Cannibalizing The Tipping Competition - sink your teeth into this before it closes @ 15:00 GMT!

Cannibalizing The Tipping Competition 

The RaceClubs.com Challenge Series is so highly competitive that for many trainers it is a rite of passage that defines their character and cements their reputation in the community, so you don’t mess with their horses, you don’t tap them on the shoulder for their attention and you don’t dare suggest that another trainer’s horse has a good shot at the title- unless you know both trainers equally well, in which case you feign an inexplicable case of Kuru disease and maintain a low profile during the Challenge Series. 

This isn’t always possible because on RaceClubs.com there are so many fantastic horses available that most of them (okay we said it!) have incredibly close shots at their respective Challenge Series titles, notwithstanding the fact that most trainers are RaceClubs.com are an even tempered amiable bunch that you’re likely to be best friends with everyone but during a Challenge Series your loyalties better be clean-cut otherwise you could easily ruin a friendship. During a Challenge Series your allegiance is just as important as the title in contention. 

This is not one of those times where you put your money where your mouth is; in fact you keep your mouth shut but put your money in the Tipping competition. RaceClubs.com never divulges the details of your entry so you can always blame someone else’s horses if your tipping selection doesn’t net you the biggest pool of cash and bonus credits… and you keep recycling that story to everyone you know who asks you if you tipped any of their horses. 

Only Graz and Sky Castle Stables knows which horses they tipped in 2004 when they shared about $500 and $360 Bonus Credits. To date neither of them have revealed which horses they tipped (as far as we know); while it is unlikely the both tipped the have chosen the same horses they at least got five right. In 2006, Maximas, Aspirin and Debarz split $710.00 Cash and $300.00 Bonus Credits three ways- ironically; they could have each chosen a different horse from each of the Challenge Series and still won. 

Dallas1 enjoyed a lucky streak of winning selections: between 2004 and 2008 he was either predicting the most winners or sharing the pool with another trainer. RaceClubs.com prefers not to disclose if he always tipped his own horses just to confirm that he usually tipped the ones that would win. He once won $860! He’s also shared the prize with enough people to wish he was on death row- including Death Row! 

One of the biggest hauls was in 2004, when Racingslim beat 61 other tipsters to win $920. Now if you can win that kind of money just by entering the Tipping competition you probably don’t need to bother with buying horses, training them, supping them or even logging in to see them. In which case you’re probably not even paying attention to a word you’ve just read. 

You are going to want to pay attention to what happened in the previous season because it is a bit of a brain twister: Shotgun_mike came first, second and third for having one, five and ten correct predictions. He shared the first prize with Sky Castle Stables, who had one entry with ten correct predictions, he shared his third prize with Sky Castle Stables and Victor Consortio who shared four entries with nine correct predictions, followed by a third prize which he shared with Sky Castle Stables, again, because they had three entries with 8 correct predictions. Okay while you work out that matharithmatics on that one … 

Did you know that the more entries there are in the Challenge Series Tipping competition the bigger the prize? And even better than just winning bonus credits you will win the cash? And while you might say you can spot a champion by its first training run we say you should put your money where your mouth is and enter the Challenge Series Tipping Competition!
