As most people reading this will know Vaigret has run this very successfully for the past few years but is unable to do so this year and was looking someone to take it on or it would not run.
I waitied as long as possible hopng for someone else to step into the breach but no-one did so I have spoken to Terry and said I'd take it on for this year because I didn't want to see it vanish.
I'm trying to run it on exactly the same lines as Terry (if it ain't broke etc..) but I will only accept race selections on the thread and thats because I have had several instances when people have sent me pm's and they have never arrrived and I don't want that to happen to someone's winning 50-1 selection!
Apologies in advance if there are teething problems and please let me know if I've made a mistake at any time - it's more than likely going to happen... Below are the rules etc...copied from last year, with the one differecne, mentioned above! Interested in Horse Racing, then join this free competition to win free bets from SKY. The Naps table will run from Saturday, February 7, 2015 to the day of the Grand National and will also include the four days of the Cheltenham Festival (March 10-13) and the three days of the Aintree festival making 15 selections in all.
What do I have to do ?
Register for the competition by posting on this thread before 12 noon on Friday, 6th February 2015. Select one horse from any British race meeting on each Saturday and one horse for each of the days of the Festivals. The Festival selections must be from races at Cheltenham/Aintree but the Saturday selections can come from any UK race meeting on that day. Selections each day, with name of horse, race time and meeting have to appear on this thread 30 minutes before the start time of the First Race in Britain on each given day. (Not by Peronal Message). If you wish to Nap under a pseudonym please enter on the thread otherwise you will be be entered in your Sky Poker Name.
How will winners be settled?
Any winner will be settled at starting price to a £1 level win stake. If your horse is a non runner the £1 stake will not be deducted from your total. Not selecting a horse on any given day results in a £1 loss. How will the winner of the Naps Table be decided ?
The winner will be the tipster who makes the most profit over the 16 day selection period. If there is a tie on profit, the places will be decided by the number of winners. The updated table will appear on the start of this thread after each day of the competition so you will know how you are doing.
What are the Prizes ?
First Place - £50 bet with Sky. Second Place -£30 bet with Sky. Third Place -£20 bet with Sky.At the end of the competition there will be a participants Freeroll but only people who have posted at least 5 selections will be entered into this. I think I have covered everything but if not i will answer any queries if posted on this thread and REMEMBER, If you are really confident about your selection get on at SKY BET to see if you can get better odds to boost your personal pot of gold.I hope all the tipsters who supported this last year are up for it again and they we can welcome some new faces as well. So please enter and encourage your Sky Poker buddies to take part as well.
Great to see Vaigret in the competition - no doubt within a couple of weeks I'll have even more respect for his efforts and be wondering what I was thinking taking it on!
And if Dave 'Hitman' Harvey is in, then all is good
Welcome aboard yuranASSet, great to see a new face joining the competition (and if you entered last year, that's my first mistake out of the way)!!!!
