Cheltenham Betting Competition

[Matt]

Cracking week for this guy: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheBakerE/status/576024416062205952

On the other hand nothing for us there.

[Matt]

The Package got LCS and Colly 66.25 a piece from their 5 e/w bets. So that means that today's results were:

Me: 62.50

Colly: 66.25 + 66.25 + 41.25 = 173.75

Thrilla: 50 + 45 + 11.25 = 106.25

LCS: 37.50 + 66.25 = 103.75

Well done to everyone but me for making a profit. As for the overall totals.

Me: 62.50 + 75 + 163.66 = 301.16

Colly: 173.25 + 26.25 + 136.25 = 335.75

Thrilla: 52.50 + 106.25 + 38.12 = 196.87

LCS: 70.25 + 103.75 + 0 = 174

So all to play for going into the last day but Thrilla and LCS need a big winner.

[Matt]

So for tomorrow:

Hargam £15

Baltimore Rock £10 e/w

Black Hercules £10

Coneygree £15

Current Event £5 e/w

Rois des Francs £10

Solar Impulse £10 e/w

I'm pretty much going shit or bust to try and beat Colly

[Colly]

I'm gonna keep picking silly names.

[Matt]

Seems better than my tactic of looking at form and tips

[Colly]

Pain au Chocolat

Max Dynamite (Theres some options in that one!)

Caracci Apache - 10 e/w

Djakadam - 10 e/w

Universal Soldier

Forthefunofit - 10 e/w

Chris Pea Green

5 e/w for the rest. I'm jinxing it by sticking a bet on.

[Thrilla]

13:30 Dicosimo - £10 e/w

14:05 Ebony Express - £5 e/w

14:40 Black Hercules - £10 e/w

15:20 Silviniaco Conti - £20

16:00 Current Event - £5 e/w

16:40 Roi Des Francs - £5 e/w

17:15 Ned Buntlane - £10

[Thrilla]

Commissioned is a non runner so making some edits above

[Matt]

Colly our first winner of the day, £5 e/w place on a 14/1 shot nets him 22.50... 50 something in front of me now

[Matt]

Coneygree! £120 banked. So I'm guaranteed up for the week. Wish I'd actually backed all these

Colly also got £35 from a 10/1 e/w place.

Current standings with 3 to go:

Me: £421.16

Colly: £393.25

Thrilla: £196.87

LCS: £174.00

[Matt]

Thrilla banked 8.75 from the 4.40 so it ended up as follows:

Me: £421.16

Colly: £393.25

Thrilla: £207.62

LCS: £174.00

In conclusion, none of us are very good and never ever take tips off Thrilla.

See you guys at Aintree, maybe.

[Colly]

I lost £4 this week. Off £4.40 on.

I went to the first day of the festival, it's a lot of fun. Won £35 on Glen's Melody.
