bowles10 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 just shows how quickly this can turn around, woodie banged in a couple of winners in midweek & PL Crewman has gone from top to bottom very quickly although his strategy of having 10-12 bets per day will be a rollercoaster all year no doubt. The main mover is that man RussP who performed so well last year & has hit the top after 4 bets. This doesnt even include the 10/1 winner he had today, so add another 35pts profit at least. I managed a 5/1 winner yesterday but it was only 1 of 7 bets that came in for me. Tipster League - Horse Racing TipsterRecordYield/ROIStrike RateAvg. BackAvg. Lay1.

PL_Crewman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 Well, I'm practically out now :cry..Damn all weather fever got in the way of other things. But the rules does say - If any tipster reaches -200, they will be kept on the site, but possibly unable to post any more tips for the whole year. This is down to admin discretion. Until I get the notice of my rollercoaster being shut down I will keep the number of tips low since the fatal flaw is the amount of all tips per day.

Keep going mate as you showed the last few weeks, you can be up to +100 in profit at any time. email them & see what they say. Dave is quite accommodating.

Received an email back saying rules are rules, 1 hour before & that's it. Thats 2 winners now i have lost & i tried my damnest today to get that bet on in time.

mowgli77 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 A bit of a catch 22 situation, i'd say put the bets up the night before but you have no idea of price or ground and a selection at 9pm tonight on soft might not be a selection at 1pm tomorrow on heavy. Not sure what you can do about it, they won't budge on the hour rule so maybe posting up night before with a disclaimer or something would be accepted such as no bet if under 4-1 or something???

I then put the bets onto Sports Punter & looked at the time & thought i had better hurry. The PC was slow for some reason & i posted at 12.10 exactly 1 hour before the race. Thier response was that it arrived at 12.11 so i miss out. I am sure they can see i have tried my best here to get this on in time & ok its sods law but surely the rule is there to stop people posting near to the times rather than hinder those trying to have an active role in the comp this year. Its only +9.1pts but a winner is a winner. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 Seems very harsh Rob, i agree that rules have to be stuck to and i suppose if they let one go they get accused of all sorts. My problem is the fact that they need 1 hour notice of bets for horse racing, i cant see why? In our comp its only 15 mins and thats fair enough to give others a chance to get on aswell, but you surely dont need an hour. Its like Golf bets, why do you need the bets an hour before the tournament starts? Its a 4 day event and no-one can possibly gain any advantage by posting closer to the off. Have they voided any of your losers? Sods law its just the winning bets! Good luck anyway mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 I've had the same problem in the past also had a bet voided because there wasn't over £250 for it to be backed on betfair there was something like £80 at 22s and it won! which got voided! If that one hour rule wasn't there then I would have a few more bets on there but as it's not I only post one or two up each day. I think something needs to be done on the site to even things out a bit for everyone as at the moment it's nearly impossible to reach the top 2 every month with just racing selections.

Woodie, if there is not enough money in there, surely they should have a rule that it reverts to SP as Racing is one sport where you get a finishing price. Either that or take off betfair from the list to avoid this happening. Seems unfair they void your bet also. Billyhills, i agree mate. If you fancy a golf bet, i assume you have to place at least 1 hour before start of play on that given day. Therefore, you have to place the night before to get it on.

RussP Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Re: Sports Punter 2007 Clearly a lucky streak for me:loon Seriously, I didn't even know that Xpres Maite won on Sunday as I've been struck down with a virus since. Off work and off PL:(. Might need to make an effort now to take some of the monthly prize as I lie in 4th overall! However, I'm away next week (Tue-Thu, last 3 days of the month) with work so prob won't get chance to post. Hope everyone keeps posting and I'm certain we'll have plenty of punters in profit soon enough.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to moan that Horse Racing punters had an advantage as they could pick a 20/1 winner easily but Football/other punters would find it hard to get a 20/1 shot! I was against the rule change but couldnt chnage thier minds.
