StuSimmy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Always did wonder if it mattered whether you posted your bets up in "Pts or £'s"? I tend to do a mixture to be honest but I bet small most the time so most my bets I do post up will be 1 PT = £1. Bit of a pointless thread but did wonder why people used Pts instead of £?

Bit of a pointless thread but did wonder why people used Pts instead of £? £'s have no relevance on here or value its points only & then you set your staking plan. I dont reveal mine nor do a lot of others. :ok If we had people on here saying, i had £100 on that, it just gets stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuleBritannia Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Re: "Pts or £'s" My 1pt does equate to a £ figure, as does most but as Bowles says, the £ figures are completely irrelevant on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Re: "Pts or £'s" Pts is the Racing industry language if you like. If I said I had £50 on a horse, you wouldnt know how strongly I fancied it at all, £50 may be loose change it may be a fortune. If I use a scale of Pts, say 1-10 and I said I was backing it to 8pts for example you would have an idea how much it was fancied. If you back in level stakes it doesnt make a lot of difference but it doesnt go down well on a public forum when guys say they are having or had a grand on something, I mean who believes them anyway, whether its true or not? Following on from that, some screen print their accounts to prove their bets but I use photoshop everyday in my line of work and its so easy to make people see what you want them to see. Using pts as a stake takes all that away and doesnt cause any conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuSimmy Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Re: "Pts or £'s" Yeah I was thinking that, I am using £'s in my thread, would others prefer that I changed it to pts as I have no objection to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
