THE Royal Ascot Tipster Competition 2014

[MereNovice]

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.

blah almost went for field of donks instead of ayaar at a similar price but I liked how the latter's name sounded out loud more. What the Chinese then to say say when a bet loses in the casino!

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

[willrobrobu]

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?

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.
