NATIONAL PUNTING LEAGUE (Spring 2018)

Here's how the comp works. We will all be tipping against each other for 10 weeks from this Saturday, August 25, through to October 27. Then at the completion of those 10 weeks, the top tipsters will go to a final series over the week of the Melbourne Cup carnival.



Please read the rules carefully.

RULES

1. Of the 10 weeks during the preliminary rounds, you must tip on at least 7 of them. You are allowed to miss 3 weeks. No more. People will have to start tipping by September 15 or they miss out.

2. You can post anywhere between 3 and 15 selections each week.

3. You can bet anywhere between $60 and $300 each week. The leading tipsters are judged on % profit, not the total amount of profit. So betting more won't give you a better chance. But you can change the amount you bet from week to week depending on your confidence.

4. On each selection, you can bet any multiple of $5 up to $30, either win only or win & place. Last time I allowed place only betting but I've gone back to the previous rule which was that you must bet at least $5 for the win on every selection.

5. You can tip at any Australian or New Zealand gallops meeting covered by UBET on Saturdays. Which is just about everything.


Calculating your $ return:
I will be using Sportsbet TT+ to calculate the return on all races if available. If not available, I will be using UBET dividends.

Sorry I'm a bit late with the scores. will do that tonight.

Sportz,

Thanks for running the comp again this season. Unfortunately I am travelling a fair bit for the next few months and won't be able to commit to tipping so I will sit this one out.

Good start for kiwi...
