****Humbugs Team Tipster Thread Feb/Mar 2021****

Right. I'm aware this is not a team of novices so I'm not going to tell you how to pick,except to say that we are here to win this and whilst 1-7 shots might well get us a mid-table finish that is pointless. I'm not forbidding odds-on shots anymore than 50-1s but personally I think in between is the way forward.
Just a couple of things about the rules where they are different from the Naps Comp. Firstly you CAN bet in France as well as GB and Ireland but nowhere else. Secondly there is no 1 hour rule. As long as your selection is posted before the official off-time that is OK.And of course you can bet e/w as well as win only. Up to you,I tend to vary it depending on the race,the price and the situation in the comp.
It is vital we use all 8 selections each week. Normally that will mean one each every week on any day. If you KNOW you will not be available for a whole week please let me know well in advance and I will ask for a volunteer to use the wildcard. In case of problems I am usually around on Saturdays to sort things out if somebody doesn't turn up. Remember that on Saturdays you HAVE to post by 3.00 and if I haven't heard anything by 2.45 I will assume you are AWOL and arrange a wildcard. That all went smoothly last time so hopefully it will this.
OK Humbugs. Let's sock it to 'em in the words of one of my favourite TV shows which Lampus,Norfolk and probably one or two others will remember.

Sorry posy. I was a bit hesitant to go through everything as the rest are old hands. We pick one per week EACH making eight in all. You can pick on any day from Sunday onwards through to Saturday. When the comp starts undecided will put up a selections thread and you put your selection on there. I also ask people to put them on this thread so it's easy to know where we stand. I THINK what I have put in my previous post covers everything else,but don't hesitate to ask if there is still anything you are unclear about. Kick off is not till Sunday so there is plenty of time for you to be clear what you are doing.

A couple of things that did arise last time which it might be worth mentioning. You can pick duplicates as long as it's a member of another team that has picked it first and not one of your own teammates. You CAN pick a different horse in the same race as your teammates,so we can have 2 or 3 goes at the Grand National if anybody really wants to pick in that impenetrable (these days)handicap.

Showing your age Lampus.
I remember my grandfather telling me about a horse called Freddie coming 2nd to the Yank   

I've got a feeling he was genuinely backed down on the day,with money pouring in from the shops. There were still a lot of Freds around then.

Good evening chavvers. Nice of you to pop in     

Hopefully this time we can turn the table on chav and stick it right up him

Good luck posy, we were pretty poor last time but new year, new start

Ready  Steady  Go

kehailaan   17.00 newcastle


Good luck indeed Norfolk;hope the blinkers bring about some improvement.

Ah! We HAVE come to life.
Hoping for a debut winner from posy     

You will get winners all week, its so hard just to pick the right one for the comp.

Just posted the fav in the 4-55 ling, good draw, top jockey, money for it, what can possibly go wrong. !!

Good luck!!

Go Glasgow !

Thanks, shame the price dropped a bit but a winners a winner in any language.

Well done GC

I'm having a go with
Pogue - 3.25 doncaster to win.
I don't normally play handicaps but this looks to have a lot going for it.
