Well done mate - good to read you got it.

I just read your blog post and it reads as though you were forming books as opposed to greening up level across the field at the off, is that right? Or have I miss-read your blog post?

Can't see anywhere what you needed for 2nd and 3rd place - has anyone seen it anywhere?

Thx etc.

Crkt is my main sprt .. this was mainly a lucky dip .. another week I would have lost 5k.

There was competition strategy .. I tended to have books, with 3-6 horses winning me decent sums.

There was a random 100/1 chance, which I like the name of .. which was winning me ... a lot .. traded 1.7 in running, that
would have killed it all off on Day 3.

Sometimes, u gotta Be lucky.

Will try find out what others P/L won ..

Well done, got to be honest I thought you had no chance going into day 4, I thought they'd be a few with 6 figures net profit and 50% or so strike rate.

Second was +£1,324.58 and third was +£1,218.44. Thanks.

That last poor day and the poor api on a couple of days did it for me just missing out on third place :(

Mine was all greened/red up across the market at the off split across all runners.

I promised a post re this game, a while ago.

It doesnt copy/paste properly, so, will just put this link up.

The main point is this. Work hard, ask questions, and the markets can be beaten.

One last thing.

If the winning amounts are so low .. 2 people could collude.

One lays even 5k something. other account backs it.

One of them wins 5k .. pays 100 comm, but, is in pole position to win 1000.

Rules need some attention.

Got an email saying I came 2nd and saying I was surprised is an understatement!

Had a very average final day and as Andy says the second day just felt a little bit off in regards to the servers.

Anyway, a nice friendly competition and I hope it increased the awareness of the BD brand :)
