2010 Cheltenham Tipping Challenge - Final Standings

Might be worth opening a thread now for each day and leave this thread for general discussion.

I'm sure the non-racing fans won't mind the extra threads for the couple of days that's in it and it may leave the totting-up a bit easier.

Good idea

Fair play DH, looking forward to this, will be gutted if at the end of the week I have a load of 'virtual' cash and feck all from my real punting!

Because a lot of people are putting selections up already and given the likeliehood of NRs I think we'll stipulate that if your horse is a non-runner and you haven't selected a reserve then your stake goes on the SP favourite. If there's joint favourites then the stake is divided accordingly.

The only way to handle it DH good man. Looking forward to the cheltenham butterflies on tuesday.

Can you just put up your selections, with your selection then your reserve choice in brackets beside it for every race?

Yep. Just put that stipulation in for those who have already posted their selections without reserves.

Here are the final totals for the tipping challenge. Remember it is the profit (or loss in most cases!) from the original €400 that determines finishing order.

Incredible performance from Homer who wins easy on the bridle.

Winsamsoon ran a very respectable race in second but never looked like troubling the winner.

AZOffaly plugged on for third.

Lucky it was make believe.

Hardy · March 22, 2010, 07:40:06 AM

It wasn't really.

Good man Homer.

Lecale2 · March 22, 2010, 09:41:10 AM

Unfortunately it was far too close to reality.

Homer · March 22, 2010, 09:58:43 AM

Big thanks to Donnelly's Hollow and TacadoirArdMhacha for their effort.

Just 358 days to Cheltenham 2011

Well done to DH and TAM, if only my losses for the week were as low as on this thread I would be a lot happier!

mikasas · March 22, 2010, 10:27:35 AM

The only day I had proper wins was when I was in the pub watching the football and forgot all about the horsies. I made money on here the only day I didn't back in reality! Shocking only two people in profit! Well done DH and TAM on a great job, made the comp a little more interesting!
