Post by: yeo on Monday, March 10, 2008, 10:00:40
We've had on the last couple of years so here we go again.

This year its working like this...

Each day of racing you get 100 pretend Pounds that you must spend.You can bet on every race that day or just lump the lot on one or two horse.Win and Each Way only no accumulaters. Starting price only unless you know of a an outsider thats going to steam in then you can request an early price.

Flammable Ben has kindly agreed to make the winner a special avatar as 1st prize :D

If your being serious it means you get a fraction of the odds if your horse is placed at the finish, as opposed to winning.

Oevil,

Without wishing to complicate things - are we carrying forward balances to the next day or is each day separate and you'll add up the 4 days at the end ?

Ummm the balance will go forward in a league but you can only bet with £100 a day to make it easier for me to work it all out,if you see what I mean.I'll do both the results both daily and ongoing  I expect.The winner is who makes the most over the whole festival though.

Incidently I noticed we are having "Critical Error" problems again this being the 4th time ive typed this.If anyone has any problem getting on with thier picks you can E Mail them to me on [email protected]

Title: TEF Cheltenham Festival Tipster Competion
Post by: Sippo on Monday, March 10, 2008, 15:59:48
Correct me if I'm wrong but E/W bets count as double. So £25 e/w would be £50?

There is a horse called Blythe Knight running in the Champion hurdle today . Just looked at its form it has a 100% place record and is 50/1 as things stand.

This has to be worth a E/w bet surely .
