Thanks for the words fellas, don't know what to say, amazing day and it hasn't really sunk in yet. Going to treat next season like 38 cup finals and enjoy every one of them whatever the results. This is what football should all be about, what Blackpool fans & the two previous years fans of Burnley & Hull experience as their sides climbed from the depths of the lower divisions to reach Wembley with a chance of a lifetime to play in the big league is like fantasy football. Fans of Man Utd, Chelsea etc may well dominate all the major comps & win loads of trophies but their fans expect success, what the fans of the Tangerines experienced on Saturday the supporters of the bigger clubs will never experience & I truly believe that some supporters would have watched the game on saturday & would have been envious of the passion & feeling winning the play off brings. |

Pumpy, I assume you (or someone) has all the stats for the Placepot comps stored in a spreadsheet?
It would be interesting to see an average scores leaderboard as well as an overall leaderboard. There must be loads of players who either don’t take part in every one of them or who have only started recently. They stand little chance of ever catching up with the regulars and seeing their name in lights. A batting averages table though is something that anyone, new, old or part-time, can aspire to climb to the top of. Probably need a minimum of say six participations (or whatever) to get an average figure quoted. Would the info for an averages table be easy to extract? |

needs to be an average / day
ave/ ppot comp is unfair as some last 4 days and others one. |
|
By:
Not sure if some sort of average was put up at the end of 2009
I will get Chaz to take a look. Sadly with no archive I doubt he would have them stored somewhere. At the end of 2010, I supsect the average could be found per comp but there would have to be a minimum ammount of comps played to get a fair result. |
|
By:
In the 2009 averages I think Poppydog was top, but he only played in about 4 or 5.

.......... and if he's only playing in 4 day festivals an average per comp means very little.

For finding a page you want - for old placepot comps. for example
 http://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/forum/view/94038/165686/Chit_Chat?pg=??? Insert the page number you want where the question marks are. It helps if you know the rough date you're looking for.  Theoretically, you can find any page in 10 changes of the page number. There are about 560 pages here here now so enter page 280 (half the total)on your first try if the date is not back far enough change the page number to 420 if 420 is too high - go to page 350 if 420 is too low - go to page 490 keep changing the page number by half of the diffence betweeen the numbers, and you SHOULD get where you want to be in 10 goes, instead of clicking the top of the page about 100 times. |

.......... and if he's only playing in 4 day festivals an average per comp means very little. Yes I suppose it does. It would only give him a very high average compared to others. The other thing I hadn’t considered is that a meeting where the average number of runners per race is very low is likely to produce much lower scores than a meeting where the opposite is true. Which would also make average scores a bit meaningless. So I suppose the only way to do it per meeting would be on a % ratings basis. i.e if the winning player’s score is 186, he scores 100 for that meeting and that becomes the benchmark for that meeting. So a player scoring 93 would have a rating of 50 for that meeting. Etc. Performance ratings would then be consistent and average ratings over all the meetings would then mean something. What do you think? If someone would like to email me the spreadsheet with all the results to date, I’ll extract the information and show you what I mean. Very easy to do so it won’t take long. |

spreadsheets with all the results
Only if Chaz has them as n0-one else would. |

For results of each of the comps. so far, you need to go back in the archives.
http://community.betfair.com/chit_chat/go/forum/view/94038/165686/Chit_Chat?pg=??? use this ^^^^^^ to get to the right dates, putting page numbers where the question marks are. 13th February 20th February 27th February 5th/6th March 16th to 19th March 20th March 8th to 10th April 14th/15th April 16th/17th April 23rd/24th April 1st/2nd May 5th to 7th May 12th to 14th May 27th May ^^^ these are the date of the comps. so far this year The result will be on the final day for each comp. and are usually found within 3 days of the comp finishing. Good luck |
