I am pleased to announce this year's Blonde Royal Ascot Tipster Competition.

The rules are as follows:

1. Entry is open to everyone upon payment of a £25 or £10 entry fee to me. I will PM my bank details to everyone who has expressed even a remote interest (see post below). Payment must be received by me before 2pm on Tuesday 17th June. If you are interested, please indicate below or PM me. Each person may enter up to a maximum of two times. Each entry costs £25 or £10.

In a deviation from previous tipster competitions that I have run, there will be two pools for this event. One costing £10 and one costing £15. It will not be possible to enter the £15 pool on its own. The same selections will be entered in both pools. The object for this is to try to encourage more people to take part.

2. The competition will be run over the 30 races from Tuesday 17th June to Saturday 21st June 2013.

3. Each entrant will pick one horse per race. The selection must either be for a £2 win or a £1 each-way bet. Winnings will be settled on the basis of Starting Prices.
If you fail to make a valid selection or select a non-runner it will be counted as a £2 win bet on the SP favourite (lowest racecard number if there are joint/co favourites).
I will take instructions for "random" selections (e.g. first horse alphabetically) for each race if you do not have the time/inclination to make your own selections but, in a rather dictatorial manner, I am not going to allow selections such as "pick the SP favourite for every race" or attempts to circumvent this rule.
If I do not receive your selections by the appointed time on any day I will make a random selection for you. Note that this will be truly random, i.e. not based on the horses prices, names or draws.

4. The place component of an each-way bet will be decided using the following criteria:
1/4 the odds for a place for each horse officially returned on the results for each race on www.gg.com
In the event of only one horse being show in the result on https://gg.com/racing/, all e/w tips will be converted to a "win only" bet.

5. I will be using www.gg.com for the purpose of deciding the result of each race.

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by 2pm on the day of the races. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet by 2:30pm that day.

7. The winner will be the person who makes most profit (or least loss) over the course of the festival.

8. My decision is final in all matters (until proven otherwise).



The payout structure will be as follows:

1-10 entrants
1st 100%

11-20 entrants
1st 75%
2nd 25%

21-30 entrants
1st  60%
2nd 30%
3rd 10%

>30 entrants

I shipped to your bank today, cheers

Received with thanks.
Good luck.

I'll go in for a tenner Mere

...which I will pay on 2xUp's behalf, as I owe him £10 from a Golf Bet.

Will sort it today or tomorrow.

ty tikay

I'm an expert on horse racing, me. After spending nearly one entire minute looking at the form*, I have decided that I shall have the 2nd Fav in every race. In the event of joint 2nd favs, I shall have lowest racecard number.

* That's a lie. I didn't even spend one minute.

Cheers Mere.

Just sent Mere £35 via Bank TX, being......

£10 for DoubleUp. (I owed him £10)

£25 for myself.

Sorry, I'm going to be a lhard-ass and not allow entries based on favourite/2nd favourites etc.
I can't use SP prices because I want to publish selections at the start of the day's racing and even if I used a particular bookmaker it would lead to a bit of ambiguity relating to the time that I took the prices (and basically I can't be arsed).
I'm more than happy to take instructions based on things like racecard number or the alphabetical order of the horse.

Sorry.

£35 received with thanks.

Good luck DoubleUp.

Good work, Glenn, thank you.

have not got a clue about horse racing but willing to flip in £10 for fun...are your account details the same as those you sent for the world cup fantasy football?

Mere will be busy sleeping right now (he's quite old), so I will confirm for him, as time is getting short - yes, his Bank Details are unchanged.

It's probably me but I don't understand. :)

Yes, I was just testing to see if anyone was checking. :D

Quite a spread there.

You paid 4 places in race 1?  Bookies paid 3.  I am sure you list how many places you are paying on each race each way somewhere. 

Only 3 places paid - they are settled as per https://gg.com/racing/today
I cocked up the spreadsheet for the first race but it's corrected now.
I've been a bit distracted watching Camila Giorgi - sorry.

Loving the fact I sat first after two races by picking the highest odd number horse running

Simplicity is the key.

