I haven't got as much time as I used to but like others views.
This forum has good pulling power as you can follower tipper and be notified when they tip.
Are we actively trying to get other tippers to this forums? I don't know where good the tippers are and haven't got other racing social media but I always believe 2 heads are better than one.
I still believe in the specialist idea where we all take a type of race and put them together like Voltron or we can all continue as it which hasn't changed much in years.
The lack of Grand national tips was telling today.

I think it was more a place people could come over to after the closing of racecaller... Tipster wise, wouldnt call myself a tipster and would say my selections arent very good at all. I always try to put a disclaimer and say mine are darts. Tipster wise i think people try to monetise on their hardwork...a few can be found on twitte, others are a bit more well known like Daryl Carter etc and post on websites like GG. Co dot uk. Would say there are certainly more lurkers than posters...i only help Bitchy out and try to post daily to keep people interested and coming back, but sometimes if im having a bad run of luck, or busy, i cant always get on and post. Must express thanks to our regular posters such as yourself who may not post every day but checks in now and again. |

Intresting topic. I put the forum together for others to have a place to post there tips, selections or thoughts after the original racecaller forum closed down. Troble with forums is that it dosent matter what you put on there, it dosent matter how many members you have if others dont wont to post there selections ect then you cant make them. I am open to suggestions on what people want to see on the forum. I also want to thank Pindropper for his hard work on running the forum and I cant thank him enough he as never let myself down or anyone else. He said above that he only helps me out with the forum, but in my eyes the forum is his just as much his as its mine and any thing he wants to implement anything then I will back him 100%. As for the guys who post on here I thank them to as without them there would be no forum, So thank you guys Anyway with out waffling on if you have any suggestions then put them down and we can discuss them and see where we go with them Regards Bitchy |

There is about 250+ registered members and on one of the biggest days in racing only 4 got involved in the grandnational thread( You two Admin, Myself and loansharkuk). I refuse to believe less than 20% of members put something on the race, even if it was £1 or got told a whisper about the winner will be. Which is what a forum is about. sharing ideas, hopes or even sharing your favourite media tipsters/friend's bet. With 300+ views on the actual thread also and this level of engagement, I don't see an opening where I can start a Last man standing competition which I used to do on the old site. I don't know what incentive will get people sharing on here but I can see a slow steady decline in the views also.

What do you mean you dont see an opening for a last man standing competiton? As in not enough posters to make it worth while? loansharkuk tried also but its a bit like pulling teeth at times. 'COME ON GUYS, THERE ARE 71 ON LINE..GET YOUR NATIONAL FANCIES ON HERE. WE ALL LOOK FROM DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. GET YOUR FANCY ON HERE NOW.' |

You need about a 40 you lose about 10 everyday and it's supposed to last a week |

Its not tipping its just ur thoughts on who you think will win just same as mine im finding so many so called tipsters who are absolutely shite at picking winners theres a huge difference between someone who has a constant stream of winners and others who might have 1 in 5 winners

Surely everyone is at different stages of their knowledge. It's simple things like not sharing your bets or betting slips that's not being done. If you know anyone with a constant stream of winners, invite them over and see if they think they're better than any of us. |

All I can say is if you want to leave is leave no one is making you stay,Sounds to me as if your asking for sympathy, which unlucky for you as I dont give a shit, and that goes for anyone else to. At the end of the day you cant make others contribute if they dont want to Simples really. |

I like this site as my choosing a horse comes from say the North. I look at other selections from others that come from say the East and West. Look at them to see if any common ground to make me have a bet. I have often put up a horse and then seen someone else put up a different one in the same race and maybe changed my betting after looking at the race differently. A good pro tipster will get the same percentage, on average, as favourite wins..1 in 3... if you can beat that, you are good. At the end of the day it is fun and as long as you break even or not loose too much, this is the place to be.
