BEST of the BETS

Thanks Fuzzy, good luck with yours. It has a good chance and has placed form here from a much higher mark.

I knew I will forget something. Couple more rules.

6. If two or more people are level on points at end of Group stage, then positions will be decided according to profit difference.

7. If a knockout match ends in a draw, then it will be decided by ‘penalties’ the next day. A meeting will be chosen next day to decide the winner.

Good luck everyone, let’s have some fun and hopefully find some winners along the way.

Rules

1. Each tipster will have a mythical stake of £100 to spend on each match day. Aim is to make a bigger profit than your opponent. You have complete freedom about the number of selections or the type of bets you want to place with your £100 stake. All bets will be settled to industry SP, and according to betting rules. Tipster who gets higher returns than their opponent will win the match (exception applies, please see rule 2 below), and earn 3 points. Both tipsters will be awarded 1 point if a match ends in a draw.

2. To win a match, a tipster must get a minimum return of £80 from their £100 stake. If both tipsters in match return less than £80, then match will be a considered a draw. This rule is there to prevent people from betting each way on a short price selection.

3. All selections should ideally be posted on this thread before start of first race of day. This rule will be flexible in that you will still be able to post your selections after first race providing none of your opponents selections has run yet. If you post after one of your opponents selections has run, then your selections will be voided automatically.

4. Non runners will be voided, and stake returned on them. They can only be replaced if none of your or your opponents selections have run yet.

5. Selections can be from any races from UK or Ireland.

I think that’s all the rules, if I think of something else I will add it. If anyone has any questions, please reply to this thread.

The competition will start on Tuesday 7th August, with Final taking place on Friday 17th August.

Each tipster will play in head to head tipping contests against 3 other tipsters in their group. Group matches will take place on 7th, 9th & 11th. Top two from each group will qualify to reach knockout rounds which will consist of quarter finals, semi finals and final.

Set of rules to follow shortly

A little disappointed to be honest that we struggled to even get to 16, but we got close enough to it as 15 people have put their name forward. Thanks to all the people that entered, and I think it’s only fair that we go ahead with it as we are only short by one. I have filled the 16th spot with a placeholder ‘System X’, so if someone else is interested they can take that spot before competition starts on Tuesday, if not then I will put up selections from that slot using a system.

Competition will last just 2 weeks now, 16 players will be divided into groups of 4 with everyone playing matches against others in their group. Top 2 from each group will go through to knock out rounds. I will make the draw shortly, and post it on a new thread along with full set of rules. Thanks again everyone.

12 in so far, need at least 4 more for this format. I will give it till Sunday evening for more people to join. If we don’t get enough, then I will still run a competition for those that have entered but it will probably be with a different format.

Nice winner

Well done

Great results, well done.

Well done Joe

Thanks Rodeo. In the 4:50, Nicklaus (7/1) 3rd, Chai Chai unplaced. But a good day overall as got 3 placed horses in each way treble.

Nice 20/1 winner of Stewards Cup

More place money, Arch Villain finishes 4th. I hope either Nicklaus or Chai Chai or both can place in 4:50 as I have them in each way trebles too, 25/1 & 40/1 placed so far.
