Message: Northbouy, It's your comp, I would have thought this was a good point to bring in the rule, all lays must be under 10/1 as at starting time as set out in Sunday morning's whatever paper. Regards FJ
Message: I would be very happy to lay anything under 3-1 according to the Sundays papers. Wouldnt be too hard considering I would already know the results!!!!
The rules are there for everyone Fatjack. I did a mathematical equation to show the impossibility of selecting 55 lays under $5 a couple of weeks ago. This comp with the elimination rule is as much about sussing out who the smart punters are, and which punters have concepts of mathematical probabilities.
Message: This is a great comp. A really good concept North.
I like the idea of a contestant being immediately eliminated if one of their lays wins. It gives the comp a real edge.
If you are looking to change the rules to encourage people to lay shorter priced horses next time around why not have a cut off point in accumulated points after say 5 weeks in?
If a contestant constantly lays longshots then they won't accrue enough points to stay in the comp after the first 5 weeks is up.
I will be joining the next one for sure and maybe I will get through to week 2 next time....Regards from Jig.
Message: A fantastic competition. Now when are you all going to drop out so we can start again. The decision to lay Wild Queen still haunts me to this day.
Message: Thanks guys for your feedback. I think the easiest way of doing this is that if one of your lays wins you get minus points. If you end up with a balance of less than 0 then you are eliminated, stay positive and you remain in the comp. Very similar to the 'insurance points' idea I came up with and easier to manage it this way.
Like I said this comp will run its course, and then when comp 2 kicks off everyone who wasn't in comp 1 are welcome to join in.
