Using the original thread to post weekly tips with the first post after the previous week results being the beginning of the next week - does that make sense.

i will tally tomorrow and then you can tidy it up

cheers

Each for their own I guess. How many people would be able to answer correctly who finished 2nd and 3rd in last years Melbourne cup? 1 in 50 maybe. How many would answer correctly if you asked them the winner of the cup? 9 out of 10. Just some food for thought if your wondering why the participation level is not what you expect. I'm not here to start WW3, just expressing my view. I sincerely hope the comp goes well and you get high entry numbers.

how did your tip go ?

Of the 4 I had selected (thinking it was a normal comp)

only one would have been considered possible to pay over $2 the hole which was Havana Cooler in the 7th.

Evening all

i thought it timely that i express my view on the tab.com.au place comp

the rules are the same for this comp as ALL the other place comps i have run

PP7 and the tab are happy for me to run this interim comp until the spring comp recommences under PP7's rules and guidelines

rule 8 is the most important in this comp

pick a place bet cross your fingers and hope

if you don't want to join in all good

if the rules don't suit your agenda start your comp with YOUR RULES

Cheers

Well said, Ratman

if you do join and participate show some respect and consideration for those that make the effort to run these comps. After all we are not playing for sheepstations.

Rats, PP7 Westie your efforts are appreciated and thanks to TABCORP for sponsorship.

Your comp, your rules Rats.

I just logged on like normal to post (I hadn't read the rules) as most of my tips are normally later or in Perth so the 1pm caught me out

thanks

Actually Rats a repeat offender of rule 8 keeps on emerging , perhaps a stronger enforcement of it might be beneficial

Personally I think one forumite is very fortunate to still be eligible to participate in any of your comps - very fortunate indeed

Well said Spudda

yet a few weeks later Gintara posts this shit

1/ My horse is 10/1 and should pay $2.50 / $3 the place yet it plays up in the barriers and is scratched. Somehow this is a loser?

2/ My horse is 10/1 and should pay $2.50 / $3 the place yet the horse beside it goes off in the barriers kicking mine so it is scratched. Somehow this is a loser?

3/ My horse is 10/1 and should pay $2.50 / $3 the place yet it rains through the day and track is down graded, 3 are scratched, mine wins with a leg in the air but due to scratchings only pays $1.90. Somehow this is a loser?

4/ My horse is 10/1 and should pay $2.50 / $3 the place yet a float carrying horses to the track runs of the highway causing scratchings, mine wins but is has now gone around as fav but as I've tipped before 1pm, Somehow this is a loser?

5/ My horse is showing pay $2.50 / $3 the place on the fixed odds but is heavily backed through the day, wins but has been crunched into $1.80. Somehow this is a loser?

I could go on but I'm just pointing out the flaws because all of the above takes out the skill of what we do and makes it pot luck.

i think Gintara's term is untenable

he obviously bats for some teams and not others

Gintara · « 2016-Jun-28, 10:14 PM **Reply #44** »

'bout time you grew up Rats.

I simply pointed out the flaws in the rules, if you can't be an adult about it that ain't my problem

MagiC~* · « 2016-Jun-29, 12:21 AM **Reply #45** »
