Skittle Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 For a 'run' to be recognised and added to the league no prices shorter than 1.01 or 1/100 will be acknowledged. There's no problem with putting them in your bet but if you get to a stage where your numbers are big enough to make it onto the league top 25, those particular bets will not be counted towards your total. harry_rag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might as well pack it in then! Why the sudden change? As far as I'm aware there was a previous suggestion of such a minimum odds rule and it wasn't taken up. Surely there must be runs on the board that fall foul of that rule? Are you going to remove them from the current standings? I must protest in the strongest possible terms! (Fairly half-heartedly if I'm honest, but it does seem odd and a bit arbitrary.) ps - and presumably that rules out laying anything at odds of 101 or more?

Skittle Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 To be honest and to the best of my knowledge there won't be too many that would fall foul of the new ruling. It would be almost like Mission Impossible to check. I do have a copy of my own 442 and will sift through that soon, but I'm sure there won't be many, if any at all. I was thinking along the lines of what has been done above when another regular suggested it to me. I've also run it past the powers that be and it's been 'okayed'. It does apply to the Lays as well. I don't think we would lose any of your entries in the top 25 if we checked back. ? I'm sure you would agree that some bets like 1/500 and Lay @280 are somewhat extreme.

I totally get the logic, it's just the timing that sucks. I checked the rules before I started and they've changed in play (I think I've done 4 or 5 bets that would fall foul of the rule). I didn't cynically target such prices but some of the markets I favour (cards and corners) aren't well covered on Betfair and I just took the bets I liked. Maybe it would be fairer to say "from this point forward" so that bets that were placed when there was no such rule can still be counted but none will be from now on. No doubt it will be much fuss about nothing assuming I crash and burn before I get within sniffing distance of the leaderboard! aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JdsGooner90 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I have just gone through my 1.01 & 1.02 thread which is my best run to date. I count 6 bets at lay odds of 110 & 1 at 120. I don't mind if you reduce my total by 7 but then surely you would have to go through each entry on the leaderboard? I have just come across the thread from ScottyXS back in 2009 - his 350 run - just going over his last 10 bets, 9 of them were at odds less than 1.01 so going by your new rule he would have got nowhere near 350 in a row. I agree that odds of less than say 1/150 are extreme - maybe start a new fresh leaderboard with this rule? aldric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skittle Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 I knew this would be thought provoking. From this point forward................that's the phrase I left out. There will be no going back over any 'runs'. Many thanks for your input gentlemen, much appreciated.

harry_rag Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 “Too easy” or not, it feels like a decent enough achievement to me to have joined that exalted list, let alone to have made it to the top and displaced the Guvnor! Ultimately I’d say the final push (via the SoT market) was part good luck and part the sort of strategic thinking you’re supposed to bring to bear in any competition that involves a leaderboard. By my reckoning there are only 10 individuals on that board and @Skittle occupies an impressive 36% of the places. Let’s see if I’ve really opened Pandora’s Box and ushered in a new age of anyone and everyone firing in 1000+ runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
