wen u post tips for eg. 1,2,3,4-5,6,7
does that mean that 1,2,3,4 are posted for first only and other no,s 5,6,7 for second and third or 1,2,3,4 for 1st and 2nd and 5,6,7 for third
please explain
cheers

Well, basically, I write them in order of preference, but I also divide them into winning chances and place chances.

Take Race 7 at Cranbourne yesterday: CRAN R7 - 3 O'CANARVASS & 5 HELIUM (3,5,8,7 - 1,9)

What this means is that I think numbers 3 & 5 are the best winning chances in the race, numbers 8 & 7 are also winning chances but perhaps more likely to place, and numbers 1 & 9 are really just a place chance.

Now, everybody has different $ amounts that they're comfortable spending, so that's why I never tell people how they should bet on any of the selections. In previous days, my multi tips weren't going very well, because roughies have been getting up for 3rd that I haven't included, and if you had gone with a 2x4xfield trifecta, you would have gone okay. In that Cranbourne race, I was confident about O'Canarvass and Helium, so I ended up going with a 2x6x6 trifecta and a 2x4x6x6 first4.

ROCK R6 - 1 MERSEY BEAT (danger 3) (1,3 - 2,5,4,9)
W.FM R4 - 3 ISLAND SWING & 2 GEIGERON (3,2,7,6 - 10,4)
W.FM R5 - 8 PATIENCE'N'VISION & 1 RESPECT (8,1,3,5 - 10,7)
W.FM R6 - 1 FRAZZLE DAZZLE (danger 3)
WARR R2 - 8 SAN PIETRO (danger 5)
WARR R6 - 6 GREAT STEPS & 9 PRINCE OF RUFFY (6,9,1,3 - 2,7)
WARR R7 - 3 SHANGO'S IMAGE (danger 1)

Others to consider:
P.Mac R3 - 2 Chocolate point
P.Mac R7 - 1 Jaegers & 3 Tondano
Canb R4 - 2 At The Show
Warr R5 - 1 Corrupt Judge & 4 Maxsteel

Perhaps a couple of tips for Moonee Valley later.

What a ********** start. But I doubt that any of you would have had enough time to jump on. Hope not anyway. :o

Yeah, by all means consider them, but don't bet on them. :rolleyes:

Looks like a tough sort of day at present. Hope things pick up.

Sorry, that should have been 2x6x6x6.

Okay, it's a slow track now at Warwick Farm and getting worse all the time, so I'll be taking it VERY easy there. (especially after getting a handy little result at Cranbourne :) )

Horses you could think about including now with the wet track are R4-1, R5-2, R6-2,7. Of my top picks, Island Swing and Patience'N'Vision should go okay in the wet, but not entirely sure about the others. :o

Mersey Beat's pretty good. My biggest bet today. :)

VERY wise decision.

I hope perhaps someone got something out of this little tip. Personally, I haven't had a bet on either race 4 or 5. I may possibly have a go in the last race around numbers 1 & 3 but I won't be risking very much at all on that track.

Gday Sportz...

I couldn't find one winner there today... crap fields crap track.. and I don't think Canterbury is much better tomorrow either... Sydney is hard enough this time of year without the tracks turning to bogs... maybe that explains the poor fields there tomorrow

Okay, not really confident about anything at Moonee Valley tonight. Just looking at a couple of races:

M.Val R3 - 3 Recline & 7 Pardees
M.Val R7 - 5 Looming & 6 Your Call

Damn annoying. I worked out the tips on a good-dead track and was quite confident, but then the track quickly got worse and worse and no way was I going to risk much money on it!!! After the last, the caller said that leaders had little or no chance. In the end, the only bet I had there was an any2 in the last race with 1 & 3 from the field. And thanks to Zelotti getting 3rd, I got $41.20 back from $20, so that was okay.

thanks sportz
warnambool race 6 got tri $170
also got a good tri at ballarat trots race 5 $443 with a $1.70 fav
Mersey Beat was impressive again pity the tri $12 wasnt
Winning day all round though
Cheers

Rabz,

I hope you didn't follow any of my tips for Warwick Farm today. Once the track deteriorated, they all basically went out the door.

Saturday January 14

GCST R3 - 3 WILLY LEICA (danger 1) (3,1 - 4,8,7,2)
GCST R4 - 4 COINCIDENTAL (dangers 2 & 3) (4,2,3 - 9,6,5,1)

CANT R8 - 5 SMART MAXIE & 3 FOR VALOUR (5,3,8,12 - 6,7,2)
SAND R5 - 1 FOREST SPY & 5 GIBERNAU (1,5 - 7,3,6)

Others to consider:
GCst R5 - 13 Fashions Afield & 5 Langarza
GCst R7 - 5 Churchill Downs (ew)
Cant R5 - 1 Fiery Venture
Cant R6 - 1 Warm Ride & 3 Mi Casa
V.Pk R4 - 8 Visconti
Toow R2 - 1 Show Biz Kid (ew)

BREAK THE BARRIER??? :eek:

Multi tips not doing well at all today. Sorry. :o

Stupid to leave Mock out of the minor tips. I was very confident that either Forest Spy or Gibernau would win, so I could have put the whole field in for the minor placings.

