blonde poker forum

Been a while since we've ran one of these so thought it'd be a decent idea to get one on the go for Tuesday night's Coronation Cup Final card at Romford. Only £10 entry so lets try and get a bunch on people throwing it in. It's really simple, pick a dog for each race and hope for the best.

Meeting: Romford
Races: 8 (19:11 - 21:08)
Card: http://www.racingpost.com/greyhounds/card.sd#resultDay=2015-01-13&meetingId=11
Entry: £10 - by bank transfer, post in thread or PM for details. ***I have new details***

Rules: Make a trap selection for each of the 8 races and PM them to me. You receive points based on your greyhounds' finishing position in each race. 6pts for 1st, 5pts for 2nd, 4pts for 3rd, 2pts for 4th, 1pt for 5th and zero points for last place.

You are required to NAP one selection, for which you will receive double points, and pick a next best (NB) for which you will receive 1.5x your points. The winner is the person with most points after the final race.

Additional Rules:

If your trap selection is a non-runner, you will be assigned the favourite. If there are joint favourites you will be given the lowest trap number of the favourites.
In the event of a tie at the end of 8 races we will use a countback system where the person with the most winners will win, then 2nds, 3rds etc in case of further ties.

Count me in please, Scott, & thanks for running this.

In pls and bank deets

in please

Bank details sent to all so far. Hopefully get a fair few more interested tomorrow.

In

But I cannot transfer till Wednesday ( unless I have the right details for you) as I don't have my reader with me to set up new payments

No worries mate, will send details and you can ship on Wednesday.

Just as a side issue think we should keep an idea on this if it rolls over again.  Too late to organise a perm now but if it rolls over.

 in and sent

Jackpot seems a good idea as well not to late is it?

Would happily organise to ow if people could give me pointers... Where to get on and what dogs to back etc.

Would only be mad kean though  if we could get the lads from greyhound thread involved with their thoughts!

Argh!!!

I've got new details ripple!

Anyone I can send on stars to as don't have bank transfer set up.

In. Can take stars if any1 needs help sending bank. Screename is dreamfinder.

Nice one Nico, hopefully ex stream can ship to you then. I've sent you bank details.

Prize Booster

I have sent Scott an EXTRA £10.

He is to invest that £10 on any bet he wishes on tonight's Televised card. Single, double, Yankee, whatever.

IF the bet shows a profit......

He returns my £10 stake.

He keeps 50% of the profit, by way of "thank you" for organising this.

And.....

The other 50% of the Profit goes to whoever finishes plum last.

We will call that the......

Marky147 Award




(https://nycpix.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/big-cone.jpg)

Haha, fantastic, and thank you.

Sent selections to follow

Selections sent

thanks scotty for running this

Love that idea. Add an extra £10 to the bet and I will ship £20 tomorrow if your ok with that?

IN please.

Can I transfer £10 over to Tikay* (will be instant bank transfer as know his deets already)?

I will then pm my selections to name in OP.

Cheers.

*if this is ok with you Tikay?

Fine by me Alan, I will send Scott another tenner shortly.

Thank you. I will transfer now then.

Could I do the same and ship £20 to you and then onto Scotty I've tried telephone banking to send the money direct today but I'm fed up of speaking to automated messages and I've given up!

I have your account ending 32 which I could ship my £20 now

OK, I've now sent Scott another £10, on your behalf.

Yes, no prob, I'll send him another another £20 right away.

Spread on time Tikay gets a call from the fraud team at his bank for multiple transactions to the same person

1.15pm- 1.25pm

To recap....

I have sent Scott 3 payments now.

£20 for myself, & The Marky Is An Ice-Cream Award.

£10 for "knottikay"

£20 for Callum, aka "born To Bubble". Callum's additional £10 is for the Marky Award.

Nailed on, 3 payments in 30 minutes!

Go on then I'll have a spin.

Bank details please.

Just wait until I win and have a MASSIVE payment back the other way! With me staking you in Vegas, my bank will be on me like a ton of bricks (or cement).....obv fraud going on then!  ::)

Paid and sent 8 winners. Unlucky lads.

£10 shipped to bank.  gl all. pm'd selections

I'll have a crack at this won't be able to send till I get back from work about 6,please send me back details cheers

I'm prepared to sell my selections for tonight to the highest bidder.

I'm open to bids from anyone.

What am I bid?

Glad I checked this before I sent :D

Cheers, Tikay!

Tenner shipped.

Will send over my selctions once Dennis the Dog, Jimmy the Nipper and Longshot Lenny return my calls.

It feels like Hannibal Lecter inviting me to join him for a meat based dinner.

PM sent. I got some bank deets I need you to confirm.

Great stuff so far guys, 14 in. Pay top 2 or just winner? Views please.

Maybe a few more then top 2?

Sure we can get 20 with a bit more spamming

Happy with top 2 paid myself but obv will go with majority.

I'll send my cash and selections over asap.

