No extra for big race of the day?
Total returns are our points? I would have it so if there is no profit from either just score 0 so if you got £499 returns and I got £0 returns tomorrow we would still both have 0!
I don't really fancy anything strongly tomorrow apart from Gregorian.

I think your score should be your points so we can see the reality of how good you are?! Does it run 7 days? I predict you will be -£1200

Why not show us how much better you are then instead of running your mouth?
5 days, Tuesday to Saturday.

Don't take it personally!
i know nothing about the nags. What do you expect your own figure to be, betting £500 a day? I'll predict -£850....

Dunno how you can come up with figures if you know nothing about racing? Go on, pick a few names or something!

They really don't interest me at all mate but i was interested in how you'd expect to get on. I know people make on horses but they are very few compared to the amount that play them. I'd be intrigued to see how you do now you've come up with a decent scoring system... Of course my guesses are only based on limited information - i know you aren't rich so i have predicted you'll lose overall but it seems as though you know a fair bit as well, i don't know what the average punters "average %" is on horses!
when i have played them through tips etc mine is very low!!

For what it's worth I think this is a better system. You can put weighting on your nap(s) and I think it gives more scope for punter insight to shine through.

Why not join in then? I've got £0! I may as well have missed yesterday!

I may do next time, I've left it a bit late now. To be honest I have no valuable insight into the world of racing. So my picks would only be as good as those of a total cluey. In other words, I may as well blindfold myself and stick pins into The Racing Post.
