Pumps, thanks for knocking up the average scores table on the other fred. Extracting the scores of all those who have taken part in a minimum of 6 comps, the Top 10 is as follows:
93 First and Goal at the One 91 runandskip 78 Jamie 77 Studyform 76 ditchbert 74 French Connection 69 strobe 67 Lux capacitor 66 TheCoat 65 mr winkle Those average figures are since the placepot comp started I believe? curious-cat highlighted the problems though of just taking an average figure per comp when some are only 1 day and others up to 4 days. It gives a distorted picture. So using the ratings method I outlined above (max poss score 100) the Top 10 players for comps this year (minimum 6) is as follows (fractions rounded): 63 Jamie 58 green willow 58 Studyform 57 TheCoat 56 mr winkle 56 Paddy Hair 55 rebel diamond 55 First and Goal at the One 53 wit-ham 52 Sevenone The ratings are very slightly weighted in favour of the number of comps played. The only player affected by the weighting in the Top 10 is FAGATO who would otherwise be in 2nd place. (he's only played in 7 of the 14 so far) I'm sure Jamie will be delighted to see that he's outperforming everyone else so far this year, but it's all quite tight at the top. If anyone's in the slightest bit interested I can post the complete 2010 ratings table later. |

Hasn't affected you mr winkle. Still holding steady in 5th place in the performance ratings after today. One or two other changes though.

Imagine sending a hoss down from Yorky Shyer to Sandown, over 7 furlongs, and it finishes 6th, after being backed from 10s to 5s.
Imagine sending it back a month later, once again over 7 furlongs, and watch it being backed from 5s to 11/4 joint fav, but once again, finishing 6th. Hard to believe the same trainer would send it back a 3rd time in the new season, this time over 10 furlongs, once again,it was nibbled at from 11/2 to 5s and once again, it finished 6th. You wouldn't believe he sent it back a 4th time, this time over a mile, and once again, it was nibbled at, from 5/1 to 9/2, and lo and behold, it finished 6th again. Only a nutter, or somebody with master planm would send it back a 5th time. t But tha is what hyou have in the 1-45, in the form of Jutland, and it's 10/1 now, from a high of 16s. I'm going in.  |

By:
Backed down to 8/1, got as low as 5.8 to win, and it was in the frame at 3.15 for a place.

an example of what can be achieved by noting the inform trainers ......... Do you lay out of form trainers ? I'm sure that somebody on Timeform Radio said that P.Sly had not had a winner for 5 years !!! |

I've done my first ever placepot on betfair
did 3 in the first - had the 40-1 winner and the second [ No Poppy ] 72 x 10p ....... could do with a decent payout. |
|
By:
Do you lay out of form trainers ?
No ... because the day I lay them would be the day they break their sequence tbh I only start laying when I've lost a few squid and my back is against the wall .... I then go scouring the form for horses which are badly drawn or running on the wrong going or the wrong distance ..... or are underpriced it has worked recently but I'm nervy enough to back them back in running if they are running well |
|
By:
No Poppy was om my list - ran on well from the back in a maiden race.
Unfortunately I missed the race. |
|
By:
Went to lay the first and second best in reversed forecasts at Carlisle, as I was putting in the stakes the race went off and I missed it

spent 10 mins trying to post about Lidderdale who had a runner in the 7.10 at Windsor
it tried to make all .... ended up 3rd 6-1. there must have been something in my c p that the new forum didn't like ...... bloody forum |
|
By:
Lidderdale had had 2 winners ( both at 16-1 ) from 5 runners in the last 14 days.
Trains in Hungerford. nearest course Newbury. |

Aftertiming post of the week.
Switched Off in the 4-45 60 in the Win market 11.5 in the Place Market I backed it for a place traded out at 2.78 for 1 and a 1/2 times my stake as it was getting low but I have no pictures - and the radio is a furlong behind real time. IIRC it got as low as 1.54 but was beaten into 4th by half a length.  Horse to keep an eye out for imo SPORTING LIFE ANALYSIS [b]slowly into stride, held up in rear, headway 4f out, not clear run over 2f out, switched right well over 1f out, 40/1 touched stayed on inside final furlong opened 25/1[/b] |

Good evening gents.
Just to let you know; Philo nipped into the pub yesterday and wanted to offer his congratulations to Sea for the Tangerines' promotion. |

Hello Tommy, I saw that Filofax has been in, but wasn't here when he posted.

Hello Mr W.
He wasn't about for long. He nipped down the trap door to Mr N's place before he had to go. I hope he's back soon. |

Wish I had waited a tad longer. I backed Leonid Glow (6-20 race) for a place last night.
Drifted to 3.4 not long after I went to bed. |

People taking odds on now for Leonid Glow

Guess who went to another forum just after 6-00 p.m. where Burt Saddo queried his placepot score ?
Guess who has probably got alzheimers, and answered the query, then forgot about his facking bet in the 6-20. Guess whose horse traded as low as 1.22 before finishing unplaced. And to to top it off, I backed Brazil to win both halves. If I tried to shoot myself I'd probably miss. [smiley:crazy] |

By:
Last time Brazil won the world cup I think they only scored one goal in the first half ofall their world cup games
A bit late I know ! |

I'll do it if you like. What are the wages like ? Do I get extra Betfair points ? Thanks Winkle, I suspect C-C will be able to post some of the updates & running totals at the end as Chaz will send them to him. Any help would be appreciated. Talk more about it nearer the time No extra points though |
