Cheltenham - Mere Tipster Competition?

[tikay]

Mere Novice replied via e-Mail this morning to my question as to whether he should run a Cheltenham Tipster Competition.

I first needed to know if he would do it for us, as he usually does for Cheltenham, Royal Ascot, etc.  However, we have Stakes & Ladders available to us this year, & blonde wants to support them where possible.

Mere is quite happy to do it again, but does not want to tread on the toes of Stakes & Ladders.

His only caveat is that it needs a minumum of TEN Entrants, or is not worth doing.

So, who fancies a Mere Tipster Comp for Cheltenham?

And if yes, how much Entry Fee? £10, £20, more, less?

If there is enough interest, Mere will Post details a week before Cheltenham, which will be next Tuesday.

Feedback, please.

I have been pretty busy of late, so daren't open that Stakes & Ladders thread quite yet for fear of getting myself in bother

I've got a week off for Cheltenham though, so will endeavour to get involved if there is anything nag related then.

someone refer me pls "Acidmouse" and i be in for the £5 version lol.

[Karabiner]

I'm in, and isn't it usually £20/£25?

This is completely different to stakes&ladders as well as being something of a blonde institution, as are merenovices unparalleled spreadsheet skillz.

For reference, when Mere ran this last year, Simon Galloway was plum last, never tipped a single winner, just ahead of the Full Eso Kral, & redarmi (who had TWO Entries) was not far ahead of either.

I think Doobs was 12th, Karabiner 5th, horsey 4th.

I seem to recall I was the winner.

Yes, £20 or £25 suits most Ralph, & yes, it is a bit of a blonde institution.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how Stakes & Ladders works, I'm like marky, I've not dared look yet.

Incidentally, I designed the Spready, Mere just fills in the numbers.
