Gday All

Ok I know i shouldnt buy into this ,,, BUT... Pinpointing the horse that Chuck did as a lay, to me does not seem unreasonable.. It has been said earlier ran a poor race on a heavy track at Ballarat.. It was beaten 9.7 lengths, had a better jockey on than it did at Donald (IMHO) and met much the same class of livestock, maybe the Bal race was a bit stronger.. where somebody came up with the trainer as being 'astute ' is obvioulsy a personal opinion, one that I don't happen to share.

As for nominating horse to lay, to me the shorter the lay price the better, so that would mean soft favs are the go for a layer.. It really doesnt matter if you lay to lose 500$ on a 1/1 shot or a 5/1 shot, if it wins you will still lose 500$, on the other hand if it loses the shorter the price the better the return to the layer..

As others have said no one needs to take any notice of what people post.. people can choose to take someone's opinion or not, totally up to them, BUT it is poor poor poor form, having taken the tip to bag the person tipping when it doesnt come off.. I know from personal experience I have steered people on this forum into many double figure winners, and I will tell u there are not many that acknowlege it when it happens (There ARE some tho), but there are plenty of knockers.. So the way I see it its pretty open and shut, either take the tip or don't... your call, but if you do and you are getting it for free STFU when it doesnt come off if you are not prepared to acknowlege the times IT DOES come off...

To the bloke who reckons Tips should be banned... If it worries you that much don't read em, Ignore them.. do us all a favour.. I dont believe for 1 minute that u care for the person who gets the dud tips,and does their hard earned so spare me that garbage... If you are too clever to take notice of tips you should be way ahead in your punting endeavours, and should never have a need to have a look at tips.. But leave the tipsters alone, you don't use them, it doesnt concern you.. Some people do find them useful, obviously you dont
