10pt win Principal Role 2.35d

It says in the rules: "no duplicate selections within teams at any time."

I see that they've both been put in the table as losers so obviously undecided hasn't noticed.

Presumably miscreant man can pick again from the Breeders Cup meeting as the deadline today is 8pm I think?

We could even wildcard for him I reckon if he does not read these posts - the dude is obviously off his head on booze and drugs, it is the weekend after all

You ok doing the wildcard if he doesn't post MOMM?

Probably not. The 8pm deadline is 10 pm here and I'll have gone out long before then.

I'll cover for MM, problem is we are only allowed one WCard anyway and Muff hasn't posted

Do you mean one Wild Card for the whole team or can each player only make one Wild Card selection per week or whatever?

It's not explained very well in the Rules. Just had a look.

guys.....the idea is to spread any wild cards around so that the same player is not always taking them. BUT......if I were the only player around with no others showing in the thread I would have no hesitation putting in wildcards for everyone who is AWOL. Other teams do it, but the comp isn't fair if each team doesn't get to choose eight. Sort them between you two?

that's great - thanks Dessie

MOMM - put one up for Muff - I'll do one for MM - if they post they can over rule us - sound like a plan?

Ok. Sounds good.

I'll go in search of a selection.

Wildcard for Newbies (Miscreant Man) - Dosselmeyer eway 11.00 CDowns

hope it's better than that one above

Wildcard for Muff Fuffler if he doesn't show to make his own selection

Deans Kitten - 20:45 Ch Downs

5 ew

I tuned in this morning expecting to see me a hero with a 20/1 wildcard winner and Ming's ridiculous wildcard selection coming last.
Instead it's the other way round!

Well done miscreant man! Fantastic napping.

Me too MOMM - still, it's lucky I spotted the rule violation in the first place.....

We are now second in the league with a whopping 6 points to find on those eachway thieves..... It feels like we are at Bechers Brook on the second circuit, so much could go right or wrong. Next month an 8 pts to 4 round in our favour would give them something to think about at the elbow. Bring it on!

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dessie from the thieves of clearing up the rules earlier in this and the main thread. Some may think he has turned on his own team mates and is secretly planning their downfall from within, I don't support this kind of thinking as traitor is such a strong word, God forbid this should create some infighting.

it's lucky I spotted the rule violation in the first place

Yes. It's a good job you noticed it. Where would we be without you?


We are now second in the league with a whopping 6 points to find on those eachway thieves

I make it an even whoppinger whopping 14 points to find with the 8 points bonus for the highest overall annual score (assuming they stay in front).
Have I got that bit right?

Shame there's isn't also an 8 point bonus for the highest fortnightly score, which we seem to be holding at the moment.

LOL
Dessie wears a tee-shirt with a dartboard print on it already but carries a heart of gold inside it that we havent broken yet
Nice to see appreciation expressed

A great effort lads long may it continue
not sure where you dug that one from Ming, but pass the spade on when you have finished with it

Thanks Stewpot for your kind words - you are welcome to my spade anytime you want it - my confidence in that beast was matched only by the sheer scale of the stake I placed on it and the amount of faith my teammates have in me.

Yes and this works massively in our favour, when they have a bad week next week or the last we can zoom by with a 33/1 winner.

btw the word whoppinger is just awesome.

In fact we could do with a team huddle to discuss tactics, only by finding the whoppinger winners can we win this outright..... whilst not giving it away at the same time.

Sorry guys for the last couple of weeks. I will be back now as I have just moved into a new property. Looks like we have been doing well!!

im not into huddling males ming , tho dont mind huddling a minge :) well done the weekend lads

hopefully we can hit the right ones this week

ps nice to see you visiting dessie, just like old times

General Ting 325 Wetherby for the Newbies

to win

I am starting to think eway will be no good now - the theieves are flying

I was going to Hennessy in the 1.55 Cheltenham but I'll leave that one alone now I've seen that bosstipper's got the winner.
Then I was going to do Wishfull Thinking in the 2.35, but he's already grabbed the winner of that one too!

That leaves me Dorset Square to win the 3.10.

This could be a good day.

Chelt 2.35 The Giant Bolster 5pts ew for the newbies thanks

3.25 Wetherby - Bocamix 5 e/w for the newbies

Total respect to my team mates for yesterdays performance, top of the table at half way. I opened undecided totals thread this morning fearing the worst as I was unaware of the winners from MOMM and MM. What joy!

