Title: THE US Masters Tipster Competition 2018
Post by: Longines on March 26, 2018, 06:30:26 PM
I am pleased to announce this year's Blonde US Masters Tipster Competition.


The rules are as follows:

1. Entry is open to everyone upon payment of a £25 (or £10) entry fee to me. Payment must be received by me before the event starts. If you are interested, please indicate below.
There will be two pools for this event. One costing £10 and one costing £15. It will not be possible to enter the £15 pool on its own. The same selections will be entered in both pools. The object for this is to try to encourage more people to take part.
If you wish to take part for free, please do so as it will add to the fun. However, note that you will not be eligible for any of the prizes.

1a. You can send the money via bank or Paypal:
Paypal: longinespoker@hotmail.com
Bank Transfer: 40-47-82 34392884

Please put your alias as the reference on the transfer

2. Each entrant will pick one selection in each of the categories below. The selection must either be for a £2 win or a £1 each-way bet. Winnings will be settled on the basis of the prices that I will post in the spreadsheet above by midnight on Tuesday. These prices will be taken from SkyBet or other sites if these markets are not available on SkyBet.
If your selection withdraws before the competition starts, he will be replaced with a "win only" bet on the favourite for that category.

The categories are:

Top US player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-american
Top Great Britain and Ireland player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-gb-and-ireland
Top Continental Europe player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-continental-euro
Top Australian player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-australian
Top Asian player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-asian
Top South African player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-south-african
Top Debutant https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-debutant
Top Senior player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-senior
Top Amateur player https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/top-amateur


3. The organiser reserves the right to substitute other markets if prices for these markets are not available on Tuesday.

4. The place component of an each-way bet will be decided using a fraction of the full odds for a win (as specified by the bookies). The number of places paid in each market and the appropriate fraction will be determined by me when I post the lists on Tuesday and know how many runners there are in each market. Note that the emboldened part is a change in the rules from previous years where I have used a blanket quarter of the full odds for all markets. I hope that it is clear; if not, I will be happy to elaborate.

5. I will be using http://www.masters.com/ for the purpose of deciding the result of each market.
Where golfers achieve an equal score (with the exception of a player who wins the event in a play-off), I will apply dead heat rules.
A player does not have to make the cut to score points. The relative placings of any players who fail to make the cut will be based on their score after two rounds. Any player who makes the cut will place higher than one who does not.

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 10am on Thursday 5th April. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet to which I have provided a link at the top of this post.

7. The winner will be the person who makes most profit (or least loss) over the course of the tournament. Where two (or more) people achieve the same score, I will apply dead heat rules to split the prize money evenly. There will be no tie-break conditions.

8. Each person may enter the competition up to 2 times at a cost of £25 (or £10) per entry.

9. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).

Payouts will be as follows:

1-10 entrants
1st 100%

11-20 entrants
1st 75%
2nd 25%

21-30 entrants
1st  60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

>30 entrants
tba

Final prize allocations will be posted sometime.

Those sub-markets will only go up on the Monday before the tournament as the field will not be finalised until Sunday evening.

Firstly, I do hope Grant is OK. He logged in last evening, so I hope that's the case.

If I read it correctly, from the OP;

The selection must either be for a £2 win or a £1 each-way bet. Winnings will be settled on the basis of the prices that I will post in the spreadsheet above by midnight on Tuesday

It's now Wednesday PM & our entries need to be in by 10am tomorrow (Thursday).

Ahh yes, understood Rich.

Anyway, we seem to be getting there now.

Have to add, Grant is utterly reliable so it's a bit odd, hopefully he's just busy, or maybe spent the weekend with Marky & needs recovery time.

Hi Hutch,

The rules state as stated by Longines say;

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 10am on Thursday 5th April. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet to which I have provided a link at the top of this post.



Hopefully, Longines is OK, & will be Online later this evening to confirm.

How about everyone who's paid their entry send me their selections just in case all is not well with Longines who has been AWOL for a while.

I will send mine to Marky just for transparency but I have no clue about spreadsheets and the like so we will need someone to take over those responsibilities should the need arise.

i paid my money to Grant yesterday

if its ok with everyone we'll wait and see what the situation with him is (hopefully all fine and resolves) before finding a solution if needed which tikay and i would have to discuss.

Ok, please take a look at the sheet here:

https://goo.gl/n8JZpU

Hopefully I have everyone who has submitted tips and will do an update tonight with Round 1 scores. Toying with the idea of tying it to a live leaderboard feed in order to have an in-running league table. Will see if I can be arsed... :)

Please shout if i've mis-copied any of the selections/prices as may need a second pair of eyes. Better to spot any problems now rather than have a stewards at the end.

Best of luck all.

P.S I have no idea who has paid or not etc. Going to have to let someone else work out that part of things

Hi,  sorry I’ve just caught up with the thread. I understand the tourney has started.  I bank transferred him on the third. If I have done it correctly then a snapshot of my picks on the third should be attached

I bank transferred to Grant earlier this week.

I'm sure he has just been caught out with work.

If he hasn't popped back on before the comp finishes, I'll do the payouts, and sort it out with him after if you want.

Excellent work there sir - definitely the host with the most!

I wonder how many people remember why I have this as my alias on here.

Back when Blonde launched it was around the time I finished Uni, and my first job was doing online support for Blue Square Poker. They were on the Tribeca Tables network along with BetVictor (then Victor Chandler) and a big US skin (Golden something??).

This meant I was a visible "host" on the tables and in the lobby area where the players used to mingle for a natter and we used to run quizzes and other random competitions etc. Or cut people off when they dropped by to drop as many F bombs as possible after a bad beat!

As this was one of the main poker forums I used my "work" alias to sign up. Little did I know i'd still be using it 15 years later...

I miss those days a lot, Tribecca was the nuts. You were either Crypyo (lolz nowadays) Ladrbokes or Tribecca back in the day.

walker getting in top 4 yanks would be v good for you, Ralph.  Li having a good one is a disaster for me, as that takes out two of my wins.  My only hope of improvement is Cameron Smith, top oz, who was looking very strong yesterday and then bogied the last two.
