Cheltenham Tips Competition - proposals.

[tikay]

On the "Tikay Tips" thread, "bobby1" suggested a "Cheltenham Fessie Tips" competition.

Later, someone suggested that Horneris was best placed to organise or manage this.

I am prepared to donate some small prizes to the winner(s) of this, maybe other betting elders might, too, though I assume they would not be worth as much as the bragging rights.

MereNovice, who is OCD geeky with numbers & spreadsheets, has kindly agreed to create, manage, & Post, Updates as we go along, if all are agreeable to that.

Thoughts, ideas, anyone?

In whatever it is!

Like.

If it's going to be the usual "pick a horse in every race" type competition I have a few suggestions:

1) The four Championship races, CH, CC, WH and GC all count double points.

2) You have one "nap" each day which doubles your score and can be used on a Championship race if so desired.

3) Each bet is either 2 points win or 1 point EW.

PS.

But disagree about the double points for Championship race winner.

6/1 winner of the Foxhunters is just as difficult to find as the 6/1 winner of the Champion Chase.

I was just responding to a suggestion, but I'm happy to butt out, if a tried & trusted thing is already done regularly. I mentioned in my OP that Horneris had been suggested, no argument from me to that. I'm new here, see?

Perhaps double is slightly too much but there should be some kind of bonus for getting the four big race winners.

It is a Cheltenham Festival tipping competition and the festival is built around those races.

If it is built around picking winners and odds aren't included I agree with you.

If it is about betting and using odds, I definitely disagree!

If Brent usually does this, it might be worth awaiting his input, I'm sure he must have a regular method & system.
