Q and A’s regarding the competition format and rules.

How many selections must be made?

Over the month entrants must make 1 selection on at least 25 days.Anyone can join in at any time as long as this criteria can be met, so for the January comp, the 7th would be the latest possible time to join in.

The calculation for no shows which cannot be exceeded is Days Of The Month - 25
So for January 31-25 = 6 possible days when an entrant can refrain from offering a selection

Void runners will not be viewed in the same way.Whilst Substitutes can be offered along with the primary selection on any given day following all the usual rules, a failure to have offered up a substitute to replace a void runner will not be used as a strike in the same way as a No Show.So in theory for a month, an entrant may still be accepted for posting less than 25 selections so long as the no show limit is not exceeded.

Can I change my selection once it’s been posted.?

You can only change your selection IF it is either deemed void OR it is nonsensical, ie a horse that doesn’t exist given in error. If sub(s) have been offered they will be used instead.If no sub has been offered and the selection deemed void you can post another selection so long as it’s BEFORE the 15 min before first race time limit.

What criteria do selections need to satisfy?

Selections must be of odds no greater than 6.0 in any UK or IRE race under rules win or STANDARD place markets on Betfair.

Are win and place markets settled in the same way?

Win markets allow for a choice between an early price to be taken or BFSP, whereas place markets will ALWAYS be settled at BFSP.The reason for the difference being the sluggish liquidity difference between those markets and thus the credibility of early prices.

When must selections be posted? (please read this carefully)

A selections thread for the following days racing will usually be posted between 6-7pm, in the event I am not around at this time the selections thread may be put up sooner.Anyone who needs to post a selection sooner than the next days thread being active can message me and I will make sure their entry along with any substitutes is posted on that day’s selections thread.

The competition will have 2 phases for the selections process.
Phase 1 will be from the time the selections thread is posted until 8am the following day (race day).

In this phase there is an opportunity primarily for those that are not around on race day to still be able to take part.Selections given during this time will be settled at BFSP unless a bet meeting the competition liability (current bank / 20) is posted on the selections thread to show it was feasible. The reason for this request at this stage is the volatility and slackness of the market and subsequent ?? over the credibility of an early price taken.

Eg the starting liability in the comp is £50 so a qualifying bet at the stated price must be posted for a minimum of that liability to be settled as such.

Selections posted with prices that aren’t verified in the above fashion will still be allowed but settled at BFSP so long as they still satisfy the price limit of max odds 6.0.

Entrants are more than welcome to offer up to 2 substitutes to back up their primary entry in the event of that runner being deemed void.If 2 substitutes are offered they will replace the void selection in the order they are posted. In the unfortunate event the substitute(s) are also deemed void the entrant will be put down as a void selection day.

Eg
16:00 Haydock First Selection
Sub 15:55 Catterick Second Selection
Sub 13:20 Southwell Third Selection

Where 2 Subs are given they will be chosen in order posted rather than time of races.

Phase 2 will be from 8am until t-15mins of the FIRST RACE OF THE DAY (so if the first race of the day is 12:00 ALL ENTRIES FOR THE DAY must be in by no later than 11:45am.Any Entries past this time will not be allowed!

In this phase of the market, Entrants can take an early price (no posted bet required) as last price matched when posting or leave their selection to be settled at BFSP.Note again that place market selections will always be settled at BFSP at whatever phase of the markets.

How are selections staked and returns calculated?

Selections are staked to a fixed 5% liability of an entrant’s current bank with a 2% commission rate which recently has become widely available on Betfair.

Where a price has been taken this will be used in settlement even if the BFSP returns greater than the permitted 6.0 max limit.
If deductions occur in the market after this price was taken, the taken price will be adjusted accordingly and so will the relevant staking for that selection to stay at the 5% liability of current bank.

Where a price has not been taken settlement will as in phase 1 of the market be at BFSP.

Where can the current standings be seen and who wins the comp?

The days results will be posted on the days selections thread on this forum, the overall standings will be over on the Your Comps forum.The winner will be the entrant with the biggest bank at the end of the month.

Lay Naps Comp – February 2020

Distance 3 miles Going Heavy

Flushgordon1: A worthy favourite, does take the odd chance at his fences so it’s hoping his young rider holds on tight.

Movewiththetimes: Very good form earlier on but not quite the sparkle last couple outings, his shrewd trainer could be saving himself for today.

Bustino: Can always be relied upon to give his all and loves this heavy ground so expect fireworks.

Madhatter: Another with good early form which has dipped a little with the softer ground.

Flatcap: Can always be relied on for a safe as ride as possible in these conditions and does have experience on his side.

Posy: A model of consistency and you can put the house oh him being right up there in the home straight.

Stewarts rise: Coming right back into the form we saw earlier in the season and he won’t fail for lack of effort.

FOYLESWAR: Bound to go off at a scorching pace, will the stamina hold out over the distance is the question.

Happysandwich: This 3 miles is his distance and the ground presents no problem but will the odd fence?

Dukeofpuke: Has caught the eye of the stewards on more than one occasion but his rider is full of enthusiasm and a quick learner.

A fascinating final in store and while flushgordon1 is a most worth favourite plenty will be trying to topple him. With the ground being heavy it could see steady run being the order of the day and Bustino falls into that category along with plenty of others. Of course all jockeys will have one eye of Cheltenham so heroics might be in short supply today.

Betting: 4/6 flushgordon1, 2/1 Bustiono, 5/2 Movewiththetimes, 9/2 Flatcap, Madhatter, 8/1 posy, 12/1 bar

Airman sent me the above to put up, he did it last night.



Gl everyone on the last day of the month.

For the record Milvale (3.57) as looks very inexperienced at the hdls and trainer not known for hcp debutantes. Think more experienced rivals in this class will do for it on this ground at this stage of it's career.

Must admit handicap debutantes far from my fav group to have a go at, some transformations can be truly remarkable. Perhaps in the last 2 months this horse has been schooled for it's life!

Generally laying handicappers I want to be able to gauge what they have done so far in hcps.

I bottled the southwell choice for one reason, because it's Southwell , well two really price was a bit bigger than wanted too.
