NO .............. but i think LRF should still exist but the (10) should be reduced to 3-5 for obvious reasons.
Is it really a fair and democratic vote if posters are allowed to use their 'alter ego' identities (some have more than 2) ? At least one individual on here has enough user names to have his own division ..... very sad. |

Just popped on to have a read and i have to agree with the above poster who makes a very valid point -all a bit of a farce really isnt it
|

By:

Keep LRF

No.

Well done again all you non posters landing a nice 7/2 shot , kinda took the gloss off my 45 minutes of studying and finishing with a 100/30 winner.
 I really am 100% against LRF simply because I don't think anyone should be awarded for not playing but I am for rest days to cover people who find it difficult to post on a Daily Basis whether it's 3, 5 or whatever I am happy to leave that in the good hands of the settlers. |

Rewarded sorry.

im actually swinging round to LRF but they should not prosper from those that actually tip. so keep the rules as they are but LRF odds will be the shortest priced winner of the day.

fraid that wouldnt work - has to be last race to rule out temptation

YES
Of course, YES. Instructions have always been an integral and very important part of this competition, which is after all just a bit of fun. To scrap them would be very foolish and definitely detrimental to the competition. I'm still completely bewildered as to why some players have suddenly started whingeing about instructions after all these years. To my mind, this ill-conceived vote shouldn't even have been considered by the organisers. Let's hope common sense prevails! |

By:
'all these years'...automatically being on LRF has only been default for about 2 maybe 3 years, since being allowed to have 'proper' instructions.
If you don't post you shouldn't win. Where is the sense in having a tipping competition where a napster gets 120 days where they have a horse picked for them (which is what LRF amounts to)/ Let's not forget we all get another 50 days a years off for optinal Sundays. So we have a Naps table wherein a player only has to pick a horse for roughly 50% of the time.......crazy! However, no-one can be around to post every day so there should be a fixed number of days per year (with a limit set per month within this) to allow for this. You score zero on these non-posting days until you exceed your monthly and/or yearly limit then you score -1 for each extra day. |

By:
sorry ... first line should say 'since being allowed 'proper' instructions was stopped'

Reg has the voting closed?
If so what was the count? |
|
By:
you'll get the fin count when Ive found some fin spare time in between settling, running errands and generally doing everything for everywun else, if thats okay
|
|
By:
must say I am seriosuly rethinking my work here after reading some of the bitter, unkind stuff on this and the other thred ... like a school playground
|
|
By:
That`s why I`ve been a little annoyed with this debate Reg.
|
|
By:
If I have posted something that has upset you Reg (I apologise) this would not have been intentional.
|
|
By:
no pete, I wasnt referring to you ... sorry, I'm a bit ratty, had a stressful day ... but the point still stands. This is a free and not too serious competition. Essentially it's just a bit of fun, but you wouldn't think that to read some of the stuff.
|
|
By:
... and I'm getting it in the neck just for wanting to know people's views before coming to a decision. well, I'm terribly sorry for seeking to ask people what they think. Obviously I'm right out of order, won't happen again yer honour.
 |
|
By:
I'll put the results down tomorrow ... I've got more 'doin for others' to attend to
|
|
By:
I truly hope I haven't upset anyone either boys.
I have spent a lot of time reading all the posts, weighing them up and offering my thoughts and reasonings in a clear manner (if not always concise!  ).Not sure you can say that about some of others with their throw away ;cutting' one-line answers Don't remember being offensive at any time but if I was then I am embarrassed about that and apologise 100%. Cheers, Mad. |

& where have you got in the neck Reg ?
Getting all touchy again  |

|
|
By:

By:
The Wizard thingy wasn`t the cause of last night`s problems I might add.
|
|
By:
If I try to send a PM it says, sorry you can`t send a message until you complete the Wizard, who`s the feckin Wizard I ask?
|
|
By:
