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.

I would have thought once entered a market not played would just go down as a 'no profit' market

Might have revealed some info about who's using multiple dodgy accounts in the names of their dogs and a couple got closed :)

I can't be 50% of the non-finishers!

I just had a phone call from Betfair to inform me that ive won my share, a nice way to start a Monday!

I traded the first day as normal but when I noticed how few people had won all the races on the first day I made sure I had a profit on the rest of the races. I certainly wouldn't have made 1k with my normal trading style.

Well done. Just had my call too. And I played it pretty much exactly the same way. The 7/7 figure at 14 was indeed the key figure which changed the way I played for next 14 races
