  Reged .Thanks for all the hard work  from
you and the other settlers

.

I can't make up my mind if madhatter wants to stay or go. I can imagine him prowling round his garret singing the song (www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqH21LEmfbQ). He keeps saying he can't bear to leave us, which is indeed extremely heartwarming. But then he keeps winning. Indeed, he was today's only winner, with a 7/4 number - his eighth in the last 11 - that nudges him up a spot to seventh. Okay, he still has a bit of a hill to climb on the final day, but he's clearly got the wind in his sails. Naturally Mr Mad, I would be distraught if you left us, but the sporting side of me says that if anyone deserves their place in the sun it is you, so best of luck!

Hard luck to the others who had a go today. If Andrew In Sweden is to be believed he had the biggest hard luck story of the day, but I'm not convinced. 'So near, yet so far' he lamented. I think the emphasis there should be on the 'so far' - the nag was almost as many furlongs behind the winner as its price of 25/1. So I'll award him one crocodile tear for that.

Anyway this is it guys and gals - the day of the final push. You never know, it could just be your day, so go for it! And the very best of luck!

And here's my guide to what you will need to win the championship/get promoted, assuming everyone else loses ...

Hi Reged,
If you remember back to the end of December (when I recorded my worst ever monthly total of -21.00 ), I said I would attempt a more 'fish-like' (salmon spray) approach to this year, but without resorting to the very long odds on shots, trying to focus on prices around 4/5 to 6/4.
I reasoned that, if I could average about 4.00 or 5.00 pounds profit a month then that £48-60 would put me well close to being the Naps champion for 2016, knowing betme won last year's title with just under 48 quid.

Furthermore, if I was always about +5.00 per month, then I could probably spend the whole year here in Div 3 with you (normally need +7 at least to get promoted from here) yet still 'do' them premiership boys that only nap to avoid relegation rather than seek profitable overall performance.

So far it's going almost to plan with just -1.21 last month and at least +7.38 this one!

Our Channel - 4.00 Wolves

Should be short enough to keep me here I think, even if it wins!

Thanks for all your hard work again Reged and to KC/Shane for filling in while you had a well deserved break.