183.75  International Newbies                         
123.00  Each Way Thieves   

Defiantly the thieves are acting like the black knight from the Monty Python films and are dying hard. Bring it on!



Moose had his work cut out before the race yesterday as The Giant Bolster apparently fell over a blade of grass while pararading in the paddock

brilliant work from the miscreant and MOMM yesterday and the other lads with there placed efforts, i think ive caught mings luck :( , anyway a 60pt lead going into nxt week, 4 wins and 4 good ews should suffice, i dont normally pick an early selection but im gonna try with a media luz 2.20 chts today, and hopefully add some points to our tally, best of luck thru the week lads

5pts ew a media luz 2.20 chelts for the newbies

Kind of you to say so but I'm not sure that brilliant is the right word in my case as that was my 3rd choice selection. The first two turned out to be crap.
I only left them alone because bosstipper had already made selections in those races.

Just been looking at the points structure. We seem to be six points behind those no-good, low-down, cheating thieves.
Am I right in thinking that if we have another good week and stay in front, and they stay second that all we'll gain on them is 1 point, with just one scoring round left and little chance of getting the 8 point bonus which at the moment they seem destined to get?

If ever a masterplan was needed, it's now!

quote, stewpot from their thread: -
We dont have to win this one, just sit on the tails of Newbies like a black shadow that will be a pleasing result

They are already accepting second place boys - the stake is hovering over their cold black hearts - just needs the hammer..

Moose had his work cut out before the race yesterday as The Giant Bolster apparently fell over a blade of grass while pararading in the paddock

Is pararading a bit like paragliding? A lamentable effort from myself, must do better but at least it got further than Bosses horse today

Great selections yesterday boys

Good luck boys.

Hay 3.40 Tamarinbleu 10pt win for the newbies thanks

10pts win Medirmit 2.10 As

Island Legend - 3.00 Lingfield

10 win

Well done Boss and some inspired yet fateful results from the team as a whole - we were certainly going for the bigger prices today, fair play to the thieves who I think are currently leading after some inspired tipping today and yesterday.

Still have that beast of mine at 620 tonight, thats how desperate we are ....

Racing looks easy in hindsight doesn't it, a Masterminded and Kauto double, the best two chasers of recent times paying 6/1 and 2/1

Yeah, well done Boss. And good luck with yours Ming.

I looked at quite a few bigger priced ones today. Bartley in the 6.50 is one I could make some sort of case for, but chickened out in the end in favour of a shorter priced one that I was certain of!

No rabbit out of the hat today - the filly was well backed and was even eased down at the end..... where she lost 7th to come stone last.

We will need to land one or two monster bets in the final 4 weeks (2x 10 pts win @ 25/1 or a 50/1) to lift this thing I reckon. There is still 8 points up for grabs for the biggest total and if we managed to get that rabbit out of the hat it would break the hearts of those thieves forever.

Load up you arms and get ready to throw those hail marys. Yee ha!

Ming_You_Are_Indeed_Merciless

This should be simple to win.

As I pointed out last week, all we have to do is finish at least 1 point ahead of those thieving thieve thingies over these next two weeks, and by a margin of only £423.03 to get the 8 point bonus. That's lots of winners @ 10/1, 12/1, 16/1, etc. Easy peasy!

They've got no chance!

Too right MOMM.

Captain - Through my periscope I see a ship with sea shantying thieves on deck wearing chastity belts.

Loaded torpedo bay 1 with ..... Al Shababiya - FosLas 1250 for the Newbies - to win

Opened outer doors - firing - the clock is running - tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick,, tick, tick......

No good, it was intended to smash their stern in, 5th at 66/1.

No brown staining observed on their chastity belts.

That was a good effort Ming. Exactly the sort of winner we need. 66/1 was such a mean price too - it was trading at over 300 on here.

10 pts Blake Dean should be a big price

235 Weth

The force is strong with this one...... the bomb is ticking...... good luck!

It was doing nicely - this one also finished 5th at 66/1 but only a mere 12 lengths adrift, good show Malty!

I'm at a wedding this weekend boys. I'm going to leave Planet Of Sound 10pt win in the bigun, hoping for a nice price winner, but wo betide that Bolster thing if it gets round

10pts win the boss 1.30 nb for the newbies bosstipper

10pts win carruthers 3.10 nb for the newbies bally2711

Hmmmm . . .

Tartan De Sarti - 2.05 Newbury

10pts win. Probably be about 12/1

momm - the knockout comp are you in or out?

also miscreant man please let me know by Friday.

Nice winner from Bally.

