Tips / Bets The 2017 Cheltenham Festival Betting Competition - Rules and Selections

OK. This year we have guests from Fatjockey Forum and a big welcome to all from not606. The competition will be run on an individual basis but when we have all the entrants finalised it will also be run on a team basis (details to be finalised)

The 2017 Cheltenham Festival Betting Competition Rules.

£1,000 to be staked each day (see below). Stakes will be included in returns. NRs will be void bets but may be replaced up to 5 mins before the race

Single bets only (win and ew or just place). Selections to clearly state the horse's name, race (if multiple entries), stake and type of bet. All bets settled at SP. Dead heats, full odds to full stake. All place bets settled at 1/4 SP odds as follows:
15 or more runners - place bets to 4th place
8 -14 runners - place bets to 3rd place
6-7 runners - place bets to 2nd place
Less than 6 runners – win only

Please post entries below. You may post all your selections in one go or on each day, as convenient. This may be helpful for those attending the Festival. Fatjockey entrants may place selections on their own forum. Good luck all and enjoy the Festival

Please indicate below if you are entering but not included in the list. Thanks

 

Ron I'm in as well-cheers

 

Sorry Ste D. it was you, not Steveo. I've amended that list

 

Ron I'll have a pop for you. Fun way to spend the week without spending the £££

 

I'm in Ron. Fair play mate.

 

Don't forget chaps, entries close tonight. Selections can be made any time up to 5 mins before they run, although it would be appreciated if all selections for the day are in before the first race on that day, if possible.

 

With Hawkeye joining, I now make it:

15 Fatjockey and 21 not606

I think I'll run it as an individual contest but will also the take the 10 best performers from each team to get a team result. Any other ideas?

With this approach we can take late entrants right up to 15 mins before the first race

 

You forgot me Ron?!!!!
