Well i may not have a winner yet but i was right about that donkey Elvstroem most of that field was not ready to run a race and he still couldn't beat them

Geez, you're going to totally ruin this competition for us no-hopers!!!

i would be more worried about chuck he had $10 dollars on it....but hey it is only early days and a couple of bad days will wipe that out real fast

FLEMINGTON:
4-1 Amtrak - 10.....-$10
6-3 Hugs Dancer - 10.....+$348

W FARM:
6-4 Niello - 20.....-$20

DOOMBEN
8-6 Frisco's Harem -10.....-$10

Closing Balance: +$308

Chuck

Only $38.90 back for me, so that's a loss of $11.10.

Well done Chuck and Purple dude .
.minus $50 for me but i'll catch up :wink:

How does this work does the thread super list everyones results and tally on the one post after each Saturday ?...would be a good way of keeping track of all contestants or to be reminded of how far behind i am :smile:

this is where we stand after week 1 if any mistakes sorry

good job shaun..makes it easy to see where we are at .. easy for me especially i just have to look towards the bottom :smile:

[ This Message was edited by: maverick1993 on 2004-09-04 18:57 ]

Yeah, well done Shaun. You 3 guys in front have got a great start.

[ This Message was edited by: sportznut on 2004-09-04 19:00 ]

Think umrum had $20 on a real nice winner?
You showing him -$50
I'm sure he will let you know :lol:

By the way, good tip umrum! :wink:

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.


[ This Message was edited by: sportznut on 2004-09-04 20:01 ]

unless it was a race not covered by the Unitab there were no winners with No 14 today....do you have the horse name in question....i don't mind counting it if i can find it...lol


[ This Message was edited by: Shaun on 2004-09-04 19:47 ]

From WA 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

[ This Message was edited by: Shaun on 2004-09-04 19:57 ]

Ok....i just had to post...take a look...500 posts on this forum....not to shabby if i do say so myself.

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

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

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

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

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.

I think think the part about Unitab prices says it all...if it is listed on thier website we will except the tip

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

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.

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

cheers
Umrum

Would love to join, can you put me down please. Cheers.

FLEM :
RACE 5 - 7 Alinghi $10
RACE 6 - 2 Grey Song $10
RACE 8 - 12 Lord Volksraad $20

W.FARM
RACE 3 - 2 Fastnet Rock $10

Flem race 8 scratched :

Invested : $30
Return : $38
Total : +$8

Regards,
Matilda

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.

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

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

Sportz
Can we just confirm the rules
It is three $10 bets + a $20 bet or FIVE $10
bets
Why have you done the above just curious
Cheers
P.S. Sorry just found it
So theres nothing to stop me having $5 a win on two horses in the same race.
P.P.S. Also whats the feature race

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

If you take a look there will be a new thread each week with the heading Spring carnival tipping comp week?

:smile:
