BTW have you read "Weights Right" yet?

Thanks all for posting your results like that, really helps out my job. New table to come in a few mins.

Cheers.

Well kids, there's a mere 8 days remaining in the first New Tipping Comp, and right now, if we were framing a market on the inaugral winner, Testarossa would be very short, for while he soars high like an eagle, the rest of us - with the exception of Raw - are gobbling around on the ground like turkeys.

Merc and Sirpent are going well too, I must admit, however Testa's lead is a good one and is going to be very hard to catch. Chuck has the right idea, trying to find a roughie to get him over the line. It's the only way someone can win, and even then it might not be enough. And in the meantime, Testa might find a roughie himself and soar higher!

The weekend was a bit of a fizz, with no-one ending up in the black on Saturday except for Mercurial. He did well, tipping two from three on Sat. The rest of us were all loser's to varying degrees, no-one had a wipeout, generally we all just lost a few units.

Below is the table as it stands right now, and attached is the file. Also I've done a little market, what true odds I reckon everyone is right now to win:

player Profit/loss odds of winning
testarossa $32.2 $1.42
raw instinct $14.0 $12
mercurial $7.2 $21
sirpent $6.6 $21
Duritz $0.3 $34
zorro -$8.0 $50
Goldcoaster -$12.2 $67
Chuck -$18.9 $101
Heavyweight -$19.4 $101

RACE 2 - 11 SUPER SEREN
RACE 4 - 12 TACTFULLY
RACE 6 - 2 AIR COOLED
RACE 7 - 4 COUNT THE BITES
RACE 7 - 4 SCARFACE CLAW

Wouldn't mind putting a few bucks on Raw at $12 Duritz, very generous odds especially if i just "Accidentally" tip 50 losers from now :D

LOL yeah well I guess that just goes to show - if someone's betting on it, someone's rigging it.

I'll have to post my tips for Saturday on friday night try and find some roughies this time going to need to I wouldn't mind backing myself at those odds either but it isn't like I can rig it for myself.

OK all with this being the final SATURDAY in this comp, here is the ladder as we are now. Remember, you can still tip till Tuesday. That's the final day. We all have until then to catch Testa, or conversely Testa has to respond to his own whip until then, pulling out plenty hopefully in the drive to the line.

I have re-framed the market slightly too for the odds of winning overall. Raw instinct has shortened a bit due to huge public support. :)

Good luck all.

OK well yesterday was a bit of a fizz, some might suggest, but not me. I don't think it was a fizz at all. I think everyone's just saving their run for the final stretch! Well, punters, we're now officially in the final stretch, so get busy!! Tip!! Tip!! TIP!!!!!

Sirpent - you're the dark horse of the field but you haven't tipped yet this week. Are you merely waiting to burst through on the rail like Dane Ripper? Or are you gone like Sky Channel? :)

Raw - you're still there, still a chance. One 14/1 winner and you're level! Find that elusive winner!!

Testa - you're still going beautifully. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to. You can leave it up to us to see if we're good enough to catch you, and if not, happily accept the glory and the subsequent fame, accolades and large breasted women that will no doubt follow.

Everyone else - we can still win, but we're fast running out of time. So, what are you waiting for.

FIND THEM WINNERS!!!

Actually if I had known Bosworth Field was scratched I would have backed Wishart but hey thats the risk I had to take when I was flying to brisbane at 6.30am should be a close finish anyway when are we finishing this comp up Duritz.

TOMORROW!!!

Tomorrow will be the LAST day of the comp punters, your absolute and utter LAST chance to catch the tearaway Testarossa, so get studying kiddies, we're in the red paint on the rail!!!

is there a new comp starting up.... ?

Watch this space...

I've got a real doozy of a competition planned for the Spring Carnival. Should be good.

I don't normally even look at midweek races at all unless there are some big races on so this is just one last shot to try and catch Testa

i'm loving it already

You're easy to please Chuck. I haven't actually said anything about it.

If you know anything about 'Fantasy' sports, that'll give you some idea of what I'm planning.

Yep ill be in the next comp.
Springs the best part of the year, look forward to it sportz.

I have been playing NFL Fantasy Football for about 8 years or so now that and Baseball so this does sound exciting mate and to be honest is there ever a comp that I don't get into.

On this, the final day, good luck to all. Here are my last ditch, desperate attempts to find a roughie to nail Testa. I have chosen Strath as the likeliest venue for a bolter:

STRATH

r2-2,5,9,10
r3-1,2,3,10
r4-1,2,4,7
r5-1,2,3,5
r6-3,4,5,6
r7-1,4,5,6
r8-1,2,3,6

I haven't checked odds though, just taken my computer's top 4 picks and hoping for the best.

In advance, well done Testa.

Oh-oh.... don't look now, but Duritz just got a $35 winner in the third at Adelaide.....

He might win yet the champ!!!......

come on you Strath roughies!!

Oh Geeez......

With one race left to go at Strath, I have a profit for the day there of 38.50, INCLUSIVE of the last race. That means that if the last race bombs out, I'll profit $38.50 on the day. Before the day's trading action I was $39.40 behind Testa. So, if I don't get the winner of the last, I'll fall behind Testa by 90 cents, but if I do get the winner, and assuming that it pays more than 0.90 cents for the win, I'll be the new leader!!!!!!!

BUT THERE'S STILL TIME FOR ANYONE TO WIN!!! We have LOTS of races left at Belmont, TESTA if you're there, PAY ATTENTION, and TIP!!!!

This one's going right down TO THE WIRE!!!!!

IT'S RIGGED! :D

one last crack mate

PR 9: #3 Tribal Warrior
PR 9: #9 Blacktave

Oops i thought Tuesday was the last day, but anyway well done Duritz!!!!
