If sufficent interest another tipping challenge will start this week and run through to the end of the Grand National meeting. Again this will be free to enter and will be primarily a fun event.
Each week you will be given a mythical amount to stake on set events, with special emphasis on things like the Cheltenham Festival. The winner at the end of the 5-6 weeks will get a Betfair Hoodie, with runners up getting Betfair Polo Shirts and Baseball Caps. I have the merchandise in my living room, so assuming the winners want the prizes, they should get them within 48 hours of the challenge ending.
As I said this is essentially a bit of fun so no aftertiming on bets or prices.
The first week, starting now, you have 2 x £100 mythical bets to be placed on football over the next 7 days. You cannot have the 2 bets on the the same game.
There should also be an announcement later today regarding a Sunday Forum/Community game starting next Sunday, and myself and Thrappers have wangled some decent added value for each weekly game out of the ever generous Betfair PR, so hopefully plenty of you will enter that too.

This week is 3 x £100 bets on the Masters. No multiples, but other than that you can bet on any market you like including those in running. All winnings added to totals, no deductions for losing bets.
I know nothing about golf but probably cant do any worse than I have on horses and football.

I'll post the next two later in the week, unless someone can give me odds on Harrington smiling from ear to ear after missing a putt from inside 8 feet?
Bet 150 EW (top 5) on Brandt Snedeker @ 90-1I'll post the next two later in the week, unless someone can give me odds on Harrington smiling from ear to ear after missing a putt from inside 8 feet?
I mentioned top 5 to clarify the place part of the bet. If it's any conciliation, I'm watching The Ring on my own as punishment!

Surely a post that late into Masters - before the first tee off - is a bit late. Tho if I'd known that I would have waited for 3/4 of the tourney to have been played before placing my bet.
Good luck to Brightonaremagic if allowed.
I've got to go big on Grand National. I expect I'm second bottom just above chip.

Obviously some of us were on OOSTHUZEN for real @ 24 and point blank refused to lay off near the end because we felt Bubba couldnt possibly win, what with him being a horrible, chokey, pink driver using ****.
The advantage of playing late with a 4 day event is that you are on a player who is in contention. The downside is that you dont get the fancy odds.
I suspect a few who backed Bubba to be top 10, are wishing they had gone 50 e.w. in the outrights instead at Ascot prices.
Burton as BF PR cant win a prize, and some wont want one, I can guarantee you a polo shirt for finishing in the top 4.
Those genuinely were the prices on the off Nick.Obviously some of us were on OOSTHUZEN for real @ 24 and point blank refused to lay off near the end because we felt Bubba couldnt possibly win, what with him being a horrible, chokey, pink driver using
Table after WEEK However many we've had ( feels like forever ):
Keith A +1574.50 BF PR +1217.19 Brighton +1036 Burton + 826 HF +672.50 Wonky +335 Bruce +286.25 Aidfur +285 J Love +74.08 gnash +32.43 Nick -63.28 Snap -100 de1 -103 AJ -182.66 Geezer -186.75 poopy -200 SAFC -227.28 KLUP -343.64 Chip -600
Obviously even with just one event to go, technically anyone apart from me could still win the thing if they find a 20-1 winner of the National. However with the Golden Lever functioning brilliantly, it does appear to be Keith A's title to lose.
There's a Betfair hoodie and more importantly extended bragging rights to the eventual Tipping Challenge King, and polo shirts and baseball caps for anybody posting a decent score. Sizes are Large and XL because thats what I was sent, and I will do my very best to get everything posted within a couple of days of the final event and anyone wanting a prize contacting me as long as I can afford the postage. I've never sent anything like this in the post before and have no idea what it costs, or what sort of envelopes to use !

Thats OK mate. You are doing well on this. And well played the Brighton fan. Still we beat them 4-2 in FA cup some years back. The eldest nipper on my shoulders for 90 minutes. Torquay offering £20k for Jamie Ndah when I think they wanted our other striker. And then Mickey Droy our manager at the time quoting on match of the day that he was worth only 5 match balls and a set of training bibs...
I should have gone for wins for my lot from the off.
Genuinely first Augusta last day that I've watched for years. Fantastic albatross and Bubba's recovery at end from horrible tee shot. And then all the blubbering.
Nearly made up for the horrible suckouts I had at the end of a couple of tourneys on sunday night.
Looks like I'm looking for a 40/50-1 national winner. You may need a 100-1 shot.

Perhaps not... 40/1. Just to show how little I understand this betting lark.
What are the odds on race being stopped by a nutter protesting? And is that bloke that stopped the boat race still in custody?

Its one £100 bet, though you can do each ways, reverse forecast, or play on any of the BF markets eg Irish trained winner, number of finishers etc.

its that good, you had to say it thrice thrapps? Wierd - this: Neptune Collonges was my alternative choice and also liked the names for the two runners ridden by the lady jockeys, but i cant see a lady jockey winning it.

Yes thanks Chip for doing this, I know it takes up a bit of your time and the amount of views shows how much people enjoy it.
Now for the gloating bit, how good am I? Remember I also had Oosthuizen beaten in a play off in the Masters too as my only bet that week!
In the interests of fair play I will duck my prize of the hoody as on my various Betfair trips I have picked up plenty of Hoodies so will happily donate it to Brightonaremagic for his honourable if distant second.
Thanks again Chip.

I will endeavour to get all merchandise sent out this week, the kids are off so will badger one of them into packaging things up and taking them to the Post Office. It's the least they can do in return for the fortune I've spent on Graham Coxon tickets for them tonight.

Right, thus far I've bagged up XL polo shirt and cap for Burton, L polo shirt and cap for Bruce, and XL hoodie for Brighton.
Keith I need you to send me a delivery address via pm and I will bag up an XL polo shirt and cap.
This leaves a large polo shirt and cap for Wonky if he wants them. Dunno if anyone is able to contact him ?
Once I've got details for Wonky and Keith I will get one of the kids to take them into town and post out.

It's a satelitte ticket mate. The actual game is on Sunday night with two 1.4k Prague packages guaranteed, and it normally only has about 20 runners. Standard is pretty poor. Its on exactly the same time as the Sunday Community game so we can all cheer you on when you play it.

Good luck, it's definitely the sort of satelitte our Community Players are capable of cashing in, and of course if you do, its an all expenses trip to Prague and the chance to win serious money !
