29sep11 one more

Improved again 8 winners from 33 bets today. Best was Tom Collins with a 9-1 winner to lift him into the cash +5.17 and 7th place. Wayne Morton consolidated in 5th with a 4-1 winner and a double.

Plate the leaders, Stuart Bentham and Alan Mabb both had 3 point winners so unchanged at the top.

England to win by 16-20 points 11-2, France to lose in QF is 4-5, Wales to lose in SF is 16-5 and England v NZ final is 3-1 that is 195.5 -1 Of course you can't actually place that bet because the results are linked. So first bet has just been placed at 11-2 for £60 I will have to do the bet as we go so if this wins it is £390 to win on England to beat France by 6-10 points expect that to be about the same price

28sep11 much better

Well that's a bit more like it 7 winners from 30 bets with John Collins 7-1 and Wayne Morton 9-1 and the others were mostly 2-1 & 7-2 so as a bunch we actually made a profit today!

Mark Kelly closed the gap a little in 2nd on Kevin Dighton, the leader, and is now just 14.61 behind, Wayne Morton moved into the money on +5.88 and 6th place, John Collins moves to +2.00 and 12th.

Not much change in the plate Stuart Bentham remains 13 points clear of Alan Mabb with Howard Kelly now a clear 3rd on 28 points after recording his 3 winner in 4 days , he is 1 behind Alan Mabb.

27sep11 Tevez!

What a spoilt child

Back to the big league - 34 bets 5 winners all the usual culprits and all short priced so no real changes in main comp

Stuart extends his lead to 42 points 13 clear of 2nd still has 100% record for selections finishing in the first 4

England 31 Scotland 13, then England 19 France 10, then England 28 Wales 21, then all to NZ for the final - what price the above?

26sep11 urrgh!

All quiet 2 winners from 25 bets Justin Sercombe 9-4 and Robert Baker 11-4

25sep11 slow

Only 21 bets today with 5 winners Kevin Dighton scored again with a 15-8 winner, other winners were Pat Quinn Snr, James Foley, Dave Palmer & Howard Kelly. So Kevin Dighton's lead stretches to 17.61

In the plate there was no change at the top

Excel will be sent later - if you can't open it and need an old 2007 excel version email Vince Paige he is also miles behind on the technology front as well!

24sep11 oh no!

What odds would I have got that Kevin Dighton & Vince Paige would be leading the comp by Saturday night - but that's what has happened Vince Paige with a 20-1 winner and Kevin Dighton got the winner of the Cambridgeshire at 40-1. Unfortunately for him the maximum odds rule applies so he only gets 33-1 - well I say only!! Other winners were Dave Kingsbury 5-1, and James Foley 9-4.

So obviously big changes at the top Kevin Dighton leads on +29.73 with Vince Paige and Mark Kelly in joint 2nd +14.00, with Alan Mabb just 59p behind them on +13.41.

In the plate Stuart Bentham leads on 32, Alan Mabb 2nd 29, and Dave Kingsbury 3rd on 19.

Use comments function and let us have the story of the bets guys

23sep11 double

Thursday and Friday update:

Thursday 4 winners from 38 bets

Friday 9 winners from 36 bets

No massive odds best was 11-2 for Michael Brook to push him up to only 50p down. Maurice Edgington (me) was the only person to have two winners and that pushes me to 11th rather annoyingly still one place behind Peter Long (or is that Pete/Vince combo - what an unpleasant thought, sorry Pete). Mark Kelly retains the main comp yellow jersey but only 59p ahead of Alan Mabb in 2nd, Jed Parramore is 3rd 5.00 behind the leader.

In the plate Stuart Bentham has nudged into 1st place on 30 points, he is now 5 winners from 9 selections Alan Mabb is 2nd on 29.

GOOGLE

Hi

Just in case any of you readers are wondering why I type everyone's full name it is so that when anyone Googles your name they will come across you in this blog - check it out sometimes this blog has first position!!

