Cheltenham Tipsters Competition 2012 - Day 1 (Tuesday)

[Doggie_muz]

It's that time of year again, when the great and good of the TB forum decide to demonstrate their total ignorance of anything horse related. This year will be identical to all other years of this competition - both in its rules and in its shambolic nature.

To demonstrate the shambles, I go on holiday on Thursday night, so someone will have to pick up Friday for me, or I'm more than happy to hand the entire reins back to MK, if he wants it.

The Rules
£1 per race, win only (no each way)
No selection, still £1
Returning sps only, no early birds
Day's tips need to be in before the first race of that day
Poster who returns the most money is crowned as Top Tipster 2012

7 races tomorrow (Tuesday), with the Champion Hurdle being the biggest.

Racecards can generally be found here (or in many other places): http://horses.sportinglife.com/Cheltenham2012/Racecards/

Prior to 13.30 tomorrow, please post selections for the:
13.30
14.05
14.40
15.20
16.00
16.40
17.15

If someone could make this a sticky for a couple of days, that would be great.

Steven 26.12
fcukcov 17.33
Fryatt Fox 14.00

£1 per race, win only (no each way)
No selection, still £1

I'll be ****ed if I'm going down to the bank to exchange €uros just so that I can take part. This is patent discrimination.

Your winnings will be based on the starting price of the horse, not odds that bookies may have given earlier.

I think you will, simply by virtue of there probably being less than 13 entrants!

I meant improving on the -£14.33!

I blame the lack of participants on the organiser...sham...

 

[Doggie_muz]

I meant improving on the -£14.33!

I blame the lack of participants on MK for abandoning his competition

Fair enough - turned his back on it, without even a cursory glance.

We're taking a laissez faire attitude to entry this year. Join whenever you want, but you will still have lost £1 on all prior races and you should submit for all remaining races that day.
