Need a big effort today after choosing the mighty Hesi to play against. Invoking the spirit of the Black Caps here.

Apparently cost TAB 600k in payouts.

Kumai who won 2 Parliamentary Handicaps?

The only similarity between cricket and the sport all you poofters follow, is that each team has 11 players, other than that cricket is superior in every way

Yeah thanks for that 🙄

One of the few times I agree with you.

No chance...

And this will be me

Hey buddy, you oughta check the stats before letting the hot air out of the bag, I'm 4 and zip

Mere detail my friend. The psychological pressure will be your undoing.

Whereas I have absolutely nothing to lose because I'm crap.

Call it an FA Cup 4th round tie. Upsets happen regularly. I know what a scholar of English football you are.

By Saturday morning you'll look like this

Ok we'll play the old HTD. Only real change is that I need an easy kill for confidence levels so I'll take Hesi and Rees can take care of Roland.

Why on earth did you play your joker against the top team Pete?

A very good question. Answers on a used tote ticket.

I think the captain has lost the dressing room 🤨

Well playing the joker went well didn't it?

I think we need a name change.

What about those value bets Hesinator came up with to win Brian’s comp you guys would be favourite’s

 

It was a bit of a joke Ian. Hesi and I are far happier being opponents 😎

1) I think you stick to Saturday only

2) Win only you use the highest price of the 3 tabs, (tote odds not fixed) as  too many people will be disadvantaged not understanding BF 

3) You only need use a $1 win bet as it works out exactly the same in the long run

4) NZ races and Australian races only

5) Cut off time 11-59am NZ time

6) You have teams of 3 eg Mardi/Barry/LFV might be one team

Say no more/TC/VvD might be another team

Sir C /Jenlove:/Maximus might be another team 

Gee/Dogstar/? Might be another team

Pete/Hesi/? might be another team

VC!/Gypsy Nicks/? Might be another

PJ/Sharne/Jamison might be another 

Brian/Rosina/Betty might be another etc etc etc etc you get the picture 

7) Each player has 3 picks that makes 9 in total for the day

😎 To qualify for the $500 prize it obviously goes to the team with the highest total but that team must be in profit at the end of the 28 weeks

9) At the end of the comp the winning team  members will select 1 runner each to run in the first 3 any race anywhere the runner must be paying a minimum of $2 for a place The $500 will be put on their 3 selections as a multi eg $2 x $2 x $2 would equal $8 ...500 times the collect would equal a minimum of 4 thousand of which each player in the team would collect 1k this would leave 1k  over of which $500 would be returned to you Hesi and the remaining $500 to start up another comp and do it all over again

I'm not going on the same team as Hesi 🤨

Has attracted a load of whinging. Thoughts?

These people clearly have too much money.

Already a step up. Bit Of A Yawn asking for me to pay to have extra services. Is that a bit like the village blow hard gets on K' Rd? 

There does seem to be some degree of desperation  in going to a subscription model for sites like these.

I don't see how it will work but good luck to anyone who wants to splash their hard earned out on it.

Only 4 rounds left and HTD (Home Town Draw) not used yet by anyone. Is it a dead duck ? Are we too afraid of offending anyone ??

Actually I'd completely forgotten about it PJ. Will consider it in the next round or two.

Sand weighed down with oil apparently. Not sure that would really be suitable in NZ.

Love the track name, Fannie Bay 😁

Heres a decent multi builder for you.

Race 7 no 7 Go Nicholas $26 or $5.25 place

Searching for this distance, will relish the dead surface, pace is on in this race and with a clear early run he can get these, be very surprised if its not in the first 3.

Yep Shelly Hale said in the Herald this morning that he's lost a bit of interest because of bad beginnings but that they were going to try and hunt him out from the barrier this week.

I agree, a really good bet at decent odds.

yes but if it helps  financialy im all for them

Finances aren't an issue. I'm not suggesting we have them, it was more a roundabout way of pointing out that we don't have them whilst others do 😃

Just interested in everyone's view on these on a forum like this. Personally I find them really annoying so we've made a conscious decision to keep them away from this site.

I just wondered whether any of you had strong views for or against.
