Teams Tipping Challenge
 

Hopefully, this will be a bit of fun. We'll start this Saturday and go through until late July.

It's important to note that anyone that wants to, can still join in this comp and try to win the individual title.

But as far as the teams title is concerned, the 3 teams are basically set now.

"Maroons"
Maverick1993
Svenvlad
Raw Instinct
Horse Whisperer
Goldcoaster
Breadman

"Blues"
Chuck
Testarossa
Syllabus23
wesmip1
Jim Curran
xptdriver

"All Stars"
crash
Leroy
Stix
luv2bet
mad
umrum

Rules
Everyone gets $100 to bet with each Saturday. Bris, Syd, Melb, Adel & Perth racing only. Win betting only.

Everyone to choose 4 horses from their "home" meeting (Bris, Syd, Melb, Adel or Perth) and pick out one of these as a "best bet".

Then everyone must also choose another 4 horses from the other meetings and again pick out one of them as a best bet.

So, you will be left with a total of 8 tips including 2 best bets. The best bets will be $20 win and the other selections will be $10 win.

Any money from scratchings will simply be refunded.



Each week, as well as keeping a personal tally, I will keep a teams tally. The top 5 scores from each team will be added together each week to make a team total.

Good luck! :)

BRISBANE:
R1 RUM BIRD
R5 PURE ENERGY***
R7 MESSIAEN
R8 COALESCE

OTHERS:
SR1 CANYONVILLE
SR7 PRECISE TIMING
SR8 LITTLE SHREK
MR6 GIBERNAU***

Oh great, we will have a heavy track in Vic. to look forward too. Still, those Queenslanders will need a bit of an advantage.

No.

By refunded, I mean the $10 or $20 is simply added onto your score for that week and then you get $100 to bet with again the next week.

As "all stars" our home state includes WA, SA and Vic?

I would have thought barbarians would have been more appropriate than allstars :)

Well no, this is actually what I meant:

Crash, Leroy and Stix - Vic
mad and luv2bet - SA
umrum - WA

To the Blues ...

Nice to be betting with you all for a change rather then against you.

Good Luck.

Chuck your missing a horse.

Sportz,

Since SR8 Tactfully is scratched, i'll replace with:

SR8 - High Priority

Thanks,

Sven

Sounds like me. A lot of my horses go missing too. ;)

Seriously Chuck, you need to pick another selection from interstate. You get a refund if you pick a scratching, but not if you simply forget to pick one.

Sportz,

Your going to have problems here. Punters not turning up to bet. What do you do? Award double points to one of their crew? Scratchings: not everyone can afford to wait until 10am. Sat. to do the form and if they do it earlier and there is a scratching they don't get to bet it the following week. Everyone has timetables, especially Sat. and there is going to be lots of punters who cannot wait for scr. or track condt. before they put their bets in.

I managed 3 winners [$3.90, $6.40, $10.40] but not a full team. I think I will drop out. For a start, picking 8 selections is a bit over the top. 4 in home state and 1 elsewhere would have been reasonable, but 8 total is a bit ballistic. It interferes with my [personal] form study. Just too much hard work for play money.

no one syas you have take this that seriously, you don't even have to look at the form. maybe don't put in much effort and just tip something that appeals?

Sorry Chuck, when I have team members counting on me I just can't do that. When I tip in comps. that I alone am responsible for I do exactly that. 5min. form study and my results reflect that, but it's fun anyway as I have nothing to prove and no one to answer to. Team selection is different and what happens when the team dosn't totally turn up?.

What's the problem, crash? I thought this comp was a pretty good idea myself. But above all, it's really just a bit of fun. No need to take it quite so seriously.

Only the top 5 scores from each team count, so one person can miss out each week without the team being greatly affected. I might think about changing that to the top 4 scores in future just to be safe. If anyone else has any problems with picking 8 selections, perhaps I could cut that down a bit too, but I thought all in all it was pretty fair. And as for scratchings, your money is refunded if you can't get back on to change it on Saturday. So it's not as if you're losing any money.
