THE FORUM TIPSTERS POLL (June 4)
 

Okay, because this was a bit of a last minute decision, we'll just have a practice run this week to see how we go. I want to give as many people as possible a chance to get involved, so we'll get started officially next week.

Post your selections for all races at any or all of the following venues:
Eagle Farm
Rosehill
Sandown
Cheltenham
Belmont

Tips to be posted by midnight tonight. Post your top 3 selections + 1 reserve selection in case of scratchings. The reserve selection will only be counted if one of your top 3 is scratched. If you can, try to post the names of the horses as well as numbers, so we cut down on any mistakes.

Points will be allotted on a 3,2,1 basis to find the consensus of all tipsters. It will be interesting to see what we come up with. Individually, tipsters will be scored in two ways. Firstly, on the basis of how high up they find the winners in their tips and how much they pay. If you tip the winner on top and it pays $15, you would get $45 (3 x 15) but if you tip the winner 3rd and it pays $2.20, you'll only get $2.20 (1 x 2.20). Just think of it as having $3 on your top pick, $2 on your 2nd pick and $1 on your 3rd pick. Secondly, I will also keep a record of the best strike rates.

I will also score our consensus tips on the same basis to see how well we go as a group. As Duritz suggested, we could perhaps work out some best bets and multiples each week based on the tipsters poll picks.

Is anybody going to have a go???

Yeah, could get tough I think. We'll see. I'm thinking of perhaps restricting people to just 1 or maybe 2 meetings at the most. Or perhaps we could just restrict it to Bris, Syd & Melb and leave Adel & Perth alone. Or maybe just the major races at each venue?

That's why I said that we'll use this week as a practice run. We'll see how it all goes and work out what we're doing in time for next week.

Hello Sportz,
You are running it; why not nominate a track each week?
Cheers

That would certainly make it easier. We'll see how we go.

I like your tips BoxHead,,, i like to see a fellow tipster look for value..

we'll either be singing for our supper tomorrow night or shouting the bar :)

intersting you tipped Star Of Gretchen ..i was on her last start when she should of won ...not sure she's up to this but its not an overly strong field..will have to throw her in there somewhere..

Hello Mav,
The way I have been going, I think it will be the singing.
A bit e/w with the Star, do like Moody/Nolen combo.
Good Luck

Gday All

I will have a dip at this ... good luck to everyone.. Sorry they aint formatted the way you would like Sportz, but they are straight out of the spreadsheet.

Now do you have to add em up and come up with the forum consensus? Good luck if that is the case :)

Yeah, but it's just a trial run for this week, so not that important. As suggested by Top Rank and Boxhead, I think what I'll do from next week is just nominate certain races at 2 or 3 meetings or perhaps all races at just one meeting. Then we'd ALL tip on those same races. Would make it much easier.

I won't worry about Belmont as we only had 3 tipsters there and the scratchings don't come through for a while.

Next week, when we start this thing properly, I think what I'll do is nominate about 10 or 12 races and we all have to tip in those races. Will make it much easier.

Aah sh*t I forgot to tip.... I forgot about the Friday thing. Too late to add em Sportz?

Duritz,

You don't have to worry about it this week. I'm just using today as a trial. I guess you can still post some of your tips here if you want though.

Sportz I'm in next week, after you decide how you want to go with this.

I'm keen

I must point out that Forest Spy was actually an equal top pick and Virage De Fortune was an equal 3rd pick, but generally, we went pretty well. There were a few surprise omissions. Retail Therapy for example. I thought it was a great chance, but the others didn't agree with me, so it didn't make it into the top 3. Bella Chelle and Our Sweet Moss were a couple of others that we should probably have found. Chuck picked Our Sweet Moss on top but nobody else put it in the placings. Same thing happened with the first in Melbourne. I tipped Merlos on top, but nobody else had it in their top 3.

Always happens like that Sportz...i never gave Thats Better a hope in hell but he was our top pick...
I had Our Sweet Moss as my reserve..and Admiral Spy..i think a few of us did really well with our reserves lol.....
i think we did pretty good ..but i think overall our percentages wont be all that different to the experts over a period of time..most of them arent all that hopeless and we get the advantage of tipping later when weve got a better idea of track conditions..

I was so close to having Admiral Spy as my top pick actually Mav I just couldn't get into that race the form was all over the joint and to be honest if I had of been home when it ran I probably would have backed it e/w myself at those odds. In then end I made it my reserve it wouldn't have mattered for us anyway because it wuldn't have made it into our ratings anywaywould have made my picks look better though.

Hey you can promote Forest Spy and Virage De Fortune - I had Virage rated an even money chance on top, and Forest Spy rated a $3.00 chance on top, so that'd get them clear of their equals if I'd been smart enough to remember to tip

Can you tip on Friday night this week Duritz???
