Thanks to all for the congrats - special commiserations to Naresh - not sure that many were aware that had Senso Unico won the last, he would have been the winner - I even had a small cover bet on that one to just get something back if SU got his head in front :huh:

As per the format of the competition, I have always maintained that the format was fair as it reflects punting ability in the real world - surely those who backed either Mr Cobbs, Al Muthana or Crome Yellow would have come way out in front - certainly a bigger profit than those who backed Princess Calla or Make it Snappy (for example)

I just feel that whoever has the guts to host the next one, should consider having a 'bonus' for selecting individual winners (though on Saturday it would have taken to quite a few 'fancied' winners to offset the like of Mr Cobbs, Al Muthana and Crome Yellow - but I think the theory is sound). I think the concept of a 'double' is also fair, although it could be an idea to give a choice on whether an individual would rather prefer a 'best bet bonus' as opposed to a straight-forward 'double' - as an example for those selecting the 'hotties' it would be preferable to earn a 'best bet bonus' rather than just doubling up on a 5/10 shot

FRODO - there is some merit in what us say here - but i think the bigger problem is calculating the results timeously & speedily after each & every race .
