The Cheltenham Ante Post Competition

[Sea Pigeon]

It would be fun to have an ante post tipping competition for the Festival.

The races in the competition would be:

Gold Cup
Champion Hurdle
Champion Chase
World Hurdle
Arkle Chase
RSA Chase
Triumph Hurdle
Supreme Novices Hurdle
Ryanair Chase
David Nicholson Mares Hurdle

Each entrant would make a selection for each race and also a next best in the case of a non runner. The best current odds as shown on oddschecker would be shown against each horse on the entry.
Each horse would have a hypothetical £100 stake to win.
The winner is whoever has the biggest profit from their £1,000 investment and would receive a prize of all the entry stakes at say £10 each.

Who’s up for it?

Oops forgot to add that the winner of the competition is proclaimed the real Ante Post King until the next competition.

You can count me in, but in real life of course theres no second chance for non runners. Isnt that part of the AP punt at odds accordingly~?

Excellent idea Sea Pigeon,trouble is The Real Ante-Post King has been studying the art of Ante-Post betting for 25yrs and as much as Cheltenham is my favourite hunting ground you have to be able to adapt to the flat come March,funnily enough i rule that aswell!
Anyone stupid enough to call themselves such a big dick name like TAPK had better be able to back it up long term,anyone can have a lucky short term winning streak!

[Kauto Kid]

So don't run, just like the others always do

[Sea Pigeon]

Ok guys

Looks like we have enough interest already.

I will be happy to run the competition and give the leaderboard at the end of each day at the festival.

Can we have all entries posted directly on this thread by 31st December 2010, I will put them all on a spreadsheet as they come in and them summarise all entries on 1st January.

The £10 stake will need to be a cheque with no payee on it dated 18th March 2011 or cash. At the close of the festival each cheque will have the winners name entered on them and posted to his home address plus any cash.
To keeps things all fair I need a volunteer to hold onto the cheques/cash in the meantime and write in the winners name and post them on. The volunteer needs to give his real name and address to all entrants.

I have asked for a volunteer to hold onto the cheques.
If no one has volunteered in the next week I will post my name address and telephone number on this thread and you can post them to me for safe keeping.

[JJMSports]

Count me in too.

I don’t think you should publish your address on an open forum especially with people sending money to it. Don’t you watch crimewatch? Safer to PM members interested I reckon. Good competition idea and best wishes.
