Perth Turf Talk announces the Straight 8 Jackpot competition

Perth Turf Talk announces the Straight 8 Jackpot

Perth Turf Talk | Competition | Thu 17 January, 2013

Ever picked the card? The Straight 8?

Now is the time. Perth Turf Talk, thanks to sponsor Betfair, is offering a rolling jackpot of $50 per Metro meeting over the autumn for the first tipster to select the winner in every race in a WA metro meeting.

Whether the card be 7, 8 or 9 races there has never been a better time to play the perfect game.

Each metro meeting that passes without a winner will see a $50 increase to the jackpot. The first to select the card will take all, with the jackpot being deposited into their Betfair account.

There has never been a better time to study your form and to be a Betfair punter.

Tipping will be open every Wednesday & Saturday and the ladder will be updated live after each race with the best tipsters of the round ranked in order. Each tipsters total tipping strike rate over the competition will also be maintained.

In the event that no one is able to select a Straight 8 before April 1 then the prize will go to the tipster with the highest overall strikerate. Please note you must tip in at least 50% of the meetings on offer, running every metro Wednesday & Saturday.

Competition begins officially Australia Day, 26th January. Good luck!

Ok I didn't know that once you nominated your tips you could change them prior to the start of the meeting. You're going to be a stiff though if you're on the verge of tipping the card ( highly unlikely but possible) and your selection is scratched late for wh...

I'm with you Andrew but those who tipped Black Romeo had plenty of time to log back in and change it before the jump of R1 at 1.55pm If it's a late scratching at the barrier then I just can't see how it can operate in any manner other than the sub.

Think that's the wrong way to go about it Chris why should you get what the rest of the mindless herd of TAB punters back rather than your own selection. I think if a selection is scratched you should have the option to select another horse or if you fail to d...

As far as I know, no min deposit, no turnover requirement. They're not a corporate, they're a betting exchange.
