scooby3051 10,694 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 How many would like to be in for a comp over the Spring, similar to last years one. Starting next Saturday on every group race run in NZ and Oz between next week and the end of the Spring carnival,in NZ and Oz and with a couple of twists. NZ trotting cup will be included and you will have 2 chances during the course of the comp to play a joker to get you 2x the normal allotted points. Is there anyone who would like to run this??? And the prizes I will work out when we see the response to having the comp. Cheers Scooby. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Sounds a great idea me and Sarah would have a go of entering. Couple people on here that already have spreadsheets set up so could run this comp on the side of their others. With losers got laid coming to an end and successful pj comp should get a few starters for this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby3051 10,694 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 Hmm maybe a few too many... and do people want a points system 5,3,1 or an imaginary bet??? So what say then we do all Group 1 and 2 races only that will cut it down a bit??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what say then we do all Group 1 and 2 races only that will cut it down a bit??? What about everyone has $10 to spend on every G1/2 race and can either go 10 win, 10 place or 5 each way. Maybe a bit more work for the person that runs it but a bit of strategy involved. I'm in no matter the rules, cheers.

jasonmccook1 2,359 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 8 hours ago, hesi said: Just keep it the same as last year, 5 group races each week nominated by Scooby, $10 ew, one Best bet per week. Points system means you get the same for selecting Winx as you do for selecting a 15/1 shot. I'm in anyway. The alternative is a totally different comp. Nimue and I have talked about a format where you have a starting pool, say $10,000 Saturday's only, you could make it group races only or you could elect X number of races, or elect say 2 meetings in Aus, 2 in NZ Must have X number of bets per Sat, so can't sit on your pool, maybe not, be interesting to see someone just sitting on their 10K pool, as to how they went Possibly all bet types, maybe not jackpot types like Pick 6. Maybe a max and min total you have to bet each Saturday, maybe not, $10,000 to win on Winx??? Once your pool is gone you're out Same format as last year sounds good easier to manage for whoever runs it and if you are like me and sometimes runs close to deadline picking numbers easier then workingout how much to spend and how etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midget 4,489 Report post Posted September 2, 2016 I'll be in but I guess you'll want me handicapped to give the others a chance Scooby. I'd like to nominate a few others to run, and I've found a small village called IDIOT with a dozen or so residents that I'd like to call upon. Just to show how good they are and how much they know. Mike Dillon, Murray Fish, aka Stop It, aka David O'Kane, Kakama, or anyone else from God's rubbish dump aka Rangiora, Colon Wightman & Jayne Ivil. If you can persuade the five to enter I'll take their combined tally on ( yes five against one ) and the loser has to give $500 to the City Mission or Salvation Army. jasonmccook1 and Memphis2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
