Slightly different rules this week to give tipsters a bit more choice:

COMPETITION RULES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a) $100 to bet with each week. A $20 All-up bet and $80 in Win bets.

(b) ALL-UP BET: Everyone to pick out a $20 all-up bet at one of the venues each week. You can have 2, 3 or 4 races and you are allowed to pick each selection for a win OR for a place. With your All-up, normal place betting rules apply. If your dog runs 3rd in a field of 7 and there's no 3rd div, then that's a loss. Also, please set out very clearly if you want any or all of them for a place, because if not, I'll just assume you're picking them to win.

(c) WIN BETTING: A maximum of 2 dogs per race. $80 to be divided up as you wish, but you can only bet $5, $10, $15 or $20 on any one race. In other words, you can have any combination of 5,10,15 or 20 dollar races you wish as long as it adds up to the $80. And you CAN include any or all of the dogs you've already picked in your all-up in these bets.

Haven't had much time to look at them this week, so I decided to include a few selections from a roughie system I've been looking at. Anyway, here goes:

ALL-UP
Sandown
3-3 Karaoke Nat (win)
4-1 Lara's Hope (win)
5-7 Dallas Major (win)

WIN BETS
Albion Pk 5-1 Shapely Creek & 7 Serbian Diamond $5
Sandown 3-3 Karaoke Nat $10
Sandown 4-1 Lara's Hope $10
Sandown 5-7 Dallas Major $10
Angle Pk 1-8 Cashmere Candy & 1 Frosty Miller $5
Angle Pk 8-1 Arvo's Junior & 8 Dancing Olivia $5
Angle Pk 11-4 Satanic Blaze & 8 Ruby Title $5
Hobart 6-7 How Sage $10


Now, here's all the selections from that roughie system I was talking about. They've been going okay recently, so let's see how they go this week:
Alb Pk 5-1 Shapely Creek*
Dapto 2-7 Kimba's Spirit
Sand. 2-2 I'm A Maid
Sand. 7-6 Stanton
Sand. 9-2 Stoddard
Hobart 9-5 Starfire Jordan
Hobart 10-4 Another Roady
Ang Pk 1-1 Frosty Miller*
Ang Pk 2-6 Trouser's Girl
Ang Pk 5-6 Bernard Bale
Ang Pk 7-3 Super Snoop
Ang Pk 8-8 Dancing Olivia*
Ang Pk 11-8 Ruby Title*

Sandown 4-1 $20
Sandown 3-3 $20
Sandown 1-1 $20
Hobart 6-7 $20

ALL-UP: Sandown 1-1 into 3-3 into 4-1 - all for a place $20

Looks like not many takers for the comp tonight. Anyway, I'm going to make a change to my all-up bet:

Sandown
3-3, 4-1, 5-7 & 8-3 all for a place.

Well, those system selections haven't started well. Looks like it's back to the drawing board with that one.

i suggest we put these comp in the "forgotten" pile - due to lack of interest

going well too :-(

Yeah, I agree.

Sandown 4-1 $20 - $-20
Sandown 3-3 $20 - $+$28
Sandown 1-1 $20 - $-$20
Hobart 6-7 $20 - +$28

ALL-UP: Sandown 1-1 into 3-3 into 4-1 - all for a place $20 = +$20.32

Return: $136.32
N/P: $36.32

What divs were you using??? Just using Unitab divs which I have in front of me, your bets returned $104.80 and mine $77.00. Anyway, due to lack of interest, I think we'll ditch the Greyhound tipping comp.

I may have to ditch that system too. It wasn't very good tonight. Just 2 winners and a few placings from 13 selections.
