Sayer 183 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Midget The points have never really worried me too much as its the fun of the competition (with its quirks) that interests me. However I cannot get my head around how as at 11 September I had 26.6 points then on Saturday select Camino Rocoso at odds around $3 and play my joker and end up going backwards to 11.6 points. Admittedly I have not followed the scoring regime but now cannot figure it out at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 Did you play your jokers ? If you didn't you automatically went on Winx ( as well as your nominated bet ) and thus lost 40. I'll check your scores tonight and revert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That should've returned about 180 points taking you to approx 240, I'll check it later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHB at 8.50 gets you say 24 points in a G1, then Winx was -40 so your bet change was about minus 16. Does that add up Ted ?

Does that add up Ted ? Thanks ??? Why the deduction of 40 for Winx? I never selected her and did nominate to play the joker on BHB.

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted September 18, 2017 Let me advise my 51 staff, and my 5 kids, and various friends, that I won't be available for a few days while I sort this out. Now I understand how important this is to those of you who don't have a business, family, or friends, but can we agree that you'll just PM me with your grievance, I'll sort it when I get time, let's say by Thursday, but that you won't clog the thread in the interim with this terrible injustice. i will sort it, but let's just do it privately by PM Thanks. shaneMcAlister 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they retired the great mare after the race so might be the last chance you get to see her race. Looking forward to it. Look forward to your Birdcage reports you did 3 years ago - really like them and made a few dollars - are you going to do it this year Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted,please admit that you were at The Morrinsville TaxindaNot parade today. Lee and I think we saw your favourite Gumboots featured on the News. (Mind you ,Ted, my vision was a bit askew after Impulsive Habit actually stood up and said "I wanna be a Racehorse ") So how could you know your personal score in this Competition!! Ted, I might shout you an allup in a few months, when your Makfi filly lines up on a premier day into a very special horse who thinks his Father is Iffraaj. OnePrizeOneGoal.
