DIVISION 2 SELECTIONS for THURSDAY

Space Telescope - 4.20. Bangor

green future 340 warwick

Adajal - 3:50 Bangor

Thanks momm

In yesterday's write-up I wrote, >flyingbolt moves ever nearer to the podium, gaining another place today to take 6th spot, just 1p ahead of MOB<

Given that the table showed them both to be on the same total of 3.50 with MOB's name ahead of flyingbolt's, you may have thought that comment a bit strange.
Then again, it hasn't exactly been an error-free month with the table so maybe you just thought I'd lost the plot again.
Or maybe it just shows that no-one bothers to read my pearls of wisdom.

Anyway, the table published was from the Excel spreadsheet (which I now have a copy of thanks to Shanelee) and the write-up was done from my own OpenOffice spreadsheet.
There's a basic difference in rounding between the two. 13/8 is 1.625. Excel rounds it down. OpenOffice rounds it up. Hence the 1p discrepancy.

We'll stick with the Excel spreadsheet workings as that's what the other Divisions are all using.

Table to follow shortly.

The battle to avoid relegation has seen a fair bit of action recently with several players making a dash for freedom only to be recaptured and put back in the hole.

30 miscreant man has been making plans to escape recently with a couple of winners but hasn't managed to get over the fence yet.
29 Shanelee escaped a couple of weeks ago and climbed to 23rd.
28 Horny38DD escaped last week and got to 24th.
27 bosstipper made it all the way to 14th from last place in one giant leap.
26 IntheGroove has only had one day in the fresh air, getting to 23rd on Tuesday.
25 age 21 made it 2 in a row yesterday to stay in the sunlight at 25th for the second day running.
24 undecided has been a quivering mass of indecision all month, constantly hovering between 21st and 25th.
23 Ming_The_Merciless has been in and out of jail in the last few days and escapes again with a 2/1 winner.
22 majorupshotbagley is enjoying his 6th day on the outside with the same 2/1 winner.
21 elvissss, who hasn't been higher than 9th, is only 2.52 away from being captured.

That's the bottom third of the table and it's a great battle. Good luck to all of you.

The battle for promotion continues to be hard fought. DFCIRONMAN has surely put the title beyond reach though, following yesterday's excellent 14/1 winner. Fantastic tipping once again.

But there are still 4 other podium places up for grabs:
Winners yesterday for look it's snowing and cannyman help to make the task of the chasing pack that much harder. And MOB jumps back into 5th with a 2/1 winner.
Ashmal and flyingbolt both fail to complete their hattricks and drop away slightly, while unluckyStu has come storming through to take 7th place with an 8/1 winner. Great napstering!
learning thegame was the other winner of the day with a 2/1 shot which puts him within easier reach of those coveted promotion slots.


Best of luck everyone for the final 2 days.

Further to that rounding mystery, it appears that by default both Excel and OpenOffice round up an exact 0.5, 0.05 etc.

The Excel spreadsheet that we use for settling however, rounds up 15/8 but rounds down 11/8 and 13/8.

I can see no immediate explanation for this discrepancy, and it's not something I'll be wasting any more time over.

Ashmal, yes you can change it as long as it's outside the 1hr rule (or at any time if it's a non-runner of course).

If it's less than 1hr to the off though, then it has to stand.
