2020 Melbourne Cup Comp

Postby JK » Mon Nov 02, 2020 8:52 am

That time of the year lads where the JK Cup is up for grabs ... Reminder of details below and entry is free (because all you win is bragging rights lol).

Select ONE runner in all 10 races on Cup day. Points are earned based on the dividend (we’ll use the UBET prices for this). If your horse runs 2nd or 3rd the place div is your score for that race, if it wins you get the win AND place Div combined as your score.

For example, if you select 6. Bella Rosa in the first and it jumps at say $8 and $2.50 .. if it runs 2nd or 3rd you score 2.5 for that race, if it wins you score 8 + 2.5 = 10.5 for that race.

The punter with the highest accumulative score after all 10 races becomes the inaugural SAFooty Cup Day champion and wins the priceless prize of 12 months of bragging rights ;)

For those interested, give us your 10 selections BEFORE the commencement of Race 1 ... Good luck girls and boys!!
