Spring Tipping Comp 2015
 

NATIONAL PUNTING LEAGUE (Spring 2015)

Here's how the comp works. We will all be tipping against each other for 10 weeks from this Saturday, August 22, through to October 24. Then at the completion of those 10 weeks, the top 8 tipsters will go head to head in a final series during Melbourne Cup week.



Please read the rules carefully. A couple of changes this time....

RULES

1. Of the 10 Saturdays during the preliminary rounds, you must tip on at least 7 of them.

You are allowed to miss 3 weeks. No more. People will have to start tipping by September 12 or they miss out.

2. You can post anywhere between 5 and 15 selections each week.

3. You can bet anywhere between $100 and $250 each week.

The leading tipsters are judged on % profit, not the total amount of profit. So betting more won't give you a better chance. But you can change the amount you bet from week to week depending on your confidence.

4. You are allowed to make up to two "best bets" each week. These bets are either $50 win or $25 each way.

This is something new. Instead of being limited to betting the same amount on every selection, you can now bet double the amount on one or two best bets.

Please note, you do not HAVE to pick a best bet, but it is there if you want to use it. You can have either a $50 win bet or a $25 each way bet on one or two horses each week. It's up to you.

5. With your remaining selections, you can bet up to $25, either win only or win and place and you can use any of the following bet sizes...

$5 win
$10 win
$15 win
$20 win
$25 win
$5 win / $5 place
$5 win / $10 place
$5 win / $15 place
$5 win / $20 place
$10 win / $5 place
$10 win / $10 place
$10 win / $15 place
$15 win / $5 place
$15 win / $10 place
$20 win / $5 place



6 . Races you can tip in:
You can tip at any Australian or New Zealand gallops meeting covered by UBET on Saturdays. Which is just about everything.



Calculating your $ return:
I will be using William Hill's Best Tote +5% to calculate the return on all races if available. If not available, I will be using UBET dividends.

Hope this format is ok Sports

Sorry mate. You can't have that bet this time. It will have to be either 10/10, 10/15 or 15/10. The bet sizes you can use are in the opening post of the thread. So if you don't come back on to change it, I will put you down for $10 each way.

It's a minimum of $100 this time, so they will have to be $20 win.

Oops, think i went over budget, better make that $20 win so i still have room for the best bets

Sorry mate, it's a maximum of $250, so can you make a change please? If not, I will make the selections in Bris8, Syd5 & Syd8 just $15 each. That leaves you with $240.

Ohhh, you beat me to it What do you think of my solution?

Guys, please read the rules in the opening post. They're a little bit different this time.

Gees i still can't count, ok, go with your idea, will do better next week for you,lol

I've decided to just watch today. Still working on my selection method and I will join in next week or the week after.

Don't think I'm quite ready either, but I'm excited so am jumping in :)
