Spring punting comp
 

Okay, this starts next week, but I need you to put your names down now, so I can start organising it all.

If you remember, it's a tipping comp where you go head to head against every other tipster over the course of the comp, then at the end, the top tipsters take part in a final series conducted over the 4 days of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

I'd like to have 16 people preferably, but I can organise it with another number.

Also, last year, we had an interstate challenge (between Qld, NSW & Vic). So any new people who sign up, I'd like you to tell me which state you want to represent.

Ohhh, and please, before you put your name down, make sure you can keep going for the next 4 months. We go right through from next week to the Cup Carnival in November. If you sign up and you're not able to stick around for the duration, you may be taking the spot of someone else who can.

Refresh my memory please Stix. Do we get set races to pick from and if so how many? Do we just pick a winner?

Oh Magoo...... you've done it again :D

...and yes I'm blushing...again! :o


Love to have a go Sportz, but can't commit to each week. Good luck with it, it's a great comp!

I'm in.....QUEENSLANDER!

Another senior's moment or am I falling in love?

I'm in - Mighty Vics!

Sportz here again. Or should I change my name to Stix just for you. :)

You pick out 5 horses each week to back win or each way. There is one feature race each week where everyone has to make a selection. Then the other 4 selections are up to you - any gallops race anywhere in Australia and covered by Unitab.

I'm in Sportz...Go NSW

I'm in too Stix...er Sportz

Hi Sportz is it an odds thing or points for win or ???..cheers igt

im in ..n.s.w

I will go in your comp only if you can not get your 16.
I might miss a week or two but I may get wraped into it and be very competitive to.

I dont believe you have to repeat your rules.
Tas
but I will go wherever I will leave that for you to choose.

Vic. for sure.

Odds. I'll be using Unitab divs.

I am back.....Go Vic.

Do let me know if I make your list. thanks Sportz.

Well, I can tell you now, you're on the list, because we currently only have 8 certain starters. 3 from Qld, 2 from NSW, 3 from Vic. I need 8 more if possible.

I'll give it a go again Sportz I am not really punting much anymore but I am still around and usually check the forum out each friday night or saturday morning. Queensland in case you have forgotten

When will the first round begin?

Next Saturday.

im in -nsw here

Yeah Sportz, I'd like to be in it. I'm from NSW.

Okay, I have 12 tipsters now, so I'd like 4 more if possible. Currently 5 from Qld, 4 from NSW and 3 from Vic, so I'd like at least 1 more from Victoria.

Come on guys. Anyone else?

I can actually run the comp with just 12 people, but I'd prefer 16.

Get aboard guys, even though 3 of us from Vic. should be enough to carry off winning the comp. LOL, LOL

I believe so Crash...hi hi

Well, it doesn't seem like anyone else wants to join in, so it looks like we'll have 12 tipsters. I'll give people another day though to sign up if they want to.

ill have a crack sportz, put me in..
might be the lone lone ranger from south oz!!

I suppose i could go with the vics....

well i never !! would be like one of us Queenslanders playing for those yuppie smelly Cockroaches ;)

No need to do that, luv2. ;)

We'll just make it a composite team.

did you include me or not.

thinking about it.
I will try my best to do it each week.
thanks
Allen

Yeah, I'll make you number 14 if you can tip each week.

As I said, I really want people who are going to be able to tip each week.

ill sleep much better tonight, thanks sportz!!!

You sure you can stick around each week? I see you're new to the forum.

he's a mate of mine sportz, so ill make sure he's here every week :)

Okay guys, I've got one more spot left, so you've got just a couple of hours left if you want to sign up.

Would like another tipster from NSW if possible, so maybe Chuck???

Sportz, sorry to do this to you at such a late time but my computer is currently on the blink - can't get it for at least 3 weeks so I may be an unreliable convenience. Again, sorry but best if I pull out rather than stuff it all up.

Okay, no worries.
