Wanderlust reacted to harry_rag in Naps - Wednesday 13th March
The irony of someone putting up a 9/2 shot each way while complaining about other people putting up odds on shots is remarkable! The bet would barely break even if it placed.
While I get that it's a contentious subject, any logic that leads to one being opposed to odds on shots would take a similar dim view about marginal place returns being counted as a winner. We'd have to either ban each way bets or stipulate that the minimum return has to be at least double the total stake.
The discussion has been done to death. The conclusion is "if it ain't broke..." and there's insufficient consensus among the grumblers to justify changing things in what is, let's remember, a free competition that no-one is forced to enter if it offends their sensibilities.
As I've said before, wherever there are rules relating to minimum odds/selections etc. some people will operate at the limits of those rules as a perfectly reasonable strategy and other people will complain that it's not fair and suggest the rules should be changed to be more in line with their own approach.
It strikes me as a particularly ill-timed gripe when Mr Clarke is running the Cheltenham comp on top of doing the usual "day job".
Also, a quick look back at the last 3 "Most Winners" comps shows 7 different people occupying a top 3 slot (so not always "the usual suspects") and the lowest ROI was 34.13%. Might as well ask "how much skill does it take to achieve a 34% ROI" in terms of a valid argument. There's no more (or less) validity in carping at short prices than there is in being critical of people putting up huge priced selections in the last couple of days to try and nick the "most profit" prize. You'll never please everyone but I don't think we do too bad a job with the competitions on here.

I had to smile - most times I post an odds on selection it loses - or fails to race, as happened on Saturday. Posting odds on again is something I promise not to do every time I do 😂