Winner takes all and saver for last for me!

In, know nothing about greyhounds other than backing the selections put up in the greyhound thread but Il give it a go.  Can you pm me where to send the money please?

Up to u scotty but I'm happy with winner takes all (20 runners pay 2).

Whatever u want

Wouldn't worry mate, u will be nailed on to win it now.

Have sent to nico/dreamfinder on stars from snort4eva.
Will send selections now.

I think top 2 with 14 is good and jumping to top 3 with 18. Perhaps. But also very happy with winner taking it all.

Will make a decision before the start and announce.

I am not to bothered either way tbh

Bit of fun prize for last is always good as encourages dog newbies/clueless (ie me)

Rcvd. Ill send both ours over in a sec.

Money sent if we can get enough runners pay top 2

Assuming Scott finds a winner, we have a prize for last already, with the Marky Ice Cream Award.

It's actually quite a cunning plan by me to recoup my stake, tbh.

 :)up

Is there an Eso award as well? :)

 
Yeah, guess we could pay  all 20 places.

1st- £120
2nd - £40

Good luck all.

Thank God Marky is in.

That means I have more chance than at least 1 entrant.

The Marky147 award, I'll try and post the bet slip later when I learn to do it on iPad.

£5 trixie

Ilewin Allot @ 6/1

16 of us, 6 selections available, and we can't find a winner between us. :)

nearly had it all wrapped up then!!

fml.........how do you get disqualifed/last in this pls  :D

Now I remember why I changed it to top 3 for points, its a disaster trying to get 4th-6th.

It'll be an admin error to keep this up so I've had to change points to 1st 5pts, 2nd 3pts, 3rd 1pt.

Any objections?

told u sparrow, nailed on!!

arbboy, changed the scoring mate as wasn't getting 4th-6th place fast enough and it would have been an admin nightmare. Mentioned in thread and asked for objections at time. Hope you're cool with that.

Love Evanta

Long way to go yet mate haha, should get my lucky pin out more often!

ok no worries at all.

Yup, great fun.

+1 but flicking in between hoping everton win for some ££

The only disppointment when I win will be that Tal didn't enter.

Feel like he owes me a tenner.

You can't win Keith, I've got this sewn up, and I still have my Nap and NB to come.

Love these normally, too.

Tenner's gone but you can cash out, Camel..?

Great work guys, thanks for taking part. Send me your bank details tikay and a.sparrow, well done guys! I need to check my banking to make sure I've received from everyone.

1st - £120
2nd - £40

Apologies for the failure of the Marky147 bet.

Back in two weeks if everyone is up for it.

We'll done winners.

Is two weeks hall green and the jackpot rollover? Do we know what it's estimated to be? Happy to run a syndicate

Thanks for running this, Scott, really appreciated.

And to everyone who entered, thanks for the money. :)

Well done tikay and thanks for running scotty

Well done chaps!

Cheers for sorting it out, Scotty :)

Obviously we expect you to donate your winnings to blonde somehow  ;D

Lol, never in doubt, wait until the Cheltenham Tipsters Comp starts, Mere will make sure I give the lot back.

Say what?!?

Variance

Just read this... Looked like it was a great night and went to the wire!!

Depending on what im working in 2 weeks ill definitely get involved!!!

Great night last night. Thanks very much to Scotty for running it,  can imagine it can be a bit of a nightmare inbetween race for you. However it certainly made the night a lot more interesting for the rest of us and actually saved me punting on every race as. Was quite happy with the interest on hear. Be great to get it going next time hopefully with more interest.

I'm well up for doing the jackpot rollover, although it must be said I never ever do it. I'll find out the details and put up a thread to garner interest, I know borntobubble has already said he is happy to run it. I'll be back with more info.

This going to happen weekly? Enjoyed it

Dogs aren't on Sky too often but can run it most Sky nights.

Not do a regular night on RPGTV coverage, not as many opens so probably makes it a little tougher. 

As for the results as noticed you struggled last nightt for 6 places, the RP app is normally pretty decent. 

I think 3 is fine. Less admin the better for something like this.

I'm two payments short for this. Anyone forget? Or forget to confirm or something?

I know some of the names associated with the payments so I'll do a process of elimination tomorrow to see who it could be.

Grimmers alert!!!

If it helps with narrowing it down, Scott, I sent £50 in total, in 3 separate payments, being.....

£20 for my entry which included £10 for "The Marky Award"

£10 for "knottikay"

£20 for "BornToBubble" which included £10 for "The Marky Award".

I can also confirm that I received £120 from Scott because I WON


 ;kneelsucker;

Haha, your payments are all good champ.

Narrowed it down to 5 rascals, I'll flick them PMs today.

LIKE

I tried grimming Scotty off the back of this :D

I was busy when all this was going on, and when I saw 'sent for Marky147', I didn't bother paying...

I don't mess around with trixies though, 4 selections min ;)
