Morning everyone.

As Foyleswar has suggested someone should take up the challenge I thought I’d give it a go. I wouldn’t recommend you follow my selections but it’ll give you all a laugh.

Selections will be posted at different times during the day and will be selections that I will be backing.

I do have some good positions on the following horses ante post which will hopefully cover any losses (if applicable) during the week.

Majborough 14/1
Constitution Hill 4/1 (saver on brighterdaysahead at 20/1)
Final demand 20/1
Ballyburn 12/1 and 10/1
Protecktorat 25/1
Big Westerner 12/1
GDChamp 4/1

Some not so good but overall happy with my position.

Next post will be on the first day of the meeting.

Finally, I hope you all have a great time at Cheltenham and please remember Michael O’Sullivan RIP when you are enjoy the brave horses and jockeys who are there to entertain us.

Regards

Forty

Well done Forty. I’ve similar antepost position but head to head in Turners with you with New Lion Laugh

Is this 5000 imaginary money, real pounds or just 5000 to show profit and loss ?

Hibore.

Thank you, and good luck with your bets.

It’s  just imaginary. I will be betting on the same horses in the same bet but a lesser stake. If the experiment makes a loss, so will I! This will exclude my profit/loss on ante post bets.

I’ve been considering how to place the bets I.e. singles or multiples and doing a bit of maths to either (hopefully) reach the 30,000 goal over the 4 days or shorter period.

Reaching the goal, whilst it’s the aim will not mean that the stakes increase on Friday should I need say 20,000 points to reach goal especially as I am backing the same horses.

My thoughts, subject to change will be 825 points on 2 days and 1,650 on 2 days with 50 points on a wild card double.

Ultimately, I would like to reach the 30,000 goal but if I make a lesser amount and it’s a profit, I’ll be happy.

Just as a footnote, I did consider the 4 shorties on day one (if brighter goes for the mares) to place the 5,000 point on. This, if successful would just about reach the 30,000 point target.