21sep11 England

6 winners from 38 bets, Alan Mabb keeps up his good start with another winner, his 3rd, 7-2 and moves into 3rd in the main comp just 5.59 behind Mark Kelly. Jed Parramore sits 2nd between them.

So of course Alan Mabb also remains top of the plate on 24 points 5 clear of Stuart but he has had 2 more bets.

Well I was shocked, team of Rugby lads going out and having a drink - who either gives a shit or didn't think they were doing that anyway, just smash through Scotland and we will be happy even if they are playing pissed.

Busier day biggest so far with 42 bets and 6 winners Mark Kelly scored another pretty useful 9-1 winner to go to +17.00 5.00 clear of Jed Parramore in 2nd. Other winners were Paul Evans, Stuart Bentham, Mark Dighton with his first bet, Justin Sercombe & Dave Kingsbury.

Alan Mabb maintained his lead in the plate with a 2 point 2nd.

Everyone has bet see next blog for prize structure

19sep11 not much faster

5 winners from 31 bets today - again nothing special, George Casserley picked his 3rd winner at 9-2 to go 6th in the main comp and 2nd in the plate

Big change of tack from Kevin Dighton, our sponsor, he selected a 2-5 winner today the shortest ever I think for him!

Still waiting for Barry Pemble (new boy) Mark Dighton and Steve Walton to have their first bets although as both Steve and Mark have already paid so they are certain (no refunds) so we all don't care if they are not betting.

Someone give Barry Pemble a reminder as we are 9 days in now

18sep11 slow

Slow Sunday as usual 20 bets and just one 5-2 winner for Paul Pritchard.

Alan Mabb went clear in the plate with a 2 point 2nd

excel will be issued by Vince later

17sep11 all the 2s

2 winners today and 2 new leaders

Winners both very nice from 31 bets today were Alan Mabb 12-1 to go 4th and Jed Parramore 14-1 to go top by 2.00, from Mark Quinn 2nd and Mark Kelly 3rd.

Alan by virtue of his 10 point winner takes over from Kevin Wood who failed to pick up a point, they are both on 15.

5 left to start

16sep11 steady

6 winners from 29 bets - nothing to write home about today Stuart Bentham moved into 2nd in the plate after he picked up his 3rd winner from 4 bets. No change in the leaders both had losers

Ayr Gold Cup Saturday - pick the winner of that for a double whammy mega cash collect and leader here - good luck

Down to just 6 runners left to play so will be able to announce prizes soon - got to wait for Steve Walton to get back from yet another foreign holiday :-)

15sep11 Marks

29 bets 3 winners with Mark Kelly grabbing a 14-1 winner to join Mark Quinn as joint leader both on +12.00. Paul Berg sits 3rd on +5.00 after his 6-1 winner yesterday

Early days in the plate clearly as I'm still 4th but Stuart Bentham leaps into 2nd with his 2nd winner today on 10 points behind Kevin Wood still on 15

10 players still to have their first bet

13sep11 slow

Still 23 from the 58 players to have their first bet - when we know everyone has then we will confirm prizes

4 winners yesterday and 6 today nothing startling best today was 5-1 for Dave Palmer

Plate sees Kevin Wood still on 10 from 1 bet with Maurice Edgington (me) 2nd on 6 points from 3 bets - this might be my only time near the lead so have to give myself a mention :-)

Let's GO GO GO lads

12sep11 early leader

Hi

Sorry very stuttering start on this - Admin secretary been crap on phone numbers etc. so haven't been able to update!

All I can say is that Mark Quinn started Sunday with a very nice 14-1 winner to bolt out of the starting gate while most of us were still trying to remember how to text!

Kevin Wood g0t straight back in the saddle in the Plate picking a 10 point winner.

Vince went straight to the bottom on alphabetical order :-)

09sep11 - WE ARE BACK

The heat is on!

New comp starts Sunday, Kevin Dighton had a winner this week (nice collect Kev) so he now thinks he is favourite for this comp :-)

Take a look at his recent results - enough said

May the best man/lady win as long as its not Pete or Vince
