THE Cheltenham Tipster Competition 2015

[MereNovice]

50? seems like a good target! Will do some spamming!

Good man.
"Promotion" is not my forte.

Im not sure what is now Mere, Tikay OBV does all your spreadsheet work and you are just the "figure head". I do the promotion, not sure whats left for you Mere, unless Tikay actually doesent know the difference between a spreadsheet and a tomato.

I collect the money and pay my bar bills.
It's a crucial part of the operation.

I think I'd better give Hopkin and Evilpie a nudge.

They are both lucky buggers but let's chance it.

Hi Mere,

At the risk of being awkward as hell, can I have one £25 entry (Kitkeeper1) and one £10 entry (Kitkeeper2)?

Hope this is ok, please pm me bank details.

That is absolutely OK.
Not even close to being awkward.

This is Blonde, if you want to be considered awkward, you need to raise your game.

In please for 25. Have messaged for details where send money. Any comp that gives me chance to take money from arbboy is ok with me.

Normally there's a last place prize or have I imagined that Have I missed something said about it?

I'm not sure that a last place prize works very well for this type of competition. All that happens is that people back 3-legged nags in every race when they realise that they are aren't going to win the competition.
I thought that we might have a separate small prize for the best total on the last day to keep the interest up for those that aren't at the front of the field.

I'm willing to change my mind if there's sufficient interest though.

Ah, that makes sense. I remember now it was the dogs competitions.

[typhoon13]

We should be cheering winners not losers

Think the present format works fine. Big chance that person with best Friday total manages to win overall?

I say keep it simple

Whatever you decide, Vince, I'm fine with.

You might be interested to know in 2 recent blonde Quiz/Competitions, I added a small monetary prize for last place, just for a bit of fun & to spice it up.

In one case, it completely ruined the Quiz, with one Entrant deliberately giving daft answers in order to secure the prize for last place. So that ruined that concept.

I'm going to need to borrow Pop's algorithm as a bit out of touch but am IN for £25

Will send to acc ending 468 unless you want it to a different account Mere?
