Top Cat - Week 1 interim results

Recommended Posts

Hesi is out of action today so has asked me to look after round 1 results  :)

I have created this interim thread for that - Hesi can create an official thread when he's back in action.  I will post unofficial balances on here at the end of the day - too difficult (and too nice a day) to post updates throughout the day.  Please check your scores at the end of the day and let me know of any errors - both in your favour or to your detriment :P

Need a couple of clarifications from Hesi:

- how exactly does the Get Out Of Jail card work - see brief discussion on the entry thread - is it stakes refunded or losses refunded or net loss refunded?   This one won't affect today's scores but suggest you hold off playing it until the rule is clarified - unless of course you've done all your dough in which case its a no brainer.

- how do we score those who breached the 3 bets maximum rule?  DQ for week 1 and start in week 2 with a $9,000 balance?  Accept the first three bets listed?  Make an exception for week 1 and accept all the bets?   [will leave Hesi to make a call on this]

Kay has posted advising to use first three bets - sounds like a good plan.  I will do likewise for all who posted more than 3 bets.  Hesi can always amend if he had a different approach in mind.

I said no updates during the day but so far, from a quick flick through the picks, it looks like big joker collects for Catalano (Jackstar place) and Lecithin (Gift Of Power win) and a couple of big all-ups underway - Howie finishing on Five to Midnight and Rdytdy on Night's Watch (which kicks off all my all-ups)

I think we have around 75 or 76 entries in total.

Thanks for the clarifications Hesi.  

Impressive that you were able to get out of bed and to the keyboard with a dose of the manflu.  Not everyone in this competition will appreciate just how debilitating a serious dose of the manflu can be.

Sadly I well and truly stuffed up today.

Firstly I will accept the adjudicator's decision regarding my postings.

I posted correctly last night but when Snowdrop came out, which I learnt of this morning, I said to cancel my original posting and I re-posted which then broke the rules by putting in too many bets. It was a brain fade, that's for sure.

As a suggestion, if you think it's fair, you can disregard my second posting as it is invalid anyway, and go with my original posting that was correct. At least that way I have adhered to the rules, even though I asked you to cancel it this morning!

Week 1 results (interim):

Here's what I believe are the results for week 1.  Please check your scores as I may have missed scratchings, jokers, etc.....  Let me know if I have your score wrong

A few big collects today but Gaf is our leader with a $5,000 win bet on Natuzzi with a joker play.  Casper with $1,000/$9,000 on Volks Lightning (joker) and Rdytdy with a nice all-up and a joker still up his sleeve.

The scores below are before any Get Out Of Jail Free cards are played.  I will take it as a given that the 17 entrants with a NIl balance will be playing their GooJF card - you don't need to notify us.  If anyone else wants to play it please let us know on here.   Porky and Southland I figure you might be playing yours as well.  Just to remind you, the GooJF card effectively cancels everything that happened for you today and puts you back to where you started the day.

Note, next week you must spend at least 10% of your balance.  For those of you in the racing industry you can calculate 10% simply by removing the last digit from your balance (excluding cents).  Mind you any trainers among you should be well versed at calculating 10%.

Have gone with the second posting (as you cancelled the first), and followed Hesi's recommendation to take your first three bets.  Gives you a slightly better result but not a lot in the overall scheme of things.

Told myself I wasn't going to do it, but I did.  Calculated just now that if Hiflyer had run a place (not too much to ask is it Danielle?), I would have collected just over $112,000 in this comp.

Of course "if" is the key word:  if the Queen had balls she'd be King - she doesn't and she's not, and Hiflyer didn't and my balance is $10,000 and I've used my GooJF card.

I did the same.Calculated if i had taken a ALL UP with the horses i originally posted to take eachway i would have had 418,992.No kidding.Originally had all 4 of williams/Richards winners eachway,then someone said you can only have 3 bets so thought about taking them in All up for 1000 then decided to drop Natuzzi and just take first 3 eachway.

Still a bit confused here. Played my Joker and blew the whole $10k. You state that we didn't need to let you know we were playing GOOJF card so that's assumed. Do I get to play the Joker on a subsequent week ? Thanks in advance for clarification. Cheers

Short answer is Yes PJ...see Hesi's reply third down at top of the post.
