New Competition Idea

Hows this for an idea

Each contribute R110 or R220 or R330 etc
Have to select ONE horse every day for a week
competition runs for 2 weeks
each has 1400 units
much spend 100 units per day (win or Eachway) sp or tote (Kimberley included)
ABC keep the difference ie R10 or R20 etc for admin
Winner gets 50%
runner up gets 35%
3rd gets 15%
Failure to bet = - 100

i take it no one agrees

Not a bad idea,easy,but shouldnt overlap the blackpearlbetting competition.

Easy have been discussing with Chris, we are going to run the BPB / Yankee again this month due to timing etc, but we have the go-ahead from BPB to change the format for next month, and will consider the pros and cons, thanks for you input. one worry was the last week? "might" be a problem where a few leaders might be checking other selections and the timing of the posts "could" be a problem, but we hope to investigate all possibilities before we launch.

thanks

Main thing I want to do is keep it free to enter, thats the ethos of the whole site but genuine thanks to anyone and everyone for input and perhaps we can do something a little different for the KZN season.

Cheers

Dont fix whats not broke.

Chris


not all things that are free are good.

many times while out and about people "thrust" free stuff at me i always say no thanks but sometimes they say to me "but its free"

i then reply: " so is AIDS and i dont want that do i"


anyway jokes aside, you have a great platform here and some very loyal followers. I am sure most would be more than willing to do something along these lines.Dude there is also nothing worng with making a few quid here and there.

Scotia so what if people post late as long as its before the race starts who cares but if you are really concerned then all selections have to be in between 12h00 and 12h30 GMT

Evening easy, the point I was making was hypothetically you have 2 chaps well clear and the chap in the lead waits for his only challenger to put a R100 on a horse and he does the same? I might be nit picking, but we just want to explore any eventualities rather than have arguments at the end, and trust me not everybody is as "easy" going as you, and in addition, I have not made a cent from ABC, so try and minimise any drama, and you don't want to see my vodacom account!

thanks again

The Duke won in March coming from another parish, when someone posts their selections is not really a problem. Keep it fun, and keep it free and freshen it up from time to time is the best policy I reckon.

I totally agree Chris.

The only change I'd make is to a 'Lucky 15' with Double the odds for one winner.

Many thanks guys for all your efforts on making this a 'great' and 'free' site!

Kudos - jim.

True Chris, but that was with the yankee, gives a player the chance to win on the last day, and that keeps everyone interested.

My example was based on easy's suggeston to the new format?

but lets keep it on the table, and enjoy another "yankee" month!

on FREE ABC.
