The Equaliser

One Trixie today and a few singles.
1.37 Leic De Barley Basket 5/4
1.52 M/R Arizona Glory 5/4
2.22 M/R Pakies Dream 2/1
One £1.50 Trixie = £6 poss return of £50.63
Other bets:
1.22 M/R Hydroplane £3 win at 11/4
1.15 Win Global Harmony £1.20 win at 5/1
1.37 Leic Agent Valdez £1 win at 11/2
total multiples = £6
Total singles so far = £5.20
====================================================
Should have put my singles in the Trixie, they all won.  Two short priced favourites lost in the Trixie.
I don't need to do it but have had a £3 win bet on Pakies Dream at 9/4 in the 2.22 at M/R 
Total singles bets now £8.20
=============================================================================================
Crazy day where all my side bets won and the strong favourites let me down.  I put an extra £3 on Pakies Dream but unfortunately it fell early in the race.
The multiples lost a bold £6 which means the balance c/fwd is now £598.04 (Bank £800).  The top rated multiples suffered the same fate of a loss of £6 so the deficit now is - £25.65.
Three winning singles at good odds gave me a net profit of £15.93.  Usually one of these horses are generally top rated by either by RPR or Timeform.  The crucial difference is that they don't have to be favourite.  Agent Valdezs wasn't though but more of an insurance bet with a strong trainer/jockey combination This means a c/fwd balance of  £157.61 (£400 Bank)
Four meetings again tomorrow in the UK so plenty to look at

FANTASTIC LADY 5/4 BET365

Hey, you're the guy who told me not to chase losses.  The cap is to prevent me from going over board on my recovery bets.  If I cap them then I limit my liabilities.  Btw I love your selections, always practical' I can't understand why you don't win the most winners comp.  You should do it each and every month ?

Bit annoyed with myself but not been in great form lately so maybe it was a confidence thing too.  Put the selection in the nap of the day, so at least I’m off the mark for the month in that .

Fav (Fireworks) one for next time, was tailed off early on and ended up within a couple of lengths.

another poor day
PS
well done all the winners

I thought I'd got it .....chitra pipped by the fav on the line...nooooo.....ew money ...good try 

I’m sure it will sort. I’d enter but I don’t like looking at horses everyday as it gives me headache, and tires me out. Hard graft at times. 

Saying that if everyone is happy with how it is at the moment then don’t change it. I’ve personally got no problem with it, but it would be better if it was a proper naps competition without the silly odds, that do come in from time to time, but are no way naps .

I think it would help people understand why someone has napped an 80/1. You wouldn’t have to write an essay , but just a few words as to why you have napped it. It might put people off napping these huge outsiders that are picked for the wrong reasons. 

It's good to have a lunch time session as this leaves room for an evening session as well.  One of the benefits of being retired. ?

A few drinks by 2pm !
Steady on, I try and wait till 5 for my first sherry and round the day off about midnight with a nice single malt !

I agree with Trotter that a 12 months comp is too long and quite frankly it would kill the goose that laid the golden egg.  Right now PL has in excess of 100 participants in the nap comp each month.  These comprise of some very good tipsters who quite rightly test out their skill in winning the competition.  
However, I believe that the "most winners" prize is just too low to attract the right number of tipsters in putting up their truly best bets.  Having had a few drinks I am tempted to put up an extra £30 in prize money for the most winners myself to prove the point that PL can only benefit by an increased quality of selections for this purpose.
Send me PL bank details and I will send the money right now/
 
 

I think we've always had a 12 month competition which consisted of adding up the monthly totals of people who'd made a certain amount of posts
Actually there used to be prizes as well ..... not money but bronze horse statues
I've got 3 of them here ! ....... ?
But I don't think a separate 12 month comp would work ....... it's too long a period to maintain interest, particularly if you seem out of contention after a few months. We know that some people stop posting in the monthly comp if they have a few losers at the beginning of the month !
A pretty drastic solution could be to have a rule whereby maximum odds for a selection was, say, 10/1 ...... in which case you're trying to take 'pot luck' out of it but rewarding punters who pick a decent number of winners
It's a tricky one though because I'm sure lots of posters enjoy the thrill of trying to land the big one ...... and that is an integral part of racing and betting
Maybe a separate spin off comp with a 'minimum odds' of 33/1 !
 
 
 

Think you'd have done well to get 10/3, but out to 9/4 with 888 now. If you go to oddschecker and click on the horse name them click 'all history' it shows every price that it's been https://www.oddschecker.com/horse-racing/newcastle/15:10/winner/bet-history/taravara
