1 - You have to choose 1 horse each day. Winners will be returned at SP/Industry Prices and stake is 1 point. If no SP/Industry Price is returned winning selections will be settled as non-runners. Subject to Rule 8, failure to post will be deemed a Non Selection and 1 point will be deducted.
2 - All UK and Irish races are eligible along with the Dubai Festival and the Sunday Arc de Triomphe meet.
3 - Selections must be posted AT LEAST 1 hour before your selected race. Failure to comply will result in the selection being declared Invalid and treated as a Non Selection.
4 - Selections may be changed as long as it is at least 1hr prior to the original race OR if the selection is a NR or deemed invalid ( Rule 3 MUST still be adhered to).
5 - Rule 4 and Dead Heat rules will apply to SP/Industry Prices.
6 - Sunday selections will be optional unless it is the last day of the month. On optional Sundays there will be no deductions for non-posters and Rule 8 will not apply.
7 - LAST DAY RULES for the last day of the month : all selections must be made BY THE SCHEDULED OFF TIME OF THE FIRST RACE of the day, you can't choose a horse already selected by another competitor in the same division, and only named horses are allowed.
8 - On any day that a competitor does not post (excluding Sundays and final days) they will automatically revert to a Rest Day, which will be settled as an optional day Non selection. However, once the total of such Rest Days for a month reaches 5, further days when no selections are made in that month will be classed as a losing No selection
9 - Reserve selections will only be allowed to cover the possibility of a meeting being abandoned.
10 - In the event of a tie the person who has used least "instructions" (ie Last Race favourite) will be deemed to finish above the person they have tied with.
11 - In the event of a major Betfair upgrade which may affect the ability to post on the Forum before racing starts that day will have Sunday rules applied (ie. no deduction for non-posters).
12 - Quite often, things can crop up that aren`t strictly covered by the above rules (grey areas) in these instances please abide by the individual settler`s decision/ruling.

As a long odds selector I have been allowed a concession. I CAN go as long as 1-5 
still struggling, was gonna try the gym but have decided to take the dog for a walk along Redcar beach instead (blow the cobwebs off),So often see Reveleys horses running along there.
I remember walking along there with my Uncle around 1980, saw the photos a few months back. Think he had an Alsatian.
Hope it works for you Pete.

I nearly died of hypothermia last time I was on Redcar beach and that was in July.
Coldest place in England surely Hartlepool , went there one Friday night for football and only just warmed up now.
I`m on jury service the next two weeks, start tomorrow 
Have you done it before Shane ?
Did it about 5 years back, quite enjoyed it.

A lot of waiting around the first day unless your lucky or if your really unlucky a lot of waiting around for four days
Never pumpy, got all my forms filled in, route planned, where to park etc, Oh and a Paul Nichols book to read 
Some people dread it but take it as one of life's experiences, with luck your get a really juicy case which is better than some boring fraud case which will seem to drag on, plus the fact your get taking to different people, its not as bad as it seems on the face of it.
Hope its not too bad Shane and more importantly doesn't stop you finding the winners.
Cheers pumpy.
Hope not china, mind you I mostly post the night before.

You look like you are well pi**ed off there Salmon.
Had you forgotten your bucket and spade?

Can't be. Penguins never found north of the equator. 
Is it the other end of that beach that has that strange lift ? Saltburn ?
We have actually got 6 statues of penguins on the sea front promenade at Redcar I had always wondered why penguins? now I know.
Salmon we have just built a vertical pier at Redcar, you go to the top and look at the steel works.
The penguins first migrated there in 1776 and over a number of years fully integrated into society. Many travelled south
in the search for work, hence a large penguin community in Sheffield from the 50`s onwards.

Very good Shane.
Is that the old ICI works ? Was a terrible eyesore when I went 10 or 12 years ago. At that time they actually had two lap-dancing clubs on the High St.

Salmon, I still work on the ICI site now called Wilton International as ICI are no longer.
Most of the plants have been knocked down so only about 25% left from 12 years ago.
The good news is there still remains a lap dancing club on the high street
Not that I have ever been.
