I fully support this recommendation. The more people that refuse to back short priced horses then the better value they will be for me to make excellent profits.
 

I recommend to never bet shorter than 6/4 because its proven difficult to make a profit.  That's just my anecdotal way.

I think the new proposals should keep all types of player happy enough
The punter who goes for the long shot will still scoop the top prize (if successful) The punter who likes to pick shorter priced winners can aim for Cup qualification and the amount of winners prize Those who just miss out still have 2nd, 3rd and 4th money to play for. Those having a weak month will still have the top 25 to aim for, for a place in the Cup. Those on the borderline of Cup qualification will need to play until later in the month which stops the negativity that sometimes creeps in. Those that just miss out on the Cup will get a prize for finishing runners up. This thread has been viewed over 300 times and I guess those who wanted to say something has said something.
 
Thanks for your feedback.
I propose to introduce the new format at the beginning of April, which means the qualification for the Cup will be as normal in March.
From April 1st
Winner : £60
Second : £30
Third : £20
Fourth: £10
Highest Amount of Winners with min £10 Profit : £20
(if level, most profit will win, then S/R)
Cup Winner: £30
Cup Runners Up: £10
Top 25 only to qualify for Cup.
 

Above price should be 13\2 Bet365

the 3 owners group horses i have a share in are as follows
 
My Friend Stan a 3 year old colt being trained by Mark Johnston 
Take Your Time a 5 year old gelding being trained by Paul Nicholls
and Saunton a promising 2 year old colt being trained by Richard Hannon

In my opinion I think that the above is a very good idea but from my reading we will still have a problem with
If I have posted an 80\1 winner on day 2 I can still carry on for 15 days and not post again afterwards and still win the prize. Maybe to stop this, similar to the new proposed SR winner with a min profit,  the overall winner must have a minimum strike rate of 20% or so. This years winners have won with less than 20% strike rate.  If not there is a stewards enquiry and positions reversed or winner alright.
I can say for February I did not post on the last day to insure I qualified for the KO Cup 

Hat trick! Im wins the Honda at 30/1
golf bets 2020 +119.25pts

Thy problem with that was we had two or three people just picking 1/6 shots everyday, do we really want that, does it really add anything to the pot??
I think its a great achievement to pick a 25/1 winner never mind have it as your number 1 bet of the day. Fair play to them.
We could look at changing the prize structure, i'll have a think guys..we could have a prize that involves Profit and performance for sure.

First of all 
Well done to anybody that picks a winner at 25\1 or above.
Have to agree with you @The Equaliser when I see a big price winner my thoughts turn to the KO Cup.
In the KO Cup you rarely see selections in double figure odds.
@MCLARKE even if you picked 2\1 shots and picked 29 winners last month you would have had a profit of £58 and not won the trophy.
Maybe we could come up with something that big price winners and number of winners are both accountable.
Possibility of all your winners in the month are counted as an accumulator and deduct the number of losers you have to give you P/L, just an idea.
A few years ago there was a prize for the most winners in the month and people used turn to that once there was a big price winner

15.05 Doncaster - Ramonex - 1 Pt Win @ 6\1 Bet365

Yes, Its a system based approach using 5 systems, so a 5pt bet would be picked by all those 5 systems, a 4pt bet could be picked by any 4 of the 5 systems, 3pt bets by any 3 from 5 and 2pt bets by any 2 from 5, singles would only be picked once.

Hi Xtc, you've been very unlucky mate. I can't be with you on Paint the Dream today, the Wisdom of the Crowd seems to be against it and I can see that it has drifted considerably on the Exchanges but I wish you luck any way
