Anyone who wishes to take part in the betting masters '56 must “register” (post on this thread) before the end of 18 of June.

Rules are as follows

1 Every player has 200 points to bet with in the first round.

2 Each separate bet made is 10 points meaning players have 20 bets during the first 20 days. Maximum bet on a single game is 10 points, same rule applies for identical multis.

3 In the second round the 4* finalists all start on 0 points, but the winner from the first round will get an additional 10 points (1 bet) to the 150 points that can bet used in the second round. (*if the number of participants get’s to 17 or more, then a 5 finalist place will be added).

4 Betting Masters, first group stages runs from 0000 on the 01 of June (standard UK time) to 2359hrs on Friday 20/06/08. Then the top four* posters come together in a mini league from there on and out June month.
Final bet settlement must occur before 2359 on the 31, May.

5 Naturally the winner is the person with the highest score on July 1.

6 Scoring consists of total winnings and is inclusive of 10 point stake i.e. someone bets on a 6/4 horse and it wins their score becomes 25 (15 points profits plus the 10 pt stake) There is no score for any bets not used. Losing bets are scored as zero, not -10.
Any bet from an exchange bookie will have a 4% commission (on the winnings), if nothing else is explicitly stated in the post.

7 Players must quote where they're getting their prices.

8 Singles and upwards accepted.

9 For boxed multis and bets such as Yankees, each separate bet within the bet counts as separate and will cost 10pts per bet. e.g. ten trebles from five selections will use up 100 points.

10. E/W bets are counted as two bets in the masters, which means 10 points x 2

11. For tracking purposes, players are requested to put the outcome of their bets on the post for all events other than European soccer/tennis.

12. Where possible players are requested to put down a running total of their bets in their posts, although I'll also try and produce rolling league tables where possible.

13. After a bet has been posted up, one is not allowed to edit it..

14. The bets must be possible to do in real life, meaning for example that if you got a multi, all the odds have to come from 1 bookmaker. You can’t shop around for the highest odds and put them together. "Special promotion" type bets are not allowed

Having put this bet on I thought I may have made a mistake as I wasn't sure about her getting past Venus, but since I put it on she has lost all idea of how to play tennis, she won the first set 6-1 and was 5-1 up in the second which she has just lost in a tiebreak, can't see her winning this match at all now :moo:

Double B0ll0cks
Just realised it is Allenby playing these two and Appelby is playing Snedeker and Oberholser. Can I have a ruiling please Finbar :moo:
Happy to have the bet on either Allenby or Appelby against their playing partners

[Finbar]

Bit confused

Are the two bets possible in real life? (irrespective of who they're playing with)

If no then bets void and you have to take them back, if they are possible in real life then bets stand

[StuNick]

Basically the two bets below are possible

Allenby to beat Rollins and JJ Henry at 2.1
Appleby to beat Oberholser and Snedeker at 2.5

The one I put was Appelby to beat Rollins and JJ Henry which isn't possible

[Finbar]

Than thanks to your idiocy you can withdraw and put up a new one at the better odds, if it wins and you end up beating my by 3pts I shall not be happy!

[StuNick]

I tell you what, why don't I do this

Bet 6
Allenby to beat Rollins and JJ Henry at 2.1

Bet 7
Appleby to beat Oberholser and Snedeker at 2.5

Both with VCBet

[Finbar]

Here are the scores, hope the formatting is legible

1. Funk Butter 136.09 - 5 (8 in play)
2. No1Fan 120 - 9

Can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo this month. Maybe one of the golf bets will oblige. McGinley played brilliantly yesterday until two bad shots at the last two holes cost him 3 shots. He is back on an even keel today, whilst Appleby started soundly in the PGA event.

Are you trying to say i had some kind of inside information? I've backed it in real life at the 5/1 :)

[NO1FAN]

In all seriousness if you enforce a rule 4 i'll never play this stupid masters again blah blah blah whinge whinge whinge :grrr:

[Finbar]

Huh? But you'll be paying it on your real life bet!

Rule 4 has to be there otherwise if someone got wind of a withdrawl (it was no secret Darjina was likely to be pulled out) of a 1/10 favourite then you could back the rest of the field knowing you had a good chance of an amazing price

Am sure you'll pay rule 4 on your winning bet, if you don't in real life then of course you shouldn't on here. Betting on the day is not the same as ante post though, had you backed Darjina today you would get your money back and under those circumstances rule 4 has to apply.

