Hiya everyone, for years now I've hosted a cheltenham comp with my friends and friends, friends.
We put £10 per person and pick 3 horseys a day on each of the 4 days.
All SP, rounded up to the nearest full number. 3/1 =3 points, 1/3 = 1 point. Totalled up at the end of the week for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. If anyone would like to host the comp we could transfer with PayPal etc, me being new and all, and running my own comp if anyone is interested it's great fun.
I'm open to new twists or ideas, just think u guys might enjoy it.
 
All ways been more about boasting rights to be honest but find a little wager keeps it competitive.
 
You scare me a bit, but I'd be interested.

Can you explain the full rules Bob? Is there a winner daily? Winner takes all?

I'm sure I'm not the only mug willing to transfer money to a stranger :very_drunk::highly_amused:
 
Hiya Kev, u can run it if you want I'll transfer to you, read one of your posts and u were in Liverpool cheltenham Thursday, are u Local? Anyway all totalled up at the end of the week 3 places depending on the input. I would prefer if someone else took the lead coz I'm running my own with friends. There normally about 20-25 players in ours. Last time I won was whiteoak in the first mares then go native in the supreme. Haha been a while but love it anyway.
 
I'd be happier with you running it to be fair. Would you let people from here join your current group that do it? (Would increase the pot?) :)

45 mins on a train from Liverpool myself... got a "booth" booked in McCooley's sports bar on Gold Cip day this year (which is also St Paddy's Day) :triumphant: can't wait for that. Should be a fantastic atmosphere.
 
We have all ways kept the picks private so the leader can't have a tactical advantage in the later days but have put a leader board at the end of each day so the picks can be affective. So the designated organiser has to be unbiased, anyway
3 picks a day
All before 1.pm
Including the organiser
All SP
Prices round up to the full number 5/2 is 3 points eg,
1/9 is 1 point eg,
No one ever wins of bankers,
But I'm open to suggestions, just hope it suits everyone.
 
Think it might be no, maybe!!!! ��

Guys, I am happy to assist by collecting everyones selections and not participate in the comp. This way no one can argue if I won.:encouragement:
 
Hiya Kev, was hoping for more interest the comp me an the lads do £20 a man and would prefer to keep it separate as my organisation skills are reaching maximum levels Friday afternoon when I'm in 7 sheets to the wind. We've all been going to Liverpool gold cup day for years. You can get in our comp as I'm looking at mcooleys as well just wondering how far away the bookit's is? Don't mind adding u and a few friends coz if you win I'll have the cash on me.