I've been oddly similarly distracted this afternoon - easy mistake to make ;)

Camila Giorgi ...had to google

thanks  :)

That should boost the ratings.

playing Brit #3 tomorrow so should be into the third round at least ;)

Her mother designs her outfits and clearly doesn't like to waste material. ;)

The seasoned pro in front...his claimer behind. Just as it should be pmsl

Must be more problems with the spreadsheet - I'll have to check.

Good attitude.

It's a marathon not a sprint ...
The tortoise and the hare ...
It's never over until it's over ...

Steward's enquiry?

Can you double check Tikay's score please.....I am sure you have given him too many points so far....he never has that many!


;)

I'm sure that there will be a comment at some point about a Piggott-style late run.

Stop your whinging

Highest prime number. That's a ludicrous system. You have to go with something more scientific like mine. "2nd favs always win". When joint 2nd favs, go with the 'toughest' sounding name so 'Big Boxing Bruiser' would beat 'Little Pink Flower'. Simple logic.

Between you, you've covered everything but Zambucca so I've re-mortgaged the house and lumped it all on that.
Good luck.

GG house i'm afraid mate.

Zambucca looks shot.

I got 150/1 - got to be a bargain.

I got it  :)

Far too subtle for me but I got there eventually.

A bit slack not getting off the mark before tikay - there's not many that can say that.

Mere - how many places paying in last 4,5 - obv not six. Think all firms go 5 expect two however 4 obv official, just to avoid a stewards

Which race?
I use gg.com as final arbiter.

I believe that these are the "rules" that are used:

Handicaps of 16 or more runners:  the first four places
Handicaps of 12-15 runners:  the first three places
All other races of 8 or more runners: the first three places
All races of 5, 6 or 7 runners:  the first two places
All races of less than 5 runners: all place stakes will be treated as win stakes.

a good day.

winner and three double digit each ways has me challenging red trousers

so we have all spent £24 so far in theory (12x£2 bets), and only 3 of us are in profit or is my maths wrong?

....and as they approach Tattenham Corner, Piggott, at the rear with a double handful, starts to make his move.

Your maths is not wrong.

It's a familiar tale, sadly; the Blonde massive is just hopeless at tippng!

You're going to need a turbo-charged Piggott to get anywhere  in this - he'd need to imagine that he was being chased by the taxman.

Ye of little faith.

Same system tomorrow please - highest prime number.

Pale Mimosa & Tac De Boistron are non-runners and are replaced by SP favourite as per usual.
Note that I won't always spot the non-runners so please shout out if you think that you have been disadvantaged.

damn i had to go out midday and completely forgot about this!

I had Pale Mimosa each way. Does my replacement horse go EW or on the nose?

If you fail to make a valid selection or select a non-runner it will be counted as a £2 win bet on the SP favourite (lowest racecard number if there are joint/co favourites).

I haven't updated the spreadsheet to reflect this yet; I will do so when the SP favourite is known.

You're doing very well today. :)

Lol done bracelet in every bet today, come on here and I never put it in :(

:(

Sky Bet paid 5 places on the 5pm. I got 5th. I get zero points on this though.


Sigh. Feels like a typical bubble place for me.

Wrangler a NR in next Mere.

Very unlucky.

Thanks.

Unfortunately for those on Wrangler they got Windshear not the winner Elite Army as we use the lower racecard number when there are joint favourites.

Lots of change still to come, I'm sure.

BOOM 6th from bottom. I'll take that!

Only a bit more annoyed as I had Baitha Alga or however u call him typed in at 9/1 for real money version and opening show came, he went 8s so I didn't pUT the bet on :-\

Unlucky.

I made nice steady progress through the field today, everything going exactly to plan.

Friday's selections - highest prime number in each race, please. Each Way.

Obviously - no need to change such a successful formula.

20 e/w
16
9
5
3
4 e/w

I guess that in a five day event, day 4 could be considered "moving day".

Obviously, some of you just need to move 3 houses up the road (as I did as a youngster) whilst some of you are emigrating to America.

14:30 - Bitter Lake
15:05 - Dick Doughtywylie
15:45 - Western Hymn
16:25 - Lucky Kristale
17:00 - Hartnell
17:35 - Excellent Guest

All to win, cheers.

