Cheltenham Fantasy Competition 2005

ninebeanrows

4 Days which God never meant us to have ly ahead..

Drunken mornings watching the tipping shows,
Nerve racking afternoons cheering on our fancies
and long nights wasting our winnings over games of poker
and even American Horse Racing!

By Friday what will we have left?

My advice set yourself a reasonable limit that you can afford
be it 1000 or 100,000 ...

Bet sensibly and stick to your horse dont go urging on 5 horses on one race..

I hereby give any soul who enters here 100pts that will last from Tuesday
March 15th to Friday March 18th and can only be placed
on Cheltenham Races..

Some specials such as Doubles Trebles and fourfolds will be accepted
but nothing else..

If anybody wants to organise a prize please contact Chump or me
via PM..

So here is i wishing all Cheltenham Punters a massive Good Luck

The leader Board will be updated every night by one of the members
envolved...

We hope to have all previous players giving it a go through the week
and all new players are more than welcome

Here's who we hope to have with us for Cheltenham and hopefully many more..

Mods if you can give this the nod and keep an eye pop me or Chump a PM

Healio

Well Weathercheck if you havent received my PM, i will do the scores if everyone would like me to.

ninebeanrows

Yes that would be great Healio

Chonaic said he'd help too so we can do the leaderboard
between us 3 or whatever

Also it would be good if a mod or admin could sticky
this one and unsticky the old competition

Looking forward to a good 4 days

MidnightQueen

Well so am i! Best of good luck to everyone who enters!

eirebhoy

I'm in.

chump

well I'm in too...

is 100pts and same style as last comp the best way to do it?

DaBreno

The Fantasy comp was a great idea. I got my Hoss betting fix without having to spend actual money. Result!

Bring on the World Cup of Horse racing!

The jock

Here we go again!!
Bring it on!

A Quick Reminder of the Rules

Attention to Evillive and goin'_to_the_PS and all

Bets must follow the rules laid down in a seperate thread by Chump..

Must Read

A few reminders, only simple bets are accepted, only Each way bets,
to win bets and place bets and doubles are accpeted

No accumalators or any special bets...

Your post must clearly state on seperate lines your bet
and you must start each post with your current balance and
end every post with your closing balance.

Example

Open 100pts

Jim o tee 10pts Win
L Peterson 10pts E/W
Ju Ju 10pts Place

Closing Balance 60pts

This is not meant to be petty or annoying just to make the competition
run smoothly without incidence

Another point with Jimi t's post, the odds for your bets are decided
by the SP's on Paddy Power tomorrow

Isn't it a bit too easy to cheat if we're allowed edit our posts after the races have started?

ninebeanrows

I would hope that all the entrants are honest but just in case we have
Hobart who can see how and when the posts have been edited

It seemed to work out well last time in that sense and usually there's
enough people around to notice these things

Good point though and one to watch out for, although i highly doubt
anyone around here would attempt to cheat

chump

I copy the posts day to day anyways!

But someone has to offer up a prize for this in fairness. I run a competition elsewhere on this forum and I have a monthly prize that I post out to each winner...it doesn't cost much lads.
