Roughies comp

EDIT: can the duplicate thread in bet tracker be deleted plz mods

Ok ladies, let's get some traceability going on our selections - and what better way to keep track of this than a friendly competition . This is stolen from another forum but I like the concept:

Each week, competitors can tip up to 20 selections on any TAB-covered meeting within Australia. I'm thinking perhaps 5 on a Wednesday, 10 Saturday and 5 Sunday (or any day?) with selections to be submitted before the commencement of race 1.

The winning dividends will need to be $8 or over, and place dividends $2 or over in order to be counted.

Points will be awarded based on the tote win/place dividends from TAB - so if you tip a winner that is paying $18 and $4, you will get 18+4=22 points. If it only places at $4, you will just get 4 points. If it wins but pays $7 and $1.90 you get no points.

Key rules:
- 1 selection per race
- win dividend capped at $70
- Australian gallop meetings only

I can keep track of selections and update a ladder weekly.

Thoughts, feelings & observations welcome

this is my type of comp, only problem is i dont actually get a chance to study the form on weekdays. do we have to tip every race meeting. Plus i rarely do each way no matter what the odds are... does that matter?

The 5 on wednesday 10 saturday 5 sunday was just a suggestion. No issues if you want to make it any TAB covered meet from Monday to Sunday, but 20 selections max - how you divvy up those selections is up to you.
Every selection will be each way.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Will aim to start next Monday if we get a few more punters on board

 

[FallingLiefs]

Cold Sober Cuzz09 Better Loosen Up

 

[Cold Sober]

I'll have a dip

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Assuming all of Cold Sober iluvparis HeathComeBack FallingLiefs Youdy are on board. Will start with selections from Monday the 15th and anyone who joins between now and then can do so. Doesn't matter if people join after this either but still only 20 selections maximum per week - don't have to use all 20 if you can't find value but the selections you don't use do not roll over into the following week

If anyone has selections for Monday then they must be posted before the commencement of that specific meeting.

Also will cap the maximum win at $70, just in case some idiot comes in and flukes a 151/1 winner

20 a week? Get ready for me to pull some random s**t out of my arse

All power to you if you can pick them! Picking a winner that pays $8 shouldn't really be that hard to pick though.

Might drag back the cap to $50 in this case, and call it the MattyG rule

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I'm in!

Maybe rather than a maximum it would be better to have a minimum? Perhaps 5 per week minimum.

I don't mind it but then what's stopping someone coming in and picking the roughest horse in every single meet and eventually jags one? 5 week min / 20 week max? At least there's some regulations then

Yep. All good

 

[Watts4Dinner]

Drakes. Will you be offering a prize, such as a Quaddie that bombs in the first leg? And will you also ban Paris from winning anything as per the rules of previous games?

 

[Better Loosen Up]

So.... are we starting on Monday?

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Yep.

Any selections for the meetings need to be in before race 1 or invalid

 

[Better Loosen Up]

How are we going to keep score? Will you add it to the original post?

But what’s the prize that iluvparis cant win? I would suggest 5% of * all. Maybe FallingLiefs can pick it for you.
