    Cheltenham November Meeting Competition

    Players nominate four horses each day at Cheltenham Friday to Sunday which are settled as a £1 win yankee at SP prices posted on the RP site (stakes included). All bets to be submitted by the off time of the first race. Non runners are exactly that, cannot be replaced at any time, and the bet settled accordingly. Losing Yankees are recorded as £0.00
    .


    The winning player will be the one accumulating most funds. Individuals must play on all three days to be declared the winner.



    Just for fun but if anyone wants to offer a prize(s) I can't see us refusing



    Any disputes my decision is final

    I'll put up a £50 bet with the proceeds to go to the charity of the winner's choice.
    Winner to choose a horse/s running in calendar year 2017 and give me sufficient time to place the bet.

    Yes but it will be 18 bets - 9 doubles, 7 trebles and 2 x 4/folds.

    you would need 5 horses for that bet though with 2 in the same race . So the answer is no for this combo DG
