I will email to ask them would they credit the winner of the league a £10 free bet (worth the ask!)

My iPhone only let me choose from the first six horses in each race. Made selection simple but not convinced it's a winning strategy.

I'm not doing too well but its good bit of fun.

Some of the trainer and jockey ratings were shocking though.  Whoever at the Telegraph set them up should be ashamed.

Edward O'Grady rated 3, but Willie Mullins rated 5?  and David Pipe rated 18 behind nearly every other trainer?

The team finished 2nd overall in the team competetion and might have won if the stragglers had kept going instead of contributing minus points on the final day!

I was pleased with 5th and 489th out of 25000+.  Dogbolter (the beer you see twice lol) 26th overall a great result.

See you 2012 - I did better choosing from the top six in each list than with my proper bets. I won't be wasting my time studying form next year!
Report dogbolter March 19, 2011 11:54 PM GMT
Think I did better on the compy than in real life - probably because I used it as an emotional hedge, put in all the horses I sorta fancied but couldn't quite back......same 'ol same 'ol

Also it seems quite skewed towards the jocks/trainer points rather than the bets - 620 of my 1440 points were from that.
