My first post, although more in fun than anything, was rooted in a the belief that the way to win is not to use tipsters work - for many reasons. I imagine tipsters come and go so you learn to rely on them and they dissappear, I doubt they would be giving their best tips away if they were the path to riches, etc. etc. much like the reasons people wouldn't sell a crash hot system.
Like you though, if I could buy some great ratings that guaranteed me winning heaps of cash I'd do that and stuff the challenge.
Looking at Sportz recent post about Tupper being off and Radio tab on today maybe this thread should be dedicated to working out a system to decide which tipsters day it is to win. Let's see the second letter of fRiday is the same as the first letter of Radiotab and tomorrow is sAturday....
I'd better stop now or I'll have to start adding smiles again.

KV!
Spot on KV. Why would they be giving their best tips away?
You know I spend my working days in front of the screen programming silly machines to do things, so you understand that the last thing I want to do in my spare time is to update my database, download results and do ratings.
I would much prefer to have someone send me some numbers and put money on it with the guarantee of making a profit.
Unfortunately that is not the case. I said I am doing OK on my ratings, and I DOOOO!
Why not full time punting then?
Any of you married with Children? have a mortgage? and most importantly, have a wife who does not treat money from the punt as ill begotten gain? Makes no difference how much work I put in to get the selections, it's still gambling as far as she is concerned. One day she will understand that it is not, I'm sure.
Now, I better stop because I don't know what sort of emoticons to add to an outpouring like this.
Good luck
