What is the naps comp

For the new visitors and those not used to these things below is a summary of what we are doing!

This is a competition, started in 2001, run by a group of mates (+ loads more we have gathered on the way) who are racing fans. Each competition is over 3 months and during that period we each have to nominate our best bet of the day (nap) for 61 days. The reason it isn't every day is to allow for people away on holiday and when we are all too busy, it snows and everything is canceled, or if you pick a non-runner, in this way it is fair to everyone and everyone has the same number of bets.

The bets are not 'real' they are what you think is the best pick for that day, you text them into the administrators before the daily cutoff, and your selection is recorded. If it loses you score -£1.00 if it wins you score the odds to a stake of £1.00, so a 5-1 winner would get you +£5.00 and so on. At the end of the 91 day period, when everyone will have had the same 61 bets, the person with the highest total wins the cash. There is a small side competition based on the number of winners called the plate, but the main cash and action is as above.

So what about cash, as with any type of competition involving betting it only really works if we all have something staked, it means we are committed and so as well as the glory you get a decent prize!

So this is what we do: we ask for £50.00 from everyone who enters and very importantly ALL we collect is distributed back as prizes. For example, in the last competition, there were 15 prizes ranging from £50 (a free play in the next comp) to £1,200.00 for the overall winner. The prizes obviously change depending on how many enter each time. We usually have 3 competitions of 3 months each every year, this gives the guys doing the admin some time off!

There is a blog www.napscomp.blogspot.com that is updated every day with a commentary on what has happened that day and other miscellaneous comments and the latest top ten. Each week every participant gets emailed a full report showing their, and everyone else's, selections and detailing all the results for all of the previous week's action. On the last day, we all try and meet up at a race meeting (next meet up for the 52nd comp is probably Coral Eclipse day at Sandown 6th July 2024) and present the very impressive solid silver antique cup to the winner, take a few photos, help him drink his winnings etc.

We would love to have new members join us but remember we are just a group of mates this is not sponsored, not a business, and I do have a day job! So any problems, thoughts or moans just ring or email us. However with the amount of cash we are now giving out as prizes we take the rules and procedures seriously for example for some of the larger turnouts we have had a pot of over £3,000 in the prize pool and that is a fair bit of cash, it is kept separately and the rules are applied across the board but recognizing this is a social enterprise so hopefully with discretion

See you soon