Amazed at the odds of Candy Vale today!!! If I had known she was going to start at nearly even money, I would definitely have tipped her here and made her a special. But I thought she was only going to be around $1.40 -$1.50.

Note to self:

Please remember to totally ignore the Magic Millions meeting on the Gold Coast in future.

All I can say after today is SORRY. :o

The multi tips were terrible and the top picks made a loss. Thank goodness for Coincidental to keep the best bets in the black.

JACK'S BACK!!! :)

Warrnambool R7 is a VERY strong race for a Sunday and he's been off the scene for a while, but he has a good each way hope, and he certainly owes me nothing. There are a heap of chances in the race, but I'm probably going to concentrate on four runnners - 2 Blue Collar Jack, 7 Postcode, 6 Myalansky and 12 Czar Of Macedon. 7 & 6 will be the favourites, but 2 & 12 should be okay value. 2,7,6,12 - 4,16,1

Good luck Sportz...jacks been very good to you..

I'm a fan of Showdown Kid ,,this horse has a huge sprint at the end,,,never looks in it till the last 5metres ,,,,,and also have Sir flex black booked ...
might have a big trifecta in this race ,,,and i'll have Jack in there somewhere :)

MUSW R5 - 3 BATH (dangers 12 & 9) (3,12,9,11 - 10,7)
MUSW R6 - 6 SUTTON KING (dangers 1 & 5) (6,1,5 - 2,9)
MUSW R7 - 1 PRIOR VISCOUNT & 5 JACK AND ICE (1,5,3,10 - 2,4)
WARR R5 - 2 CAPE BRIDGEWATER & 10 MAGIC BREW
WARR R7 - 2 BLUE COLLAR JACK & 7 POSTCODE (dangers 6 & 12) (2,7,6,12 - 4,16,1)
KYNE R9 - 1 FULL TILT & 3 KING CHARLES
HBRT R4 - 6 LEKITAMA & 1 MIEWA'S QUEST (6,1,7 - 5,8)
GERA R8 - 4 SOLAR IMPACT & 7 HIGGINS GOLD (4,7,2,6 - 5,15,9)

Tossed up between Kaseh and Big Poppa Pump for the last of the multi picks. Damn! Anyway, unfortunately, good old Jack wasn't quite up to it today, but Postcode certainly was. :)

Nice trifecta in R5 at Muswellbrook.

Well, I definitely should have stuck to the regular venues and forgot all about Geraldton and Hobart. Apart from that, a good day.

Nevermind the tri..... what about the exacta....

By the way, I still don't know how you reproduce those divs on here exactly as they appear on the TAB site? I can't seem to do it.

Oh well, never mind.

Now it's a heavy track apparently, so I've lost confidence here. Starting to get annoyed with these changing tracks.

:o Ummm, sorry. I can't work out why I didn't include Chasin Sheilas in my tips post. I actually had it rated 4th, but for some silly reason I've left it out completely. Don't know why, because even if I didn't have it rated highly, I always try to make sure I include the unitab 100 rater in my multi picks anyway.

Very disappointing day for the tips today so far.

A bit better now thanks to the last at Moruya.

ROCK R8 - 1 BROWNS PLAINS & 6 TERRINADAR (1,6,4,5 - 7,3)
ECHU R6 - 1 LUCKY PETRIC & 2 FALLOIR
ECHU R7 - 1 SURFIE PETE

If topweights don't do well today, I'm in a bit of trouble. :o

Think it looks that kind of day fella. That's why I'm a little nerous about today - because it feels like one of those days where the "standout" could quite easily get rolled..... it's not logical, but it's the ol' "gut feeling".... let's hope I'm wrong for your sake ;)

Yeah, I call days like that "too good to be true" days. You get a number of horses which stand out or look like great bets right from the first time you look at the field. And it NEVER seems to work out that way. So I wouldn't be surprised if my tips bomb out big time.

Hey, Brendan Tupper picked Blake Shinn to ride 6 winners today, and he's just won one of the other 4 where he didn't tip him. :D

Gday sports,
Hope your echuca tips go well, I have exactly the same on all races (first picks)
Must be doing something right with my ratings!!!!!!!! Or maybe not..

Yeah, probably not. :D

Seriously though, if that's the case, then I hope you go well too. I actually had Mr Marju picked out in R5 as well, but I just wasn't quite as confident about it, so left it out of the tips. Same with Hattie at Murwillumbah.
