I don't think you can judge competition results and come to conclusions, I for one use competitions to test theories in real time rather than use current successful strategies.

It's a great way to get a running picture of how it's panning out, and still be able to tweak "in running" without costing a penny.

;)

For example, I entered the Godolphin competition and used the best overall Timeform rated horses, and fell flat on my xxxx.

So now I know to lay the timeform horses or use another method.

Yeah, I took the recent Fantasy Racing competition seriously. And I took that Ratings competition we had at the beginning of the year seriously as well. But apart from those, I just use the tipping comps on here for a bit of fun or experimentation. In fact, I usually only include horses that I'm NOT going to bet on. :D

Yeah but it is still a good indicator ; )

$50 win on each TabCorp divvies - thanks.

F@rk! Chrome Prince, that will take me about six hours to check your results. The results can be found at www.freewebs.com/aus-sport.

makybe,

i'm actually on $2360 not $360

cheers
umrum

$50 each way suave lady

Sorry Umrun, I will change it.

Not much to check as they all lost :(

Also if the results are from week 1, I'm pretty sure I only lost $160 not $580.

You are probably right, Chrome Prince, I will check the results.

Did you have any scratchings? I count $1100 spent but was there one scratching. Could you please find for me the SuperTAB prices as I cannot access them?

My mistake, there was no scratchings so you actually spent $1100 and now if anyone could send me the prices of the winning horse, which was Tactfully. Was there any more of your selection Chrome Prince which won?

Umrun, you have not been the only offender but I am not going to look for results. If people persist to do this, I will fine them.

I actually believe your balance is $2,180, Chuck. You bet $1900 last week and won $2,080 so doesn't that meaqn your balance is 2,180?

Sorry Chuck. You are correct as I rechecked your figures.

I have you down with a $1,240 balance. You bet $2000 and won $1240. Does this mean your balance is $1,240. Everyone is confusing me!

sorry mate,

The results have been posted on the website, www.freewebs.com/aus-sport. Could someone please help me with the balances of Chuck and Seagull and report any errors.

Horse Whisperer $1,000(bet) $445(won) $555(lost) $890(balance)
i think my balance should be $1445???

Yep, sorry Horse Whisperer. I will fix the error.

makybe,

what div's do you use.

I've done my sums on super tab.

after week 1 bal = 2360
week 2 bets = -1200
bal = 1160

week 2 return = 870

Bal aster wk 2 = 2030

cheers

I use unitab unless u state a different one. However, from now on, I will use supertab for u.

You seem to be having a LOT of trouble running this comp.

However, I believe I have stuffed up your balance now even with unitab so I will switch your values to supertab.

Yes I do, don't I. I come up with balance and people come up with different balances. I am going to try and come up with a different system which will make it a bit easier for me.

makybe did you see how i worked out the balance.
you need to subtract the amount bet from the origional $2000
then add the total returned.

i.e I have bet total of 1800

2000 - 1800 = 200
I have won 1830

200 + 1830 = balance of 2030


you should apply this principal to all participants.

cheers
