this week and only 6 in it. Seems like the punters must be looking up to get your tips and not bothering to enter the comp, keep up the good work you must be getting the hang of it. I've been following dogs for years and am still learning, trouble is when you get to my age you begin to suffer from old timers disease and forget what you learned last week

[sportznut]

nulla,

I was just joking around. I WAS pleased with it and yes, I'd love to turn $100 into $157 every time. It's just that most of my winners were quite short!

I'll keep going with the comp next week, because although there hasn't been a huge response, I'm finding it quite interesting and I'm learning a bit more each week about the dogs.

[Dugga11]

yeah keep the thread going with doggies every thursday i love em.....
Its great fun..... hopefully i can back a few more winners....
Any of u guys from Adelaide ?
