With two of the biggest betting meetings of the year happening this week, it seems a good time to have a competition.


I will put up two prizes of £100 each. The 'yellow jersey' prize goes to the person achieving the highest profit on their bets during the week, while the 'green jersey' prize is for the person scoring the most points based on their position in the rankings each day.


It starts tomorrow and is based on the Galway and Goodwood meetings up to and including Saturday.


The following rules apply:

- As many bets as you like up to a total of £2,000 per day and £5,000 overall (Tuesday-Saturday);

- Win or each way bets only;

- Minimum bet £100 or £50 each way;

- Bets to be settled at SP unless an early price, prevailing at the time of the bet being submitted and available from at least two bookies (not betting exchanges) listed on oddschecker, is specified;

- A maximum of £4,000, and therefore a minimum of £1,000, to be placed on either meeting;

- The person with the most winnings (or least losses!) after Saturday's cards will be declared the winner of the yellow jersey prize;

- The person with the most points based on their position in the rankings each day will be declared the winner of the green jersey prize (10 pts for 1st, 9 pts for 2nd... 1 pt for 10th);

- In the event of a tie for either prize it will be shared;

- Selections must be submitted for Goodwood and the Galway afternoon meetings by 1pm each day, and by 4pm each day for the Galway evening meetings.



Please read the rules carefully, in particular the requirement to bet a minimum amount on both meetings.



All forum members are invited to get involved, the more the merrier.

I presume this starts tomorrow when both meetings are on - explains why so few entered :D I'll leave mine up to show how much I would have lost with this approach :(
 
Brilliant idea, Grey - thanks for organising & putting up very generous prize. I will give it a go - just hope I can get the rules right!
 
Cheers Grey, very kind of you.

The idea is to try and counteract a tendency for people to lose interest if they get off to a bad start, or if someone else gets a big winner early on.

A bit like our Spanish friend Alberto no one needs to win a stage to end up in yellow....
