Mooee

I have expressed a point of view. The inundation of these forum boards with chronically losing tips serves no other purpose than the dumbing down of punters per se. Others have noted the abscence of quality posters and as a consequence the content of posts has diminished accordingly.

You may not share that point of view - tough luck. If you geniunely think I am putting anyone in particular down then please identify precisely whom. Otherwise you might want to occupy your time with something other than small minded mischief.

..in case u haven't noticed there's been a little competition going on between a group of forum ‘personalities’ (have shared many a thread) to hit the big 1000 posts. Hence their focus has been on quantity of posts and not quality.

Many threads u can see where they feed-off each other, often leaving ‘lead-in’ posts for the next round of banter.

One ‘personality’ recently reached the big 1K and then had post count subsequently reduced (thread deletion) :lol:

Came back not long after, complained about the post reduction and quickly went into a posting frenzy to get back over the 1K again :lol:

Hope you enjoy your time here and learn heaps.



Bhagwan, the good Dr has a point. SOME of the arguments here are very circular in nature and lack any real thought, let alone substance. (Reminds why I rarely submit posts/threads on a certain New Zealand racing forum. There is only so much ignorance one can take). I would ask that posters justify their argument (including tips) before submitting and then debate surely would follow? For instance, I'm not that keen on Starcraft to win the Cox (prefer Elegant Fashion) and have given my reasons while other posters say he's a good thing. But why is he good thing, etc...? On the whole though, I have found the MAJORITY of posters to be GOOD VALUE; included are the aforementioned posters and Mr J (sports). At the end of the day everyone has their own opinion and the choice to view and comment on another posters viewpoint.

Nice place to make comments on posting.
Romanatkoz!.Looks like you are in a competition as well.the user to make the least number of posts.Wouldn't that be fun if no-one posted!Unless it was an emergency.
I think posting is great.
Bit like the newspaper.You have a gloss over the headlines,and if it don't turn you on you move to the next item.
Suppose the major problem occurring is that many of the posts,and I am an offender,don't suit the TOPIC.
Maybe we could all read the topic one more time before we push the submit key.

Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Have had a few days off so haven't been able to reply.Getting ready to go to the Melbourne Cup for the first time so really looking forward to that.

I was wondering whether someone who has a datbase might be able to check something out for me. I saw a post on here about the 100 raters that were > $9 on the tabonline site and started mucking around with a few other filters. They went something like this

Basically no maiden races or 2yo races.
Sat only
4 main meeting plus nsw provincial usually Newc or Kembla

the only 100 Rater
$7 or more sp
No first up
Dist <+400 >-100 from last start
<1kg more from last start
Btn < 4.0 len last start


I know there are a few filters but I didn't want to have 50 bets per weekend - all these usually narrow it down to about 1-2 per meeting. If all that takes too long then I'll go back over it manually. Really appreciate if anyone is able to test it.
