Special Cheltenham Tipping competition

March 12, 2012
hoganstand.com are running a Special Cheltenham Tipping competition for 2012.

The thread can be found on the Other Sports Forum

The rules are the same as created by our good friend Loyal2TheRoyal in previous years.

There is a prize of €100 for the overall winner, while we will include a prize of €25 for each of the four daily winners.


How To Play
Each day, select one horse from each race and post your predictions on this thread. To get the maximum reward, post before 1.30pm each day.

How To Score
The scoring system is complicated but fair.

Lets say you pick a horse and it wins at 2/1, then you get two points. So:
2/1 winner - 2.00 points
10/1 winner - 10.00 points
8/11 winner - 0.73 points

Also should you pick a horse and it places (first 2 for 5-7 runners, first 3 for 8-15 runners, first 3 for 16+ if not a handicap, first 4 for 16+ runners in a handicap), you will be rewarded with points 1/4 of the odds. So:
2/1 placed - 0.50 points
10/1 placed - 2.50 points
8/11 placed - 0.18 points

There is no NAP this year.

How To Enter
Just post your predictions like this thread sample as follows:
1.30 - 12 - Menorah
2.05 - 8 - Sizing Europe
2.40 - 15 - Chief Dan George
3.20 - 1 - Binocular
4.00 - 13 - A New Story
4.40 - 14 - Quevaga

Please include the racecard number of the horse as well as the horse's name.

Unlikely Scenarios
1. If you pick a non-runner, then you have no selection in that particular race
2. If there is a Rule 4, then it will be ignored
3. If a result is changed, then it's the amended result that stands for the purpose of this competition

Best of luck to all posters!
