Summer Punting Comp?
 

Any interest in a saturday betting comp
$300 a week(all unitab Venues)
Running until last Saturday in January
Commencing Saturday 24 November

Need at least 8 people I'll tally the results each week unless someone else wants to do it

I'm in as long as it's not a luck-fest comp. [able to spend all the $300 on exotics], where one lucky punter gets a big pay out and from then on the only way to possibly catch up is with exotics betting only [boring as watching paint dry]. Why not win and place bets only?

Im in, im new to the site and am very impressed with everyones tips and ideas, I can normally pick a good winner myself but not so far on here, it will make me study the feilds just that little bit longer just so I can keep up with you guys

I agree what about win/place betting only no quinellas,exactas etc but you are allowed allups
OK ?

how about we do what we used to do a while ago (but with bigger numbers :p)

you can do:

5 bets of $60 each
or
3 bets of $60 and one special of $120

win or each way is allowed

thoughts?

Since its called summer punting comp, how about have it for 1st december 2007 til february 23rd 2008. That will cover the full summer period. Thats 12 weeks of punting action. we then can have one for autumn, winter, and spring.

If we have 300 a week to play with, we should have 4 x 50 bets, and then one big bet of 100 to equal 300.

people can punt in any combination they like 25/25, 50 straight, 50 place, 10/40, 40/10.

the big special bet can be 100 straight, or 50/50, 10/90, any combination the punter chose as long as it equals 100. and the total bets equal 300.

simple win and each way betting should be allowed.

Sounds good to me. You should think about setting a max. and min. bet. Say, $25 to $50 bets for all-ups with a max. of $100 from the $300 total for that bet type. $25 to $100 bets for both win or place. Something simple like that[?]. It will make sure there isn't too many or too few bets and make your scoring task easier, which is important too.

It's your call anyway, but I'd advise to keep it simple and easy to score. I'm not sure but, you might want to think about breaking it down to 2x6week comps. too. 3mths for 1 comp. seems too long for a result [?]

have two tables, one for amount earnt, and one which has record.

someone who wins might of bet 100 on a 50/1 shot, seems impressive, but not when their record comes out at the end displaying something like 60 starts 2 wins, 1 second 0 thirds.

another person might have 60 starts 30 wins 5 seconds 3 thirds yet didnt win.

quaddie,

I think you would get everyone betting on odds-on favorites with that method wouldn't you? A score on a 50/1 shot IS impressive!

i'm in. We better get some rules up for the comp.
Well done for adding it all up rabz - what a sport!