(Unlucky if you've backed any of those ;))

14:30 - sexy legs
15:05 - energizer
15:45 - seagull star

"moving" as in moving house is short for "removing", so your anecdote is inappropriate

#justsaying

It's only "removing" if you work in the "removal" business.
For the people actually changing location, it is "moving".
See definition 3 here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/moving

My "anecdote" is wholly appropriate. :)

#bluffcalled

Did not The corsican get a place in the 5th race? It was a NR but does it not then go on the fav which came 3rd?

think nrs go on as a win bet on sp fave

If you fail to make a valid selection or select a non-runner it will be counted as a £2 win bet on the SP favourite (lowest racecard number if there are joint/co favourites).

I'm impressed that you're checking though - thanks.

Gold star. :)

Oh....ok, sorry...wasnt my horse BTW....just checking up on ya  ::)

I noticed it wasn't your horse which is why I was so impressed with you looking into it.
It's always good to know that people are checking.

Nobody on the winner in the last and three people got places.

Well, you all know what you need to do tomorrow.

Thinking caps on and good luck to you all.

I'm tweaking my Arsenal algorithm as we speak.

Converting to 4-4-2?

Perhaps an attacking 2-3-5 formation might do the trick?

I'm thinking 1-10 with a rush-goalie.

Eat my dust Shalson.

I thought Red-Dog & Karabiner entered this - why are their names not listed in the League Table?

After all due consideration - OVERRULED.

Ahh, ignore my previous, just seen Ralph & Tom's names right at the very bottom.

Pulled Up, I assume.

Timeform Double Squiggle incoming.

BOOM!

Read em and weep Ralph!

I believe that they selflessly decided to devote themselves to salvaging a little of your ego and do the almost impossible by coming below you in the table.
Heroes.

In other news......

Scoop6 club 'next door' have had 4/4 winners and are one of the 110 tickets left still in with the jackpot chance! Sorry to derail thread slightly but Ascot seems less important right now apart from the 5 o'clock where we have got 3 selections.

Wow, wish them luck from me, please. Father Vaigret @ the helm?

Some who are not familiar with the Wragg-Galloway Manoeuvre may think that I have left it too late.

5/5!    16 tickets left!   nervous as hell now.

Awesome!

The very best of luck!

Great stuff, what are we cheering on?  So difficult to win this. 

Is mine none runner in the last? Can I pick another?

Soooooo close! Had Hoof it, Glen Moss and Alben Star. We still got a piece of the placepot. Cheers for all the well wishes.

What a difference one result would of been......

Win Fund: There was 1 correct selection winning £163,696.40
Place Fund: There were 769 correct selections each winning £61.20

I'm in the same boat  :'(

Oh no, was assuming it was the last one at Ascot, wasn't intending a rub.  Well done anyway, got so close.

It has to go on fav surely....otherwise you just pick one big enough price to catch me pmsl

Wasn't a non runner when I picked it. So can I make another valid selection before the off ?

No, sorry.
The rule above still applies.

Ok no worries

.....or leave it to a Mere random one......come on Dollar Bill !!  :D

Hurry up with the results Mere, I'm in Vegas, so can't see the race, & I'm aching to know if I have got up on the line & won this.

Hopefully, I've not misjudged the pace & left it a shade late.

ohh..stays and like g/f....perfect.

COME ON BILL

Very little change as no-one was on the winner in the last.

Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone who took part.

I'll leave it for an hour so that people have time to raise objections and then I will contact the winners for bank details.

Ha ha ha....I'll keep the ice cream tag.  All my picks, maybe except day one ;)

Quick shout out to Mere, as Nick said, so efficient it is frightening, Mere imposes his authority early, clearly explains the rules, stands no nonsense, got the results up promptly after every race (nearly 30 races?), chases the daily selections, &, most importantly, adds a little bit of humour to oil the fun wheels. 

I award him 9/10 for the thread.

Would have been 9.5, or even a perfect 10, but he's so bloody miserable.

Thanks Vince, you are a star.

Congrats to the winners.

Cheers again for organising.

OBJECTION

This , cheers Vince

After careful consideration of all the relevant factors, OVERRULED.

Thanks for all the kind comments and to everyone for taking part in such good spirit.
