13jan17 more sensible

6 winners best of the day was for Mark Sharman 7-1, Gerry McCann picked up a 5-1 shot to go 2nd and start the long old job of reeling in the leader, Ray Harper 7-2, Dave Klein 4-1 and the top two in the plate Vince Paige & Stuart Bentham both the same 8-15 winner.

12jan17 Super winner

65 of us suddenly agree with rule #25 that restricts the maximum SP of a winner to 33-1 in the first section of the comp, after Spenser Mills pick an astounding 66-1 winner so that rule really bites for him!  Still sitting £31.00 up and £23.20 ahead of the field isn't a position to be too sad about, not sure if he backed it - hope so

Another mega day of winners with 16 in total out just 37 live bets after the snow beat Chelmsford tonight.  Second best today was Gerry McCann at 6-1 closely followed by Jo Hutson, & Paul Motty at 11-2.  Five of the plate boys all selected the same 5 point 1-3 cert, they were Barry Pemble, Justin Sercombe, Pete Long, Robert Logan & Stuart Bentham.  Vince Paige took over at the top of the plate after selecting the very impressive Top Ville Ben who won at 4-5, the same selection as Ian Carpenter and Chris Pascoe.  Kevin Wood and I both picked up an even money winner that's 3 from 3 for me and I'm not even on the leader board :-(  Roger Dore 10-11 & Matt Raven 4-6, were the final two winners.

Had to be a bit tough and not allow Natasha Tizzano's selection today as she was after the cut off by 4 minutes (which isn't so bad on its own) but she was also less than 30 minutes before the off so had to put that down as a "no bet".  Unfortunately, that meant she missed her 4th winner from 4 bets which stopped her holding on to top spot in the plate - sorry Natasha hope I'm forgiven :-)

Watch out for these things everyone.

Finally, a nice anecdote from Ian Carpenter that we can all relate to, on a corporate day out at Taunton yesterday had 5 out of 6 winners, loads of cash to bring home and what was his only loser - yep you got it his nap!!

Numbers Update

So looks like a mega entry we are at 66 with just 3 people left to pay (Andy Stevens, Tom McGarrity & Tim Catlin) and we are expecting all those to join.  That should mean a 1200 first prize, will wait for the final 3 to confirm full prize structure.

Still not too late to join, as we are only a few days in, if there are others

11jan17 now we're cooking

15 winners from just 39 selections so here goes: 4 joint best of the day all at 7-1, Martin Long, Andy Pitter, Chris Pascoe, & Dan Mason, four of the usual mob on the 1-3 winner, Vince Paige, Stuart Bentham, Barry Pemble, & Terry Matthews to go top of the main leader board.  Natasha Tizzano has started best 3 from 3 with today's winner at 13-8 to stay top of the plate, 2 winners on the same 2-1 shot, Ben Cheetham & Nobby Camunzuli and another 2 on the same 15-8 winner, Jimmy McGarrity & Michael Brook, leaving Jason McConkey 6-4 and me at 11-10 as the final two - phew!.
