THE Cheltenham Tipster Competition 2014

[MereNovice]

Mine are win only Mere....although I may tweak the algorithm at some point.

Understood.
Always best to keep your options open; these sophisticated algorithms can be tricky things.

[MereNovice]

The entries continue to build.

Just a reminder that there will be a prize for bottom place (but not for 4th place) unless objections are raised.
There is potential for this to get farcical so they'll be no point in crying after the event.

As an indication of the standard that you will have to beat to come bottom, last year after three days of highly competitive tipping Simon Galloway had two entries tied for bottom place with not a single pound returned by any selection.

Be warned.

Top 3 and bottom good with me! Gives me something to aim for!

Ahead of my time.  PLanning the wooden spoon coup before you lot even thought of it.

Entries sent.

What channel is it on and also what time do we have to post entries by tomorrow if someone could post it in Spanish time that would help greatly*

*Not even thinly veiled brag.

Channel Four.

Spain will be CET, so one hour ahead. First race will be 2.30pm your time.

Gracias tal! Think I can get back from the beach for then

Lo sciento:

6. Entries must be sent to me via PM by midday on the day of the races. I will then make everyone's selections available via the spreadsheet by 12:30pm that day. This will hopefully give you time to marvel at each other's selections before the first race starts.

Gracias tal! Think I can get back from the beach for then

So you need to submit your entries by 1pm España time.

[BorntoBubble]

Will have to do it tonight on my way back from the casino.

I know in Spain in a casino with Spanish poker players

There are still seven hours left to register to join in the fun and to enter your selections for day 1.

As you can see we have a field packed full of Blonde superstars ... and tikay.

[tikay]

Hi Mere,

Non-superstar here. Sigh.

I see only two entrants have so far failed to pay, horsey & Adzy.

I've sent notes to them both, I fancy Adzy has just got home from his travels, & may have forgotten, due to jet-lag or whatever. My note to Adzy said I'd pay the £25 on his behalf if he was running late, but of course I can't make his selections for him. I said I'd make a decision (as to whether to pay the £25 on his behalf) by mid-morning if I had not heard back from him by then.  I'm pretty sure he has been away, & may have just forgotten, & will be cross if he misses out.

I have written to horsey, too, but I fear the worst - he has not logged onto blonde for over a week now. I fear his Mum is unwell.

[tikay]

Ha!

Ignore me, Adzy in the thread.

As you were.

[BigAdz]

Even with Jet Lag, the fear of Tikay making your selections gives you that jolt that is needed to swing into action.

Money sent and moody selections sent. GL all.

[Tal]

Worth winning now!

Second best Sweep around
