I'm sure the badger hasn't dropped any races, he's won this 4 grand blindfolded

Can't believe I didn't go in this :roll: , 18/20 so far and wasn't being especially careful.
AND I'm using my primary account which one or two probably didn't.

I missed one by a fluke but got all the others.

Up at 4pm today, I'd do well just to place bets in all 21!

Best of luck to everyone in with a chance. :)

Power cut put me out of the running yesterday, ended up 20/21, well done to anyone who shares the pot with a perfect 21/21 it's not something to be sneezed at.

I annoyed at my one slip up, but pleased that Betfair have highlighted how hard it is and how special getting at 28 at Cheltenham was ;)

Just in terms of this competition, would a better strategy (than simply trading each race) be to have dutched 95% of the book?

That would give you a 35ish % hit rate so would have generated a lot more than the 4 that actually won (1% hit rate)....

(and given you only need to generate pennies to win - should have been relatively cheap!)

It's quite offensive of Betfair to call the four winners lucky! It's not as if it's a prize draw.

Pity they didn't release the overall wins those 4 achieved to see if they were playing the markets or playing the competition.

I guess the second place was worth attention too

Almost certainly the competition. If you push hard to maximise profits you almost certainly have losses when you overcook it.

I'd guess a couple didn't complete the full 21 markets for whatever reason so no longer eligable.
