EXTRA PRIZE ANNOUNCED!

We have a little bit of interest that we need to spend so we are going to give away a free entry to the next comp for the person who sends in the 100,000th nap!!

Before the start of this comp we had had 98,937 naps and as at close today that was up to 99,072.  So if we have say about 35-40 naps a day sometime in the first week of October I will get the 100,000th entry whoever that is will get the free go.

I will keep the running total going on the blog (Vince & I are excluded from winning this for obvious reasons!)

A small thought for the person who has typed all those in and looked up every result :-)

12sep18 YES!

Apologies to Dave Klein for missing his winner off the blog report last night 85-40, 7 winners today including me at 4-1, Jo Hutson, the defending champ off the mark with an 11-4 winner, the joint leader, Mark Sharman  9-4, to go into the top spot on his own, Jamie Hill best of the day 6-1 to go straight in at 5th, Stuart Bentham 11-8 to sneak onto the plate leaderboard, Martin Long 4-1 to go 9th,  & finally Ian Carpenter who is now 3 from 4 with his 5-1 winner today.

Just a rule reminder 3 players had selections with very large SPs today, remember that maximum odds that count in the first 41 bets is 33-1 even if your 100-1 winner storms home!  This is to make sure we keep the comp alive if someone flukes a massive winner right at the beginning.
