[QUOTE=Spartacus]Hey Crash,
did selections very late last night and completely stuffed up
thought I'd backed a winner but discovered otherwise


Quote:
Bets for Wed 22/11 - Ballarat $100 w
R4 #2 Lancettier
R8 #8 Mr Dane[QUOTE]



Top bet was actually Harvard - which won pd 4.20 for win
Bottom bet was actually Lancettier
I obviously picked out the three horses, went off one and got things totally screwed up
As Mr Dane was scratched, any chance I can be credited
with the winner, ol' buddy ol' pal ??

Whatever the verdict I think dementia is setting in early

Lesson learned - don't do tips at 1am after writing school reports


Spartacus,

Punters getting the race or horse numbers wrong [or even both] is very common in comps., but getting the name wrong[?], well I haven't come across that before!



The moral of the story [relevant to your situation]:
Last Sat. we were away camping and the brake did a drive into Orbost for a few supplies. While there I wanted her to put 4 win bets on for me. I just wrote the meeting/race nos./horse numbers down [no names]. The 4th. bet was SA r4/11. Guess what? There wasn't that many runners in r4 but there was in r5, so she deducted I must of meant r5/11, so on went the bets.

When she got back I was mortified to note my r4/[should have been horse 5] bet was not on and my hard earned was on a 25/1pp Donkey in SA r5 and for the win, not even e/w !
Oh well I thought, that will teach me for not writing down the horses NAMES because if I had, regardless of the race or horse numbers she would have found the name and the bet would have been on.

The moral of the story here in your case, is I had the names you supplied and did the right thing and found the correct races for them both, so you are a bit up against it I'm afraid but it's not all bad news:

Oh and by the way, that wrong bet the handbrake put on for me, the $25pp Donkey in SA r5/11 instead of r4/5[lost] I wasted my hard earned on .......IT WON at $23w !!!
