MELBOURNE CUP COMP

[scooby3051]

OK I want to run a comp on the Cup, any ideas from you all would be great and the best option will be chosen as the comp for the MC. I have some ideas but would love input from everyone.

There will be a prize for the winning comp...$50.00 bet on a horse of the winners choosing...that will be seperate to the MC prize...lets see what we can come up with RaceCafer's.  Good Luck.

You want to use it on here??? Lets use it on something on Derby day??? Then they can back up into the last two days as you were suggesting??? Just PM me the rules and we will sort it.

Ok I’m easy. You decide mate. All good!

I’d go Derby Day Group 1 races only (I think there’s about 4 Group 1!races.  The most “wins” - wins a Melb Cup bet. If a tie, then count back on number of points from the dead heaters on a 3/2/1 basis. $100 win and two quinellas dividing the balance. Any winnings go to the charity you choose, but the Charity must be linked to Thoroughbred Racing. What do you think?

OK ,can someone do the scoring for this ???? I won't be able to.

Still need ideas for the Melbourne Cup comp...cheers.

Well, I'm kind of new round here but....$50 to spend on cup, $40 on EW bets. $10 exotics. Winner by total 'collected'. Nice and simple. Works on $$$ value rather than pure selecting skill. 

My .02c worth.

The race has big prize money down to 10th.

Therefore a simple comp. Pick the winner and 4 horses to run top ten. If not  won then winner and 3 horses etc. Or have 2 horses to win and 4 top ten.

Simple comp, $100 or $50 to spend however you want on the Cup only, best total takes it. 

 

Though I thought Pounds comp was going to be over a couple of days ?

[Ponderosa8]

Pick 7 horses in the Race.. Winner will be the person who gets the First Four or closest too.

If more than 1 person gets the First Four then decided on their next highest finishing runner and so on.

Pick quinella and last placed horse.

I agree that's a good start.

[Nukkledragga]

Pick best 'local",  best international, and last place.

I reckon do 12 head to heads based on the fixed odds price market at 6pm Monday (alphabetical order same quote) 

So you have 1/2 fav 3/4 fav so on and so forth , will give every competitor in the comp a chance even if you first pick runs down the track 

[Gruff]

Another fav of mine Pick four horses and add their combined finishing positions...

e.g You pick 1st 2nd 3rd and last ... 30 points 

And with ties countback goes to the best finishing positions

Scooby, regarding my offer to “re-invest” my winnings into a comp. May I suggest this: A comp where on Derby Day at Flemington, participants get one pick in all races on the card. The entrant with the most “wins” gets my $ to bet on a horse in the MC. The winnings (If any) to go to the Thoroughbred related Charity of your (you Scooby) choice. If there’s a tie in the number of wins, then the count back will be on the number of G1 wins. If a further count back, then G2 wins. What do you think? 

[scooby3051]

Ok we will do a simple comp 3 selections pick the Quinella and last placing.....if there is any left that are passed fit LOL....I will put up the field and an entry thread Saturday night after final field is listed. $500.prize.
