When I say that I mean any Australian meeting covered by the TAB of choice. Which one is that, Duritz?

Well I am taking the dividends from Supertab, however we'll make it any meeting in Australia that NSWtab covers. If there happens to be a winner tipped on a meeting that NSW covers but not SUPERTAB, I'll take the dividend from NSW.

OK well I am going to change the comp in line with what we have been discussing.

Here's what I am going to make the new rules:

1 - You can tip ANY day of the week.
2 - You don't HAVE to tip on a Saturday if you don't want to.
3 - You must put in a minimum of 5 tips a week, maximum 20.
4 - If you neglect to tip for the week, first time you get 5 losers, second time you get 20 losers as your total. (this will ensure people tip, which makes for a healthy comp).
5 - If you neglect to tip 5 horses for the week (ie only do one or two) then the balance of horses untipped are considered losers. (ie if you only tip two horses for the week then you automatically get another three losers)

The other rules remain the same, ie meetings covered by NSW tab etc.

I'll change the spreadsheet so it includes number of horses tipped for the week also.

Sorry Chuck, we aren't going to start it today. This would be blatantly unfair to those who have not logged on. We will start it next Sunday, and the week will run Sunday to Saturday. Still tip for this Saturday of course, but this Saturday won't be included in the weekly tally. The new rules will only come into effect starting Sunday MORNING. That means the old rules still apply for this Saturday.

IMPORTANT: To REAL DEAL and RAW INSTINCT - you MUST tip this Saturday as you missed last Saturday, or else you'll get 10 losers, as per the old rules. I don't want to have to give you 10 losers, so whack something in. Even if you're away from Thursday to Saturday, just tip on Wednesday without knowing who the horses will be. Tip the toppies or something.

As I said, the new rules will start this Sunday, so the bets for the week tally will begin then too. Saturday's bet's WON'T be included in the bets for the week, as the new week starts on Sunday.

I think I have covered everything, but I'll no doubt think of something else the moment I hit Submit Reply.....

I welcome ALL thoughts and suggestions, I am keen to make this a good, flowing, live comp. As it was, there was too much downtime for the comp. Now, it will be a continuous, growing thing. The rules above aren't yet carved in stone (I don't have a stone, nor a carver), so give me all your thoughts, discussion can only lead to the better evolution of this comp.

Cheers.

Duritz.

Yeah. Pretty good. I'd been thinking of doing something like this, but I wanted to make sure it wouldn't disadvantage those Saturday only punters.

Actually a thought occurs to me - I hope this won't tread on the toes of your Daily Challenge comp. Tell me if you think it does.

Personally I don't think it does b/c people don't HAVE to tip everyday. Your comp is an absolute tipping orgy, whereas this one offers a choice of heaps or little, so I think they can co-exist, don't you?

Your comp is a good one, but I am not in it b/c I just couldn't do a tip in every race!!! In that respect, my comp will probably get those punters who like me don't want to tip in each race, so b/w yours and mine we might have a good spread.

What do you think?

It's only on Saturdays anyway, but I'm thinking of forgetting about that competition due to underwhelming lack of interest. :o

no, please don't pull the plug in THAT one!!!

Ah I see, I didn't realise it was only a Saturday thing, I thought it was daily. I think with that again the prob is having to tip in so many races.

In that case my comp won't be treading on your comps toes at all, given that your one is only on Sat.

Thanks.

PS - One can be overwhelmed, and one can apparently be underwhelmed, but is one ever merely whelmed?

And if you aren't disgruntled, does that mean you are gruntled? :D

Hi!
gruntled = adjective "HUMOROUS" happy or satisfied:

"Although he wasn't actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled."

"whelmed" has actually has no meaning by itself.

Cheers

You're kidding. You mean that's actually a word??? :o

I am sure you'll be happy that I am not going to bore you to tears with the origin of it, but rest assured it is.
I'm not sure though, if I felt comfortable using it, I can make myself seem like a dork a lot easier than that.
Cheers

Yeah, I'm pretty gruntled with that.

LOL

Well, I was disgruntled this afternoon when a horse I backed lost, and was feeling far from whelmed at the time, but now am gruntled too.

Duritz do you mean this tips as far as I know I have tipped each week

Looks like you got a couple of winners there.

Sorry Duritz i am going to have to withdraw from the comp. My internet hours have been severly shortened and i can just not get all the things done i have to. Will be back for a spring comp though!

No problem Real Deal.

Raw Instinct - sorry, I don't know how I f***ed that up. Wasn't intentional, I am just crap at running things I think!!

Below is the updated table, with you rightfully updated.

Join the club. :o

OK all I hope you read the discussions had on this thread earlier in the week, b/c essentially this is the last day of the tipping comp AS IT IS. Go back and read them if you haven't because as of tomorrow, the rules will have changed, basically so that you can tip any day you wish!!

The scores will continue, so today does count like any other day, but as of tomorrow it'll be a more versatile comp.

One of the rules is to not have more than 20 tips in a week. Try your best to enforce that one yourselves and I won't have anything to worry about.

Thanks all, I reckon that'll make this a great comp.

If you want, I can up the maximum number of selections to 30, would that suit people better? It'd obv. make more work for me, but if there's great support for it I'll do it. Anyone want that?

Here are my tips for today:

ROSE
6-4

FLEM
5-4
8-12

EF
9-13

ADEL

GCST

Would it have helped Sportz - how'd they all go?

OK well I haven't anyone's tips yet, and I am not going to have time unfortuntely until later - have things on today. I'll try to get them up this evening.

Remember everyone, today starts the new week, and the new rules. You can submit tips for today etc etc, so anyone who is unsure, read through what I posted earlier in the week. Any queries, post 'em, if I'm not around to answer perhaps someone else who is, can.

Good luck all, post later.

Duritz.

PS - that place thing sirpent posted last week would've suited me yesterday, of my 8 selections one was a late scratching so of the remaining 7 one came first the other six all ran placings...

Duritz,

I normally use a mixture of system selections and my own picks for this comp. This week I just decided to leave out the system bets. Well, they did pretty well, especially at the 'minor' meetings but most of them didn't pay very much at all, so no big loss. Would have done a bit better than the selections I posted though.

Rose R4-2 Aqua D'Amore WON
Rose R7-7 Force Zulu UNP
Flem R4-7 Scarlet Scene PLA
Newc R2-2 Smart And Fast WON
Newc R4-9 Top Of The Top WON
Newc R6-3 Silver Duke UNP
Balrt R3-9 Lemrac Lad WON
Ballrt R4-13 Hveger WON
Ballrt R7-8 Whittier Miss WON
Belm R7-4 Star Laser PLA

Sunday:
 

Quirindi 6-1 Keepa Moving Dan
