Ponderosa8 1,353 Report post Posted December 1, 2021 “Lose to Win” Entry thread - One day competition, Saturday 4 December. The rules are pretty simple, pick 1 horse in each race from the whole card at Matamata and Trentham that you think will LOSE…. so basically a Losers Get Laid type comp. The Scoring: We simply divide $100 by the closing price of your selection on the NZ tote. (e.g.. if your selection is paying $3.40 and it DOESN’T WIN, your points will be $100 divided by $3.40 = 29.41 points. If your selection happens to wins the race, you will receive a 50 point deduction. You are allowed 4 Best Bets for the day where you will as usual get double points, however, if a BB selection wins the race then you will receive a 100 point deduction. If you are unlucky enough to pick 4 winners throughout the day, you will be eliminated from the competition. Comp closes: 12.15pm Saturday. Please post in the race order shown with the horse number. (a copy and paste would be good). Matamata Race 1: Matamata Race 2: Matamata Race 3: Matamata Race 4: Matamata Race 5: Matamata Race 6: Matamata Race 7: Matamata Race 8: Matamata Race 9: Trentham Race 1: Trentham Race 2: Trentham Race 3: Trentham Race 4: Trentham Race 5: Trentham Race 6: Trentham Race 7: Trentham Race 8: Trentham Race 9: SCRATCHINGS: If you have a Scratching, you can post a new selection up until close-off time (12.15pm). If you do not post a new selection or if your horse is late scratched you will receive 5 points for that race (or 10 points if it’s a BB race). All entries MUST follow the above format incorrectly formatted entries will not be accepted. The prizes sponsored by Scooby and indirectly by Mr_Gee (Beaudz Well) and Kloppite (Capo Strada) are: 1st - $350 2nd - $100 3rd – $50 Winners to have an EW bet on a single horse (Tote odds) with 50% of the winnings to be retained for future comps. Good Luck and don’t forget your 4 BB’s jack, Memphis3, Hall and 1 other 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikenz 1,088 Report post Posted December 2, 2021 So the idea here is to have short priced favourites you pick lose to stand the best chance of getting maximum points as such ?, am I correct, picking losers is something I'm rather good at.

Yeah that's right Mike. But if that short priced favorite wins the race you get a 50 point deduction and lose 1 life... so decide your strategy....

Judging from past comps.everyone will go into 2 groups.One group will pick all favourites and cross their fingers while the other group will pick double digit priced horses and wait for the others to progressively drop out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
