BigRaceWinners Cheltenham Festival

Nulty

I'm running the tipping application for Cheltenham. Some of you were involved when it was run during the flat season.

Its free and for the craic. Sign up and make selections each day. Its got loose rules and not taken too seriously.

The first days races will be available after midnight on Sunday/Monday.

Tuesdays card will be up around 4 or 5 tomorrow after the final decs are published. I suggest you get in and sign up for the site and register for the competition as early as possible. The entry closes at 1.10 on Tuesday.

P.S.

Did anyone who is already registered with the site not get an email the other day? I got an error when sending it and don't know if all were delivered successfully. Ta

The site is ready to accept selections for tomorrows card. I advise you leave it as late as you can, if you want, for each race (but not TOO late). We have around 15 in it so far, the more the merrier so sign up for the 4 days of Cheltenham!

Few opinions if I may:

Maybe a few divs in it, have the middle section white, and either side one colour to make it stand out more.
Twitter feed on the "Homepage" maybe, get more people registered onto it if nothing else.
You don't need the date and time under your Login name, they're already on everyones desktop bar anyway.

Its important for horse racing. You need to know how many seconds you have left to make your tip. I find it useful personally.

Glad to have more players! Best of luck folks.

Quick question,

Fruity O Rooney returned 4.66 for a place on betfair, but i got returned 1.24?
Can you explain how does that work please?

Fruity was returned 4.66 (7/2 - 4/1) to place. Take 1 off to give the fractional odds 3.66/1.

Deduct Betfair 5% comission

(3.66 / 100) * 95 = 3.47700 (3.48)

Eachway in the application is 0.5pts eachway for everyone.

3.48 * 0.5 (eachway) = 1.74

1.74 - 0.5 (win) = 1.24

Make sense?

tonic wine

Thank you. I was thinking e/w was a 2pt stake, but that wouldn't make since when i think about it.

Cheers.

Well done to jimbob btw, made a great start.

3 more days to get our "money" back

tomorrows cards will be up soon

Nulty

Cards are up for tomorrow

Nulty

Cards are up for tomorrow. Some small details are missing (jockeys) but will be updated later. You can at least get your selections in early if you want.

Forgot to mention, if you find your horse is a non runner, I'll try get to it as early as I can so you can make a new selection in that race. Batonnier is a N/R so I'll take him out now.

Hi Nulty.

I think you made a mistake calculating my results. Apparently I'm -7??

Nulty

I'll check it out now, I could easily have made a mistake.
