Overall... it’s Ista who is the best judge of a judge. Well done mate.

And overall the bookie (yours truly) finished up from the FJ Forum by ?782.44

Thanks to DG for letting this run alongside his great tipping competition. And thanks to everyone who got involved. It kept me distracted back in December when I wasn’t feeling too good. That in itself is a win. And now here we are two months later. How time flies. It has been an absolute pleasure folks. MOM (George).

Group A:
  • Scooby - 23/10
  • BigChaang - 7/2
  • Joleg - 9/2
  • Aaalowe9 - 9/2
  • The King Pimm - 11/2
  • Fatcatshat - 9/1



Gone for Scooby as a relatively short priced fav here. He’s proven on FJ and is a paid tipster so has to be installed as the clear market fav. Felt abit harsh putting Fatcatshat (definitely the best named poster on the site) as the outsider of the six here but as he’s a new poster with just 16 posts, and therefore unknown on the tipping front, it’s a big ask on debut, to outperform proven quality in Joleg, TheKingPimm, Aaalowe9 and BigChaang - let alone our market leader for Group A. Hence why on a betting format, he’s the outsider here but if course it’s all in good spirit with no offence intended to anyone. Good luck to all.




Gameweek 1 Heats:

Aaalowe9 v Scooby

BigChaang v Joleg

TheKingPimm v FatCatShat
I know this was 5 years ago but I didn’t half have some fun doing this.

Have been thinking for a little while that I will bring it back in the winter with both a betting market (with betting heats, group odds and an outright market to bet on) and the actual comp itself in memory of Diamond Geezer. Would be done across let’s say 6 race days over 3 weeks and then a knockout schedule thereafter for the last 16, quarters, semis and final.

Watch this space.
 
I've laughed loads reading through these comments. Might be my favourite thread ever.

I can't believe FM is outright fav :highly_amused: I'd have done my brains on scooby fav at 1.01 - like Good to Soft :eagerness:


Me being the same price as ryanh97 - I don't even recall seeing a tip from the IT nerd....? --- same price as the mighty Kevloaf? Yorkhill 66/1 a couple of weeks ago didn't live long in the memory?


Seriously though, 9/1 is a horror price for me when Scooby is 8/1. If anyone backs me you're fucking clueless. :barbershop_quartet_member:


Also, I'm going to waste so much time revieiwing this market it'll almost certaintly take away from my actual tipping efforts.

Fantastic, and huge credit to Diamond Geezer and Middle_Of_March as I can't recall anything creating such amazing engagement ever before.
This has chuckled me too.

F**k it.. I will 100% be bringing both competitions back for between December and February. With the actual tipping comp to be starting on the New Years Day card at Cheltenham on January 1st.

Just a note, I have voided bets on the Fish as a goodwill gesture as he only managed to survive two games before his ban.
One last one. That last line has made me chuckle as well. Giving out f**king goodwill gestures for anyone who backed the 125/1 shot who got himself banned two matches into the comp :ROFLMAO:

It’s hardly a shock in hindsight that I would go on to be an odds compiler a few years later is it.
 
This has chuckled me too.

F**k it.. I will 100% be bringing both competitions back for between December and February. With the actual tipping comp to be starting on the New Years Day card at Cheltenham on January 1st.
Fair play @Middle_Of_March. Looking forward to it already. Shame we never got to know who won the DG Cup 2025
 
Absolutely buzzing for this MOM! I hope the fish reappears with a suitable pseudonym in time to take part
