Chief Stipe Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I understand that the pressure of Christmas might be getting to some. Can we call a truce on the sniping please. Just a reminder Thomaas you are tolerated here unlike elsewhere so can you focus on aiming outside this tent (plenty of targets) rather than attacking individuals inside the BOAY camp. That said I consider you fair game when you start espousing your Blue Print (BP) for punting success. I'm considering putting an auto caveat on your posts that says - "BOAY takes no responsibility for readers losing money following the BP. Use at your own risk." Thomaas can you ease up on the labelling please. To qualify as a Nazi on online forums you need to a. own the forum; b. be limited in stature. Barryb doesn't qualify. As for the rest of us can we just chill a bit and have a bit of a yarn and even a laugh. The best thing you can do is ignore those that are irritants. Don't scratch the rash!!! Onwards and Upwards!!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 There is a perfectly adequate blocking function on here. If you don't like someone use it. The thing with certain people is that they thrive on the attention. Starve them of that and they'll wither and die (not literally). Ease up, have a couple of cold ones and enjoy the summer. Life's too short for all this crap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesinator sounds like a plan probably start Te Rapa meet mid Feb going through end of April covering Auckland carnival Sydney carnival Would put a limit on expenditure to a max of 10% of bank each and every week including the last week otherwise the last week will destroy the other 9 weeks as it would turn into a shootout and someone will just place whole balance on one horse ? ? ????? Will be interesting to see the selections ???????? Edited December 20, 2018 by VC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony is that those particular posts have initiated some great posts around different punting techniques. It is up to the reader to sort the Chaff from the Oats. I've rebuked Thomaas for overstepping the line with the Nazi comment. I've also deleted or hidden posts that have overstepped the BOAY rules. One of the downsides of this virtue signalling nanny state that we live in that disables free speech. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'm all for free speech however stupid it may seem to be. We all have a choice about what we read or believe. On the other hand, I hate to think that people might be misled, especially if that ends up costing them money. Whatever, I'd say caveat emptor applies and a bit of diligence on BOAY would well inform anyone about the risks of the BP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I don't usually do comps but might come up with a variant of the BP for this one. My generalised population stats suggest it should produce slightly better results than the BP if applied before the races. It won't have a dog's show against the BP applied after the races though.

Just had to have a niggle at him to poke the bear. Less than a year before Judith Collins is the PM. PS: Hesi I will enter the comp as well if Thomass does & T must post before the races are run.

Doesn't worry me in the slightest, been there done that, doesn't pay to get too precious about things. Pays to think of all the people who will enjoy the comp, and I know there are a few, some not in great health Edited December 21, 2018 by hesi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hesi Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 Someone mentioned that RC might have an edge because of something??? Their edge is well blunted these days, and the only semblance of an edge they may have, is Molloy, and if RC sinks much further, he will desert the ship, that's his style, that's what he does, have you not noticed it. Based on the last 10 days averages of the flagship section, RC Thoroughbred 25 posts/day, BOAY Thoroughbred 80 posts/day..........so it won't be long will it?

hesi Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I hope all you 'pros' enter this comp, there are lots of amateurs that would like to go up against you.
