FAO Angela - The Bonus System for Settling

From Steve's Rules and Regs:

TOP TIPPING BONUS
The minimum number of selections at any meeting should be 4. Non-Runners count towards minimum selection total but for obvious reasons will not count towards the bonus.
For each separate meeting where 4 or more selections have been made, the following bonus should be applied.

WINNING SELECTIONS
3 winners at one meeting = £50.00
4 winners at one meeting = £100.00
5 winners at one meeting = £250.00
6 winners at one meeting = £500.00 (if more than 6 races)
Through the card = £1000.00 (plus £250.00 for each additional winner)
i.e... 8 race meeting - 8 winners would net £1250.00 bonus.

PLACED SELECTIONS
4 selections finishing in a qualifying place position = £10.00
5 selections finishing in a qualifying place position = £25.00
6 selections finishing in a qualifying place position = £50.00 (if more than 6 races)
Through the card (6 or more races) in a qualifying place position = £250.00

Qualifying place positions are where the bookies pay a place, as per general rules.(I have checked with various bookie websites and these are the standard number of runners for E/W settling)
4 Runners or less = WIN ONLY
5-7 runners = first 2 places.
8 or more runners = first 3 places.
Handicaps with 16 or more runners = first 4 places.

If there is a split and both win and E/W qualify for a bonus (4wins/4 placed. 4/5. 5/4 etc) bonus goes to the win part.

Any clarification needed?

Clear as mud! 


Seriously, what I will do is work out the bonuses next week and check them against what the scorer says and see if they match! 

Okay, Angela, just remember the above tables are for 2015, Clive's settling next week will follow this year's R & R which are on, (wait for it), page 3, 1/3 of the way down of the main Daily Tipster Comp thread! (As unlikely it would seem I'm afraid!)

Quick question - for bonuses, does a winner get included as well as placed horses?  Eg 3 x 2nds and 3rds and 2 winners?  I am presuming not, as we already have winners bonuses, but thought to check...

They are included unless there are enough winners to claim the winners bonus ie 2x 1st and 2x 2nd gives four placed where as 4x 1st you then apply the winner bonus hope this helps

Brilliant!  Thank you!