According to my grade "c" o'level maths we need to better the thieves by 467.16 in the last week of the month. If we assume they'll get 154 like last week then the target is...

621.16

63/1, heck it's only the dividend of the average placepot..... time to dig deep lads, remember the Alamo, Rorkes Drift and the soldiers singing Men of Harlech, the Chilean miners, Torville and Dean's Bolero, show your war faces! f^#$^%$^$ bring it on!!!!!

guess i've gone for 1st outsider Dazzling Valentine 215 Ling should be a value price.

between 11 and 16/1 - the bookies don't know what to make of its chances - gl!

Into battle we go then

San 1.25 Warnes Way 10pt win for the newbies thanks

10pts win star of aragon 1.20 fh for the newbies - bally2711

10pts win star of angels 1.25 san for the newbies bosstipper


best of luck tomorrow lads

2.45 Aintree - Tamarinbleu 10pts win for the muff and newbies

Sir Ike is back on a winning mark in the 920, but he's a short price to what we need at 40/1...... going to need some big results today to steal it - heres hoping!


I'll do some eway doubles with all our selections today.

I'm on the case but struggling.
I can't even find an even money shot I like the look of today, let alone a big outsider!

I see we've gone for two winners in the same race - 1.25 Sandown.
Is this a good plan? Two bites of the cherry or a potentially wasted bet?

Massini Sunset - 3.15 Chep 10pts win


I'm told he ate a hearty breakfast and then had a huge crap.
He feels in excellent spirit and is raring to go.

Lol Man of many moods, hope he does the business again,
to have the championship taken off us on last day two years running really will be Bad news for us
secretly hope you lads get within 10p of us,
you have had a storming finish to the season
best of luck guys

Two were placed at 20/1 or greater today which was a tremendous effort, although bruised and bl00dy we are getting carried out on our shields ......it's time to raise the Italian war flag....

Well we gave going-for-glory a good shot, sacrificing whatever points we could have picked up this week with some shorter priced stuff.

An excellent effort in my opinion. I look forward to next season.

A tremendous season from you guys, played with sporting spirit to the end, great effort

bosstipper appears to be the only one drawn in the top half, which effectively means he's got a very easy run all the way to the final, where one of the remaining 6 of us will have to do battle with him.

lol - very good!

Bit of inside info lads. Get on twm, I'm out on the piss all day friday and may severley clouded judgement on saturday

Wow! piss isn't ****

I'm at Donny on Saturday for the meeting there so won't get much time to study..... not that you were going to be backing me anyhow..

We did well! Everyone through except the boss.

Couple of opportunities for a bit of match fixing in the next round.

Unlucky Boss, that said if the boss was an old dog we would have taken him round the back of the old barn by now with a 12 bore shotgun.

MOMM - I like you, but I must now destroy you......

You're welcome to try!

Be gentle with me....

Who says the boss is out? Am I not up against one of his 'aliases'?

..so we definately get 2 newbies through to the next round... dat's awesome.



I'm missing the team game already

Dear MOMM,

Regarding the KO Cup.

If this was a football match and with the league placings as they are it would be a match between Hartlepoool and Everton..... despite that I'm putting myself in to bat on a sticky wicket first and if that's not enough mixed metaphors here is a clip of your future (below)....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ATC1Qs_KYo

I am charging in to Wagner's "The Ride of the Valkyries"


BRING IT ON!

lol - I wouldn't pay any attention to league placings if I were you.
I rarely do any study and I rarely back any horses to win. I just seem to get lucky sometimes.

Having said that, I'm supremely confident that this will be you by the end of today:

Well done Boss. A real head to head in the last! Now go on and win it

Unlucky MOMM - I know you wanted Carrington as you napped it in the prem.

. . . or it may have just been a cunning plan to make you feel bad in case we were tied going into the last leg, and it won.

Actually I used two second choice selections last week and they both miraculously won, which is how I got through the 1st round. So I can't complain.

Excellent job. I expect you go go all the way now!

You're so cunning I didn't see that coming at all lol. Hope you backed it.

It would have been nice to do battle with one of those thieves but they've been hunted to near extinction... I need to let it go but I can't....

Who's left in? Muff, Ming and Bally I think?

Good luck. Give 'em hell!

Good Luck Ming for next Saturday. Its a pity the newbies couldn't avoid each other.

Excellent work. All 3 through. Very well done.

Thanks and good luck to all, 3 players in the final 8 bodes well for the team winners elect! lol

*strongly resisting the urge to sledge Muff*
