Spring Carnival Tipping Comp (Oct 2)
 

Comp Rules:

$50 worth of bets each week. Win bets only, but you can back more than 1 horse per race. You can either have five $10 races, or three $10 races and one $20 race. Money from scratchings to be carried over and bet the following week. Unitab dividends used for results. Everyone is allowed to miss one week of the comp without incurring a penalty. After that you lose $50 for every raceday you miss. There will be a feature race each week that everyone must tip in.

I'm assumimg still rule that ALL selections must be posted before start of the first race that you have a selection in.

Well, that is certainly preferable and it makes it a lot simpler to see what everyone has picked. However, Puntz has been doing it a bit differently the last two weeks.

I guess it's okay to not post all your selections at once, but you must make it very clear which horses you're tipping and you must make new posts instead of simply editing your old ones.

getting sloppy but you're the boss.

I'm not really the boss. Anyway, as I said it would certainly be preferable if everyone puts all their tips in before their first race. What does everybody think? Do you think we should make it a hard and fast rule?

[ This Message was edited by: sportznut on 2004-09-30 10:53 ]

Thought it was an original rule. Majority seem to be sticking to it. Pity the one trying to reconcile and audit (posting times) if we all lodge 4 or 5 scattered posts :lol:

Yeah, I guess you're right. It was an original rule to put all your tips in before your first race. The only exception really is that you can add tips later if you have scratchings. And it certainly would be a nightmare trying to work through all the selections if we did it any other way. So please disregard what I said earlier and everybody stick to posting ALL your selections prior to your first race.

I don't mind outting them all on early...does not matter when i tip them they still win..lol

Well here's a rule for you Sportznut.

Consider the consequences if everyone decided to go against a rule.

Rules are there to make things easier.

Yep. Spot on. And it certainly is much easier if everyone posts ALL their tips prior to their first race, so that's what we'll stick to.

Posting these early because i won't be around tomorrow....fingers crossed

Hello everyone,

it seems that there has been a massive downpour on poor old Randwick over the last few days and the Epsom meeting may be in jeopardy and HEAVY track conditions if it goes ahead. For tipping purposes I suggest we all still put in a tip for the Epsom and if the meeting is cancelled we treat all Rankwick selections as scratchings

Gunna have to play catch up after missing last week, lookin for some good results

SR Race6(Epsom) #12 $5 WINS Desert War
#17 $5 WINS Whoc


SR Race 7 #7 $5 WINS Daneborough
#10 $5 WINS November dreaming

MR Race 3 #7 Bird Dancer $10 wins

MR Race 5 #9 Diamond Jake $10 wins

MR Race 7 #14 Wild Iris $5 wins
#15 Zagalia $5 wins

sorry if that is hard to read, looked perfect when i wrote it up.


A good bet for those interested in the AFL betting will be Byron Shammer, for the brownlow. still 18 and already a proven vote getter after this year, and only playin a handful of games. should be good odds and if plays the whole season a definate chance.

Seeker11,

If the meeting goes ahead, I'm sure it will be a real bog track and if they can't go ahead, then I guess we'll all just have more money to play with next week.

Well, it looks like Grand Armee is a scratching now, so those that have already picked him can choose another runner for the Epsom if they wish.

TEN BUCKS!
Where you going Rabbitz?
Since when was ten bucks a small bet?
Plus I am only betting on value selections.
What price do you consider RAZLUKKA should be at Oh! wise Premiership selector extraordinaire?

Randwick is a huge chance of being called off. I suggest changing to the Turnbull as the Feature race (better race anyway).

SR6-4 SHAMEKHA-10W
MR1-6-SURRENDERLESS-10W
MR6-1-PARACA-10W
BR2-3-DEVONPORT-10W
AR1-4-OUR JACKMAN-10W


[ This Message was edited by: william on 2004-10-01 20:35 ]

Yeah, that would be a good idea except that it would be a disadvantage for the people that have already posted their tips and won't get back on in time to change them. Most people have included tips for the Turnbull anyway. I think to be fair to everyone, we should really leave it as it is and if Randwick is washed out, then those tips will simply be treated like scratchings.

What does everyone else think?


[ This Message was edited by: sportznut on 2004-10-01 23:37 ]

Fair enough. not fair if those guys don't log in again. The Epsom it is.

Sydney racing is a joke, average fields and crap tracks. Not to mention the blackout that lasted for a couple of months.
Melbourne doesn't even have a Group 1 tomorrow but their races are better than Sydney.

Epsom - Miss Potential $10

BR2- Lady Breakfast $10
BR7- Rue The Saint $10
AR5- Mission to Shine $10
MR3- Bird Dancer $10

Should leave as-is. Don't know why you're even contemplating mid-stream changes.

I agree leave it as it is...if the races are abandoned then they can have the money for next week...we don't consider acts of nature here..lol

EPSOM
R6 Whoc $10

FLEMINGTON
R2 Fastnet Rock $20
R8 Lady of the desert$10
R7 Zagalia $10

All $10 WIN

MR 3 5 TOOBORACK
MR 10 6 ANYWAYS LUCY
