Yep no problem. I was thinking more about getting a bit of banter happening on a Saturday, seeing as how a few people are posting now. A group bet is a good thing to organize for that.

I replied to this post in the post above Wadda but the post didn't quote--up (so to speak)

But as for the exotic 6(?) pick should we just include Behemoth as the first choice so we can all pick something else.

Solved the problem of finding the 6th participant as well.

My only thing with that is there are normally 3 or 4 emergencies in these types of races and usually a few scratchings so probably doesnt get finalized till Sat morning anyway if long shots are selected for places.

If you want to run with 3/7/7/7 for example or 1/9/9/9 then ppl might need to nominate more than 1 horse.

6 picks and then people can do whatever they like with them ... allows everyone to have their own flexibility.

So we just list the 6 picks once the 6 are in.  Any scratchings and again,  allow each individual to adjust on their own terms

Keep it as simple as possible.

Otherwise,  it's too cumbersome and high maintenance.

Behemoth as the standard bearer (?) So we then only need 5 others.  We'll probably be done by Friday is my guess.

I might go 3/7/7/7 but adding my own choice to the 6 (but not publicly)

Yes, but thats what i mean....if the person who picked the scratching is not around on Saturday morning or doesnt notice, then they cant select a replacement within a reasonable amount of time. Its never straightforward a we know.

In that case you can either make the 1st emergency replacement horse their pick instead/try and notify the person concerned to make another selection or make a decision with the punters who are around that morning/early arvo.

Im happy to go with one out for a first go....might be easier.

So you want 1 out + six selections (1 selection each)?

If it goes from 6 nominated to 5 because of a Saturday scratching I don't believe we should be too fussed.  Make it low maintenance

Individuals can add their own private choice or choices from the 5 left over if there's a Saturday scratching.

If the scratching happens Friday or earlier the person gets another go if they are alerted and aware.

Otherwise the thing becomes too cumbersome with too much moderation for any individual (and it won't be me as I work Saturdays)

Any earlier scratching can be worked the same way we work the best bets. 

By the way,  with the best bets,  I don't view the choices as a 5 or 6 pick multi as first port of call.  Others can but that's their choice.

I'd much rather single bets,  a double or 2 and maybe a treble.  I'll still have a coffee on the bigger multi but with zero expectations. 

 

 

@Wadda We Sing ... executive decision time.

If you're going to be around on Saturday and we get a late scratching,  just add one yourself.  But you're going to have to do it early as people here won't want to hang around or wait too long.  I barely get 5 minutes to scratch myself on a Saturday so I don't want to be checking in here too much.  Not everyone is idle during Covid-19.  Half I know are flat out like I am.  The other half are bored witless. 

Or just leave it at 5 choices (if we had 6 nominated) ... I'll leave it up to you.  We can worry about rotating the sub choice later on but from a personal point of view,  it won't bother me at all if there are only 5 choices ... I'll just add 1 or 2 myself.

The Team Exotic (for want of a better term)

  • The choices (6) can be used for your favourite type of exotic bet (Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta, First4)
  • A total of 6 nominated horses only in a chosen event (so get in early) n.b. One choice each only
  • If your choice gets scratched you get another choice (once alerted)
  • All choices will be collated at the end of the week for your perusal (Friday or Saturday)
  • Nominate 1 horse only - it's not multi choice.  No pre-empting please.
  • If possible,  nominate your choice along with your best bet (in the same post)
  • Remember,  it's all about the team!

This week's nominated race is the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes so good luck!

Executive decision - unless anyone has any objections,  we can include 'Behemoth' as the default 1st pick.  That way, everyone else can look for some value.  So we're really only looking for 5 more choices. 

And I don't mind in the least if I miss out first time up ... so go to it ladies and gentlemen.  First in,  best dressed.  I'll make a choice on Friday if all the slots aren't filled by then.

Some nice value there fella's

I've already worked out a few doubles and a treble as well as using 1 or 2 picks as place options (in small multi's)

The big multi only has to cost the price of a coffee but there is always value within all the picks. 

And there's still a couple/few best bets to come in. 

This is the bounce-back weekend, I know it ?

And we have 3 choices already for the 6 pick exotic (Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes)

#1 Behemoth (Default Pick)

#4 Cascadian (DZ)

#11 Age of Chivalry (Gorg)

If there aren't any more takers by 6pm tomorrow I'll post up a choice.

But I like all the choices so far anyway ... My first 3 choices have been taken up but in such a wide open betting race,  there's a few others to choose from

So we should have it all finalised by tomorrow evening.  Putting a bet on is optional of course and up to the individual in any way they prefer.

I'm tossing up between a Tri & F4 but I might split my outlay and have 2 smaller bets on either exotic.

And a small percentage can still deliver a very decent dividend.

Thanks in advance for participating.

All decent fields too ... Mugatoo being the hot favourite in the Cup

But I'm doing a few small F4 bets (testing the water for tomorrow!)

Go to Racenet.com for the fields & form

Might best bet has been scratched tomorrow! 

So I'll go with the below as my replacement:

The all important numbers are  ... 1,  4,  5,  6,  11 & 13.  Use them any way you wish.

So we"ve got our 6 choices for the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.  If there's a scratching in the morning Wadda can post up the sub choice.

And we can all get our chance to post up the possible sub (in rotation) but you've got to be available to do so on a Saturday morning

Might be best to hold off on having a bet in the race post the morning scratchings.  Just a thought.

But let's hope we can get a collect first time up.  All our choices have been winning or running on well in good company so we're definitely in with a chance.

Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes 1400m Group1 $500k

#1 Behemoth (Default Pick) 7-2

#4 Cascadian (DZ) 12-1

#5 Superstorm (Macca) 9-1

#6 Dollar for Dollar (JV) 25-1

#11 Age of Chivalry (Gorg) 9-1

#13 Pretty Brazen (Wadda) 15-1

Tagaloa not nominated by any of us, I do like that horse

Don't mozz things Gorg!!!  Don't you know the golden rules of punting (unwritten) ?

Shoosh!

Let's face it,  there's a heap of chances but you can't have them all. 

But I know this,  if we do land a Tri or F4 with these picks (in the right combo) the dividend will be healthy.  Esp if Behemoth is run out of the finish.

But the big boy is the horse to beat.  It's drawn well and Williams shouldn't have too much trouble getting the horse out in a (probable) truly run race.

The topweight at 60kgs but the lightweight horses are carrying 54kgs (instead of 52kgs)

As always,  you need a bit of luck.

Yeah I know, my bad...

Might drop $10 on that 6 for a f4, if it gets up 3% should be a healthy return especially if as you said behemoth is the fourth or not in it at all.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
