    TH Ante Post Competition 2021/2022 FULL RULES

    Talking Horses Ante Post competition, rules and conditions


    1. The competition will open for entries at 12.01am on Monday 1st November 2021 and close at midnight on Monday 28th February 2022.

    2. Two prizes will be awarded, one of £100 sponsored by Grasshopper plus the perpetual Alan Morgan trophy donated by Tout Seul to the person whose bets generate the most winnings,

    3. Participants will have a separate virtual bank for each month of the competition as follows:

    November - £1000
    December - £1000
    January - £1000
    February - £2000

    4. The bank for each month can only be used during the month to which it refers.

    5. Bets can be placed on the ante post market for any race at the Cheltenham Festival with any of the following eleven “allowed” bookmakers whose odds are displayed on oddschecker.com.

    bet365
    Sky bet
    Paddy Power
    WilliamHill
    888sport
    Betfair sportsbook
    Betvictor
    Unibet
    Betfred
    betway
    Boylesports
    Ladbrokes as of 15.30pm Mon Jan 17th 2022
    Coral as of 15.30pm Mon Jan 17th 2022



    No other bookmaker or any exchange will form part of the competition.

    6. Only single or each way bets, including bets on a horse "to win any Festival race” or “betting without a named horse” will be accepted. A link must be provided to the odds on the relevant site if a bet on a horse "to win any Festival race” or “betting without a named horse” is submitted or the bet will be declined.The competition organisers reserve the right to refuse bets in cases where the advertised price is blatantly out of sync with other bookmakers and is probably displayed in error although if it can be proved the price was genuinely available it will subsequently be accepted. NRNB, Multiple bets and other special bets which relate to more than one race do not form part of this competition. A “thanks” at the bottom of each post is an indicator that one of the organisers (NewApproach or Diamond Geezer) has checked the bet and that it will be recorded.


    7. The place part of each-way bets will be settled at ¼ odds regardless of place terms offered by any bookmaker. This will include “to win any race” bets if a bookmaker offers each way prices.

    8. The minimum bet size is £250 win or £125 each way in November, December and January and £500 win or £250 each way in February. Any bet placed below the minimum bet size will be deemed invalid with immediate effect and the virtual stake returned. In the event a player wishes to increase their bet to the minimum bet size a new post must be made and the odds will be those available at the time the new post is submitted regardless of whether the odds have increased or decreased.

    9. The maximum cumulative amount allowed across the four months on any one horse in any one race is £1,500. Bets on a horse in the "to win any festival race" and/or “betting without a named horse or fav” market count towards this maximum.

    10. Once a bet has been submitted it cannot be cancelled or changed unless the rules demand it.

    11. The winner of the main prize will be the person whose final portfolio of bets generates the highest winnings.

    12. The Ante Post competition, as in previous years, will be run by NewApproach with the help of Diamond Geezer who also helps with any further administration or back up. In any unforeseen event the organisers will have the right to clarify, modify or add to the rules as they deem appropriate.

    13. Any disputes, the decision of NewApproach and Diamond Geezer, after consulting the sponsor, will be final.
    There will be four monthly threads for selections (November, December, January & February) containing a link to oddschecker.com stickied in the main body of the Horse Racing Forum on the last day of the preceding month, please use these for your virtual wagers as of 12.01am (UK time) on the first day of each month.

    PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY VIRTUAL BETS ON THIS THREAD WHICH IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.

    Notes


    We are discontinuing the prize for the most valuable pre Festival portfolio this year, as it involves a lot of work especially on the first day of March, which next year falls on a working day.

    As things stand, and in the absence of any sponsor, there will be no Winter Competition either this season.
