Ah blow it I forgot to tip again. Sorry all. Next week.

You're going to have to pay us a visit on Fridays in future Duritz.

Sportz 18th June 2005 06:15 PM

Hmmm, as a rule, these races I'm picking are generally pretty tough, so it's proving to be a real test. Even so, not great results.

Goldcoaster $69.80 (+$10.80)
xptdriver $53.40 (-$3.60)
Maverick1993 $49.00 (-$10.00)
Boxhead $40.50 (-$17.50)
Heavyweight $36.40 (-$21.60)
Horse Whisperer $31.80 (-$27.20)
Raw Instinct $29.00 (-$31.00)
Sportz $27.40 (-$29.60)
Top Rank $23.30 (-$33.70)
luv2bet $22.60 (-$36.40)
Jimmy $18.30 (-$40.70)
Seeker11 $17.40 (-$40.60)
Testarossa $16.40 (-$42.60)
Jim Curran $13.30 (-$44.70)

Best strike rate: Goldcoaster

Stix, I'm afraid your selections were a bit late but they actually produced the best total of $75.10 (+$15.10) and the best overall strike rate.

The consensus picks returned $41.40.

Sorry guys, but I think we might give this a miss next week.

Not sure about this idea. Some of you guys are obviously struggling to get on the computer on Fridays to tip. I wanted to make it that we all tipped before Saturday so nobody got an advantage, but that doesn't seem to be working. Also, at the moment, I'm finding that it's a fair bit of work running it and I think I'd like to spend a bit more of my time actually trying to find some winners myself. Sorry about that.

Duritz, would you like to take over with something from next week? Just a revamp of your previous tipping comp would probably suit most people and it would be easier to run than this one.

Again sorry to disappoint anyone, but I'll be back with the Fantasy Racing game in July and that'll be a real doozy of a competition.

Sportz,

Understand completely and you get marks for giving it a go.

I have an idea for a comp. where everyone maintains there own progress.
Everyone is given a nominal amount to start with $100 -$1000.

You must then post what you are going to do with your money prior to Sats racing.
After Sats. racing you show your results and your bank balance. It is all transparent so if you make a mistake (say in your adding up) someone will pick you up, and everyone maintains there own results and progress.

Just a thought. I must admit I am definitely not into maintaining any comp. Although I guess it would not take much for someone to read all the posts and then post a ladder.

Someone may have an idea that will expand on this one.

Tenacious Spirit 19th June 2005 06:20 PM

Great idea Top Rank, and it would be good to include multiples to see how eveyone is handling a race.

Stix 20th June 2005 11:55 AM

The end of the road........
