Idiot commentators that have NFI

They're everywhere, tv, radio, in the paper.
Commentators, presenters and reporters that have NFI.
i.e. 5aa sports show when Cornes & Rowe talk anything but footy
..... Rebecca Wilson in the paper, NFI about anything
..... Today on Sky Racing 1. There was a massive Big 6 Jackpot today on Randwick with the 1st leg being won by the 150/1 Rank outsider (the only horse of 14 runners i didn't have). Automatically has blown about 99.5% of investments down the shitter. Black Caviar wins the 2nd leg.
Before the 3rd leg starts the presenter on Sky racing is crapping on about their being about $12,000 of live units from a starting pool of about $2.2 million going onto the 3rd leg and good luck to those still alive.
Then goes onto say that punters that were knocked out in the 1st leg to NOT throw their tickets away bcos there is a consolation divi for 5 out of 6. A lot of punters all of a sudden get a bit of false hope that they may still get a collect whilst the others like me know very well that the consolation is only for picking the FIRST 5 winners and missing out in the 6th.
Just another example of False information being givin out by those in a position that should know better. :oops:
Just announced that there's only about $1900 going into the 4th leg.
looks certain to be another massive jackpot coming up in the near future of about 3 million :shock:

it used to be any 5 of the 6 winners but they found that the consolation dividends were so insignifigant to the punters that they wern't worthwhile eg i might have spent $1,000 and got back $100 for the consolation. Whats the point of that?
So a fair while back, they changed the consolation dividend to having the FIRST FIVE winners only as to increase the consolation dividend.
Yesterdays div was $2,101,765.70 for all 6 winners and the consolation paid $12,046.20.
FWIW i would have had the full divi for 7.5% if Hidden Wonder $16.10 had won the 1st leg instead of My Kingdom of Fife ($181.00 Tatts) beating it by a head. :(
