Hi all those that are interested. I was wondering if people were interested in resuming the tipping comp that this forum has had in the past?

I would suggest basing the rules on the comp we had for the recent Autumn Racing Carnival.

Briefly the rules are (from memory):
- $50 "outlaid" or bet each Saturday every week of the comp
- all win bets only
- 5 x $10 maximum outlay per race, or
- 3 x $10 max bet and 1 x $20 "special" bet
- each weeks' tips must be in by the jump of your first selection (ie: before 12:45pm if you first tip is in Race 2 at 12:45pm
- any selections that are scratched can be changed before the start of the first run of your first seletion only
- all other scratchings will be "carried over" to the next week
- all prices are from Unitab only
- it is up to the idividual to get all tips and prices correct


If I have left anyting out please reply. I reckon we could begin this weekend Saturday 4 September and run to the end of the carnival.

Any furhter suggestions please reply

I think there should be 1 feature race each week that everybody HAS to tip in. For instance, on Caulfield Cup day, everybody has to tip in the Cup. What do you think?

Sounds fun..will be in it for sure :smile:

I'm new to the site, so count me in.

I agree with a feature race each week. Eg, this week would be Ascot Vale.

Only 1 question, what is meant by scratchings can be carried forward to the next week? Does this mean that I can bet $60 the next week if I have a scratching?

Yep.

yes puntz, i do remember that...i also remember PardonMe gave you a huge run for your money...should be fun

Okay, I suggest we tip on the following days and concentrate on the following feature races. What do you guys think? Any suggestions most welcome. Will everyone be able to tip on Oaks day? If not, we can rule that one out.

Sep 4 Ascot Vale Stks
Sep 11 Manikato Stks
Sep 18 Gloaming Stks
Sep 25 George Main Stks
Oct 2 Epsom Hcp
Oct 9 Caulfield Guineas
Oct 16 Caulfield Cup
Oct 23 Cox Plate
Oct 30 Vic Derby
Nov 2 Melbourne Cup
Nov 4 VRC Oaks
Nov 6 Emirates Stks
Nov 13 Sandown Classic

Remember, everyone is allowed one week's grace from tipping. In other words, you are allowed to miss one week without being penalised. Any week after that you lose $50.

Puntz, you would still have the same number of bets as before (5x$10 OR 1x$20 & 3x$10), but one of your bets must be in the feature race of the day. Good idea??? I think it adds interest.
