The Trainer Column (NOT 606's Own Pricewise)

FD: Long story but basically Joe is Eddievee

 

The Trainer.

 

Joe, the intention wasn't for you to post selections every day (that would be too much pressure as no-one can post winners everyday), just your specials with your comments.

I'm not actually sure about this Pricewise idea. On the one hand it can promote competition and we could get other hot tips being posted as a challenge for the "Pricewise" spot - that could be fun. On the other hand it could cause some resentment amongst those not "promoted" to the "Pricewise" column.

How about we give it a go for a couple of weeks. If it proves not to be a popular idea then I'm sure Joe would be the first to suggest that we revert to the earlier practice.

My main worry is that this could be setting up Joe, or anyone else taking the "Pricewise" spot for some unjust ridicule following a run of losers (it's bound to happen - it happens to all tipsters). Hopefully that won't occur.

To make it more fun, shall we say that anyone who can out tip the current "Pricewise" over a month becomes the next "Pricewise" who then stays there until out tipped over any subsequent monthly period. We would have to define "out tipped".

I won't be scoring for this purpose so we will have to rely on nominations, or I could use the Naps League Table.

Comments welcome.

 

All for one and one for all I say, i see the egos are coming out on here too. Keep up the good work Joe, I for one have no problem with you having a Sticky, however, I want one too

 

Thats what I was thinking earlier on Ron, some people may resent this and thats the last thing I want. I didnt ask for a column or anything, although I really do appreciate the gesture. I will just keep doing what I do and if the Pricewise idea works out, great, if not I will continue posting as normal.

 

Thanks Joe. We have to think of it as fun.

 

Joe: Ron is right though mate, don't feel you have to nominate a selection (s) every day, you'll lose the edge if you do mate

 

You may be right Ron the pricewise idea was hoped to be fun and may have added to the community feel whilst letting everyone have a moment in the spotlight, to see how each of our regulars do it and come to their selections. I can see it may cause a bit of friction which would be a shame as you have really got this forum running much nicer and better than the old one in my opinion. So If it helps just scrap the pricewise idea but give Joe his own sticky. Not a fan of your try and outscore the pricewise at all as will get silly and most likely hinder selectivness, which is something we all strive for.

Well done Joe for joining in the spirit of it, keep it real and you could become a 606 hero with people having pictures of you on the mantle piece and naming children after you. Oh that reminds me i must go and pick little Gallop up from nursery.

 

Blue:

 

You are a genius

 

Make no apologies for this

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Awesome Eddie (Joe), never in doubt, great shout mate

 

Nice one Joe, that one was not for catching cheers

Lets hope my Ex Hannon horse wins later

 

Joe does it again.

The word genius comes to mind.

Well done again!

 

It did'nt see another horse until it got back to the stables.

 

This is just incredible fantastic tipping once again - I am frightened to back once incase I put a curse on you - keep up the fantastic work

 

Awesome mate. Absolutely brilliant. Went for the F/c with Bay as well so big win for me thanks to you.

 

Well done Joe you are on fire

 

The man is awesome

Somewhat justifies a 'sticky' but that is merely my opinion

 

Don: Nice FC mate, glad you took heed

 

Missed the previous ones, but was on this one. Great stuff. Thanks.
