THE Cheltenham Tipster Competition 2013

[Biddy 62]

Well run Vince. Well held on Mtt, nice 3rrd Horsey.

Extraordinary reality check that 85% of us would have done better if we had just said "Favourite".

Better in terms of finishing position, but not in terms of the comp!  It's a bit like an mtt with 9 places paid, altering strategy so that rather than losing a critical flip for a FT stack and coming 15th, you do something else which means you come in 11th.  Better, but no difference.

Enough darts get thrown where someone is going to hit a longshot.  Trying to overtake them while going e/w on Sprinter Sacre might be hard going.  Enough people had the right idea on the final day, if you are 50 pts behind the leader, choosing 4/1 shots in each race guarantees that you don't win the competition.

Thanks for running the comp Mere-great effort, kinda wish i'd sent in late/or not sent in my entry everyday and got the random picks you promised for such entries, I could not have done any worse!

I made 28 random selections during the competition and returned not a single penny.

Not as easy as it sounds, Vince, it somewhat reminds me of Les Dawson playing the piano badly.

Making random selections is as easy as it sounds.

But tough to continually check for inadvertent bias to your RNG...

I had it validated by Alderney GCC.

Stats are on selections made when a big % of the field are trying to shoot for the stars to catch a clear leader at the top, as an example I picked big prices for the comp  in almost all the races yesterday but only had a bet on one of them. If there had been a load of people still in with a chance for the last 2 days the selections of most would  have been different but MTT lived up to his name and destroyed the field with two big priced winners on day 2 so it became going for gold time if you were behind from then.