That sound fair?

[NO1FAN]

It should only be 10p though as far as i know, and my meaning of backing it in real life was 5/1 - 10p rule is better than the 3/1 currently being offered.

[NO1FAN]

Oh and after all this talk i know its not going to win now :(

[Finbar]

Would be more than that as depends on the price of the withdrawn horse, not of yours.

Anyway was just me being lazy and not wanting to have to find out how much it is, anyway we'll settle it exactly as it's settled in real life as thankfully you have done it in real life so nothing to worry about :p

Count yourself lucky, I backed Finsceal Beo at 6.8 this morning, 27% deduction on Betfair and it went out to 10.5 just now (so I rebacked it) without Darjina :grrr:

[NO1FAN]

27% :eek:

[Finbar]

Well Darjina was 9/4 in the paper which is a 30p deduction... (no idea what time it was at time of withdrawl though)

Deduction rates here
http://www.new2freebets.co.uk/page5.htm

[Gooders]

If you do a bet on here and take a good price and then there's a rule 4 deduction you have to suffer the same on here.

[Finbar]

Mine must have missed the break totally, price went out to 25.0 straight away

Holyrood in the next, also taking a walk in the market, sigh...

[NO1FAN]

I knew after all the discussion it wouldn't win :o

Ah, my bad.

Last time Stig did the table which showed how everyone had done since the comp started I was about half-way. Since then I've been mostly dreadful so I'll probably be much nearer the bottom now - but still above 99steak and purewinners. :)

I've never won it though. :(

[pauldrulez]

purewinners. a legend in every right :D

I was about 1/3 of the way up last time because I normally get high totals in the first round. Then get nothing in the next round.

I've missed something here - does that really come to 168.75?

[pauldrulez]

It was a running double like you normally do.

[DedBallSpeshlst]

I understood that, the problem was my inability to multiply fractional odds properly

[DedBallSpeshlst]

FYI though, the running doubles I do are an actual bet available in Aus with their own pool, rather than just a multiple of the odds

[pauldrulez]

Mine are just doubles of Starting Price each way on their way down the card.

I just used the WillHill bet calculator to work it out, much easier than multiplication ;)

So how was it Stig?

[Stigma]

Well Cuba is a ”complicated” place. The trip had it’s up’s and down’s.
With regards to my Cuban girlfriend..dunno. Have to do some serious thinking about it all.
It’s complicated; language problems, age-difference, she being from Cuba. We still don’t know enough about each-other (I feel).
She’s like ready for marriage/kids..you name it..

So..might invite her to Norway for a couple of weeks later this year. Things permitting. Maybe..
Any new big stories on here??

[Stigma]

Btw, how should we do the Olympic competiton?

One round, league table kind of thingy, or groups, rounds, head to heads? Or?

League table probably the best option? For example 30 bets (3 weeks), 5 on "your" nation.
How about long-term bets?

The nation part (like we did for the the EC/WC). Would be complicated if someone got our commen favorites Turkmenistan and another for example got the United Kingdom. As they have loads more to bet on.
I guess one way is to choose the biggest 16 (or whatever) nations and give them to to people.

Thoughts people..

Interesting example - did you know that in 2004 (not so) Great Britain only won 9 more gold medals than Turkmenistan?

[DedBallSpeshlst]

I think we should draw from the top 16 (or however many) nations from 2004

[DedBallSpeshlst]

Except for Finbar - he should get Turkmenistan

Need to find a couple of 20/1 golfers over the next day or so to put up here

240pts should be plenty enough to qualify I reckon (especially with Stig aiming for 220pts)

hmm..did Turkmenistan actually win anything? Or did the UK only win 9 gold medals??

LOL, great question!!

Though I suspect the Turkmanistanis are good at weightlifiting (possible unfair stereotype)

Turkmenistan has competed in 3 Summer Olympics, first appearing in 1996. They have never competed in the Winter Olympics. Turkmen athletes previously competed with the Soviet Union team or, in 1992, as part of the Unified Team. No athlete representing Turkmenistan has won an Olympic medal.

The last time an athlete from the nation won a medal was at the 1964 Games when a Turkmen kayaker was part of the champion Soviet team.
