Hesi Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Thanks Maria to you and your Hot Baches for the thrilling match. I was all ready to commiserate with you about coming out on the wrong side of a close contest, scoring many more points than us slashers, then PJ slam dunked in the last, and broke what was almost an impasse. Cheeky bugger never told the rest of us about the $55 shot. Anyway, nice win Reapers, sitting nicely in 3rd on a good aggregate. Original market seems to have a smidgeon of accuracy. Thanks as always PJ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 1st 8 pts Mr Aybees $4415.20 2nd 8 pts Offngone $4253.80 3rd 6 pts Grim Reapers $3983.80 4th 6 pts Yahabebees $3265.00 5th 6 pts Surf N Turf $3145.40 6th 4 pts Max Factors(J) $2825.60 7th 2 pt Hot Baches $3596.20 8th 1 pts Grey Ways $2579.80 9th 0 pts Wurzels $2243.80 5/1 Off n'Gone Definite faves and should be hard to head off 8/1 Surf n'Turf A lot of question marks about this team, but a top 4 finish is on the cards 10/1 Grim Reapers Great value at 10's and should win with the line up 25/1 Wurzels A second half of the field finish, as they probably don't have the firepower to trouble some of the other line ups 25/1 Hot Baches Hi ho hi ho, it's off to second last we go. What a bache 30/1 Yahabeebe Gonna take an almighty effort Howard to win this one, a second half of the field finish also 50/1 Max Factor I have them as last finisher, if they finish at all 20/1 Aybees Will be running on at the finish, but will it be in the right direction 20/1 Grey Way Could be the surprise package, if they can kick the habit, but save your money for the more fancied runners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Blue Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Word is BET 365 has opened up the market with Team 'Craigos' at even money??. Sportsbet already has them in the Red 5-4 on........ (The market that opened on day of the draft.) 12 hours ago, Hesi said: nice win Reapers, sitting nicely in 3rd on a good aggregate. Original market seems to have a smidgeon of accuracy Hesi.... We can All see why you are not a Bookie and Sportsbet and BET 365 are making millions $$. your 20-1 for the Mr AyBees was showing a 'smidgeon ' of INaccuracy if anything lol . and the AyBees are in fact cruising along in the lead already after 3 UNbeaten rounds , and haven't even kicked out of 2nd gear yet. Some Bookies are doing well lol.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWJ Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Okay people. Yesterday was a dog's breakfast as far as trying to run the comp goes. Some of it was my fault but a lot was down to people not being able to follow simple rules. I have considered all that has happened and decided to make changes to the rules for posting selections/subs/corrections. There is a responsibility on the competitors to take care when posting their selections and especially on Captains to ensure that your team has posted correctly and that you make any changes necessary to give your team their maximum opportunity. This has not been happening in one or two teams so far. For team captains, this is not rocket science. It simply requires you to spend 30 minutes (see the rule change below) to review selections for 5 team members and fix any issues. Once the entry thread is closed off completely I will now have 30 minutes to note all selections and changes and hopefully to post extrapolations. EVERY POST ANYONE MAKES ON THE SELECTION PAGE, BE IT COMPETITOR OR CAPTAIN - MUST BE A NEW THREAD/MESSAGE. THAT'S DONE BY CLICKING THE BLUE BUTTON TOP RIGHT EACH TIME. Again, most do this already but some will need to change their habits. Here are the changes. Any questions to clarify anything please ask now: CHANGES TO CLOSING TIME - SCRATCHING REPLACEMENTS - SELECTIONS AMENDMENTS Due to problems that have occurred so far in the comp the following changes will be made: a) The posting deadline for selections will now be ONE HOUR before the first race in the comp. Everyone is expected to post by this time. b) After the one hour deadline, Captains (or a nominated person from their team) will be able to post any scratching sub, missing BBs, etc necessary. They will have 30 minutes to do this. If you have team members who have posted to your own private message chat BUT NOT ON THE SELECTION THREAD then this is the time to post their selections to the selection thread. c) After this 30 minute period (1 hour before race 1 to 30 minutes before race 1) the thread will be deemed closed and no correspondence, changes, selections will be accepted after this time. Period. No excuses will be accepted. In that time I will post the extrapolations for the first race, time permitting. As in the case of Steve P yesterday who originally posted a completely wrong set of picks, this will need to be fixed before the 30 minute close off. The corrections will need to be in a new post not as an added post to the original selection post. d) THIS IS IMPORTANT. EVERY POST to the selection page needs to be a new message/thread. Do not edit posts and do not post on the thread on which you have already posted your selections. Most people do this already using a heading like "Craig's Scratching Subs" or something similar. If you don't follow this rule and add posts to your selection thread they will be ignored and any changes requested will not be granted. If Captains notice that team members have disobeyed this rule then they will have to correct the issue in a new post. RULE CHANGE: 4. Scratching Rule. You may post replacements for any scratching by making a new post entirely (i.e. new thread) clearly indicating your replacement selection(s). This may now be done any time up until 1 HOUR before the first race which I will refer to as CLOSING TIME. If you have not posted by then your Captain (or other team member) will have 30 minutes to submit a replacement set of selections on the selection thread (in a new post/thread). Any scratchings that require subs can also be submitted by the Captains at that time. It would be very helpful if you are at all able, to please check your selections for scratchings, before closing time. Once we are 1 HOUR away from the start of race one, the selection thread will be opened to allow everyone to view everyone else's selections and for Captains to have 30 minutes to post any subs, BBs etc. Selections cannot be changed at this point except in the event of scratchings or numbers posted that don't exist for that specific race. After this point - 30 minutes prior to race 1 - ALL selections are LOCKED IN. Late scratchings will go to the TAB sub followed by the 2nd favourite by TAB win odds in that order. If more than one horse meets the latter criteria then the replacement will be the horse with the higher number. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Thanks PJ Pete will incorporate the closing time into his usual announcement. In the first couple of weeks till the new format becomes familiar to all players, I will send a group PM to all captains on Sat morning, advising of close time and the fact they then have 30 minutes to check all team member selections to ensure they are posted on the correct thread, scratchings, missing team input etc etc 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
