I can confirm that this WILL go ahead this year and the first bet or lay will be posted on Monday evening.
As many people know, this began in 2002 and is the highlight of the year for all Betfair forumites. The £30,000 has been won in 8 out of 11 years.

Newcomers, please note:
1. There is no middle ground - by the close of play on Friday, either the £30k will be won or the £5k will be lost.
2. There are no guarantees in racing - 8 times we have won £30k, but 3 times we have lost £5k.
3. Obviously that is a net profit of £185,000 but there are no certainties year on year.
4. All bets or lays are either based on inside information (I place bets in the Far East for "certain people") or my opinion. No clarification will be given on any bet - you can either follow or leave.
5. Obviously you are equally welcome to turn £500 to £3000, or even £50 to £300.......the stakes are entirely your own choice.
6. Ignorant sorts who write "post your bets" will be duly ignored and blocked.
7. And just to clarify I posted as "Grave Dodger" for about 6 years before switching accounts and posting as "GraveDodger" for the past 6 years or so.
8. This is a special gift from me to the world and ONLY operates for Cheltenham. Please do not beg me to do this for other big meetings, or ask me to give you private bets. No matter what money you offer me, all such requests will be met with a polite refusal.
9. The target is £30k from a starting bank of £5k. So that will be £25,000 clear profit. Once the profit is reached, all bets STOP, even if it happens on Day One.
10. There will not be bets in every race, and I will always tell you when the next bet is due to be given out. Most investments will actually be lays.

Good luck to everyone. The first investment will be given around 10.30pm on Monday night.................

STARTING BANK = 5000
CURRENT BANK = 5000
Current profit = 0
Next bet = 10.30pm Monday

you wouldn't have seen much of last years, he lost 5k in two bets and vanished, so there's one lie for starters

Celtic Son • March 9, 2014 6:21 PM GMT
Same cobblers every year. Flukes a win once every decade and quickly forgets the massive losses he racks up. Utter moron of a man.

Ballydoyle • March 11, 2014 7:09 AM GMT
Aaaaah it's the return of the twaat and his sophisticated betting advice. Yes that's right be intelligent and lay your entire bank on one bet because this clown's lays never lose...but that's not strictly true now is it? Anyone care to bring up previous years when banks were wiped out by lays that dared to win?


Grave dodger you tw@t
You DID do this challenge in 2013
You seem to have a very selective memory, as elise stated you busto after 2 races in 2013
You have not got anywhere near 8 out of 11 years.
It is fortunate for you that the forum archives are not searchable.
While I realise that you desperately crave attention, please spare us your bare-faced lies.
Face up to the fact that you are merely a pin-sticker.

We may or may not play around with a small part of the profits as well.Vautour is the big hope for Ireland and is a remarkable 6 pounds clear top rated on bhb official ratings - for many this SEEMS like it is almost a penalty-kick.........but sometimes things are not always as straightforward as they seem to be. Gravedodger is ADAMANT that Vautour cannot win this race - he has told his friends to lay it until the blood is dripping from their nostrils. It now forms the first leg of our £30,000 challenge.Do not waste my time asking if it is also a place lay. It does not matter. All that matters is that it MUST NOT WIN. Entire bank for the week staked on the first race!!!!!!!!! Gravedodger is ever so confident that we will get a good start here. I will post again after the race.

one of you can lay irving and another of you can back irving - what does it matter??? it's just one opinion against another
when I give  a LAY it is a fact that a horse cannot win, not just an opinion - so irving wins, irving doesn't win, who cares? someone will be right and someone will be wrong!
all that really matters is VAUTOUR must not win, can not win and will not win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it does not bother me what wins this race, roll on bet number two at 1.55pm
