OK Old Birchonians - it's time to take this to the next level , in short it's time to put up or shut up.

For the month of April , so starting tomorrow - whatever our Lord and Saviour puts up ie. 2 bets , 3 bets , 4 bets etc. in the RP on a Monday and Tuesday - we have to match it - so if he puts the normal 3 bets up - we each have to put 3 bets up - they don't have to be in the same races as His Lordship - they can be anywhere on that day's UK card.

We'll have a mythical £10 Win or £5 EW on each beast and let's see if we can beat the Noble Lord on profitability.

Would someone be kind enough to put Lord Birchy's selections onto the thread please when known.

We'll keep a tally and a table on the thread.



Lord Birchers - I hope you take this in the spirit it's intended.

Mr. Millington - a month's trial as a Tipster in the RP to the winner???

He reports he was going to have a total of £2k on two he had picked out last Friday after his going through 6 meetings 'in my usual methodical fashion'(they were declared non-runners).
How on earth does he get that amount on?????
Given his tipping record how is he not destitute?
Is BM happy for him to report such bets without question given the RPs stance on promoting betting responsibly.
He also reports he had a 12/1 winner on Sat. when is the last time he picked anything near that price?
