29jan11 great last day event

Feel sorry for all you not in the fantastic 'on the win line' box that we got for the day on Saturday.

Well done Kevin Dighton for sorting this out and helping to keep the costs down for us all. I think most of us there want this to be a regular thing - we'll see.

A month off from admin for me so watch out for details of the next comp coming out from Vince (recruitment and credit control) probably looking at an early March start to end on Derby Day.

We will be doing a bit of a rule review during the closed season around things like Irish racing, last day bets, and reserve selections after late non runners.

#27 comp stats

3599 bets 754 forced losers so taking them out 2845 bets with a loss to a level stake of 333.91 which is pretty good considering how many of us have been picking ridiculous long shots at the end.

Total of 579 winners from those 2845 bets

Best win % Stuart Bentham with 34 winners 55% but still not good enough for him to cash in the plate he finished on the bubble - too many 3 point winners. Stuart also had the best 'in the first 4' % at 86% only 8 of his selections didn't finish in the first 4.

29jan11 its over
