Well I don’t know about you two but I really enjoyed that … I’m up for it next weekend if you want ??
I will score joint rated at half the odds if they are the lowest scoring qualifiers.
Artemis I have taken yours with the most pts + as being the selections. You lose out on Fluff’n’Puff because it’s joint rated so I have halved the SP score. Alex I have just read yours from the top of the list.
I have scored it like thus:
Method 1<br>Top Rated Winners
Dave J = 0 from 4<br>Alex = 1 from 4 LSP +1<br>Artemis = 1 from 4
Alex wins that one.
Method 2<br>Same as champion tipster competition. Full SP awarded as points for any top 3 rated placed.
Dave J = +24<br>Alex = +14<br>Artemis = +21
So I win on that one.
Are you both happy with the scoring method and have I got it right, let me know and I will adjust as required.
Well, played and well done to Alex for getting a winner and well done to me for getting most placed points and well done to Artemis for getting the wooden spoon … just !!<br>:biggrin:
<br>As lookingforawinner says "Well done guy does this prove anything ? "
I set out to prove the worth of biorhythms as matched against the form buff’s, Artemis & Dave.
I rest my case.
Thanks for the fun guys<br>Alex<br>
I don’t think a few races, or maybe a few hundred, will be conclusive proof of anything.<br>I’m not sceptical of biorhythms because I believe that humans’ feelings of wellbeing generally do follow a cyclical pattern, and I see no reason to think the same might not be true for horses.<br>I wouldn’t mind posting again for four races next week, if you are agreeable, Alex, if only to gain a bit more insight into how your selections are arrived at.
Hi
Firstly, Dave I don’t accept your criticism. Why because:
in the four races you selected I note you managed to group your 3 top rated thus 1.55pm 5 selected 2.30pm 4 selected 3.35pm 6 selected & 3.45pm 4 selected = 19 selections
For the same 4 races I had no joint 1sts, 2nds or 3rds therefore a straight 12 selections.
You really cannot fairly do this. Why because by the same argument I could have made all the runners in every race either first, seoncd, or third rated . This would mean a guarantee of points in every race !
Artemis, I also thought this might be good fun to continue, but it seems I have yet again managed to touch a raw nerve with your mate !
HAHAHA……. I think Alexander the Great got you beat there Dave, you slapped leather but fell short, your big iron hadn’t even cleared the holster……. I know sod all about a horses biorythmic periods but I’m all for a bloody good fight, so go on, book me a seat for next Saturday, I wanna see the blood flow…….. give it your best guys but don’t let Matron or that big bugger of a "nurse" Urby catch you, if they do, you’ll certainly find out what they think about rhythm methods, you’ll definitely be required to rub in the ointment when they’ve finished……<br>:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
MrE
:biggrin:
Not meaning to be unfair, I think I did say right through every single post, is this fair, are you happy with this?
Never mind I’ll stick the cards up again next weekend and anyone who wants to have a blast is free to do so.
BTW, Alex I haven’t benefitted at all from jointed rated horses, it was Artemis that lost out a couple of points, or am I reading different results from you lot …
MrE .. get yer specs on … !!!  :biggrin:
Cards for tomorrow … you going to have a bash LFAW ??

Hi Dave,
Only recently seen this thread (been on short hols & had enforced lay off due to comp problems – Grrr) I notice 2 posts ago you said you were posting your top rated but then you have posted 2 or even 3 selections in a race. Are these then joint top rated? If they are I take it they only carry 50% or 33.33% of a full stake each as the case may be, otherwise you’re surely getting 2 or 3 bites at the cherry?
Also whilst the contestants obviously have the right to set the rules and scoring, shouldn’t the winner of a race be more ‘valuable’ than a third place?

Did I read the initial posts correctly – biorhythms ? For predicting horse’s performances ? The same thing Phillips used to include on their C12 mobile to tell you when you’d be happy and when you’d get some ?!
I’m open minded , but this sounds barmy ! And before you say anything Alexander , it’s not a ‘ sado ‘ opinion – it’s an opinion pure and simple.
Biorhythm’s – brings a smile every time. But , in the interest of competition :
1.20 Doncaster
Foreign Affairs<br>La Sylphide
1.50 Doncaster
Glen Innes<br>Bowstring<br>Imperialistic
2.20 Doncaster
Quito<br>Goldeva<br>Ruby Rocket
4.00 Doncaster
Sendintank<br>Master Wells
Number of selections corresponds to places paid in each race.
Biohythms – :biggrin: – there , it still works.
alex
not heard about biorythm,s before,but the bounce theory, i have
bah humbug!! :biggrin:
don 1.20
BIG MOMENT<br>TOP SEED
don 1.50
BOWSTRING<br>I HAD A DREAM<br>MISS LANGKAWI
don 2.20
QUITO<br>RUBY ROCKET<br>MILLYBAA
don 4.00
CONTACT DANCER<br>FLING
<br>Donc 1.20 Foreign Affairs 127, La Sylphide 124, Big Moment 122
Donc 1.50 Bowstring 119, Glen Innes 117, Imperialistic 117
Donc 2.20 Texas gold 137, Quito 132, Ruby Rocket 132
Donc 4.00 Sendintank 113, Trance 110, Fling 106.
Lets see how speed compares:
1.20<br>Big Moment 196<br>Foreign Affairs 156
1.50<br>I Had A Dream 175<br>Honorine 167<br>Bowstring 155
2.20<br>Tom Tun 197<br>Only Time Will Tell 191<br>Halmahera 176
4.00<br>Fling 167<br>Sendintank 165
Snowman … will be scoring these in the order they are written from the top down. The idea being that, because these are ratings and not tips, it is more important to be rating horses that finish in the frame than horses that just win. I reckon it’s a better guage of how the ratings are working.
It worked pretty well last week … :biggrin: .. you joining in ??
