Well, looks like I've got back into the black which is good. I'll work out everyone's scores a bit later and then we'll know who's going through to the finals.

Big win.

Whatever the approach, it seemed to work!!!

Well, here we go with the final standings...

Not a bad week for tipping with several people making a profit for the week. Well done to those who made the top 8 for finals. But bad luck to those who just missed out. It was mighty close for the 8th and last spot.

To those who missed the finals, thanks for taking part in the comp!

Finalists...

7 . kiwi
8 . Dillwar

Thanks Sportz! Enjoyed the comp and I don't feel at all bad about missing the finals: had I just scraped in I wouldn't have felt like I'd deserved it. (It certainly was a close thing, too! Leaving my mistakes of the early weeks aside, two of my win bets this round came second by 0.1L!)

Taught me that I need to be more disciplined with my selections (or to skip rounds entirely) and have a proper staking method; even if it is just for fun. Looking forward to the next comp already :) Cheers for your organisation and enthusiasm :)

THIS WEEK'S FINALS:

Qualifying Finals
Percentum v Robalan
Try Try Again v Sportz

Elimination Finals
Rabbitz v Dillwar
kellmark v kiwi

.

Tipping rules:

You can post anywhere between 5 and 10 tips.

The bet sizes are the same as we've been using all the way through.

The person listed first in each matchup finished higher on the ladder, so they get to bet $120 while the tipster listed second gets to bet $100. The winner will simply be the one whose tips return the most money, not the biggest % return.

The tipster in each matchup who posts second is only allowed to include one of the horses tipped by the person who posted first.

Just to clarify this. The person who's listed 2nd doesn't have to wait around and post their tips 2nd. They can get in and post their tips first if they want to. And whoever ends up posting 2nd, they can only tip one of the horses that the 1st tipster has picked.

In the unlikely event of a tie, the match will be awarded to the tipster listed 2nd as they have bet the least and therefore have the better profit/loss result.

Best of Luck Kiwi!!

You're only allowed to bet $100 this week, Robalan. So if you don't come back on and make a change, I will just have to convert your score back to a score out of $100.

Well done Sportz - too good!

Yep. Thanks. Will work out all the scores a bit later, but two results so far. I have beaten Try Try Again and it looks like kellmark has beaten kiwi.

I think I just flopped over the line.

Well done kellmark!Thanks for the comp Sportz.:)

Don't forget that whoever posts 2nd in each matchup, they can't pick any more than one of the horses chosen by the one who posts first. So in this case, Robalan can't pick any more than one of the 5 horses Dillwar chose for the Cup...

Don't forget about this today, guys.

Best of luck Try Try Again, so I'll kick off
