Prize Tipping Competition: Final Day
Well, that backfired massively! I thought I’d chosen the hardest trio of races on day four, and all three were won by the jollies!
Onwards, and into the final day. There’s still all to play for, and a new leader as SJWALKER03, aka Sam Walker, aka El Shanko surges into a near five point clear air from the pointless-in-two-days Big Al H, with Essexboy Mike Aston in third.
Tenth place, which if qualifying by being in possession of a 888sport account will get a prize, is currently occupied by players on THREE points, so even if you have a minus score at this time, a half decent winner would give you a shot at the prize board.
Tuesday’s Day FIVE (final day) races are listed below the rules, which you probably know by now, but are reprised for the good of everyone’s health.
Rules
1. Each day, or as many days as you choose to enter, you leave a comment at the bottom of the post with your selections for the nominated races that day. There will be three races per day, over five days. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday this week; and Monday, Tuesday next week.
2. Include in your comment your full name, 8 8 8 sport username, and your selections, by race.
3. You MUST have a 8 8 8 sport account – or register for one – to be eligible for this competition. Here’s a great incentive if you don’t yet have one.
4. The winner will be the tipster with the highest total profit to a 1 unit stake across the 15 races. You do not have to tip in every race but you will score -1 for each ‘no bet’ race. In the event of ties down the prize order, the highest priced winning selection will determine finishing order. If still a tie, the second highest priced winning selection will count, and so on.
5. The judge’s (i.e. mine!) decision is final
Prizes
New 8 8 8 Sport accounts (i.e. opened this week) qualify for free bet prizes, as follows:
1st – £120 in free bets
2nd – £60 in free bets
3rd – £40 in free bets
4th – £20 in free bets
5th – £10 in free bets
All 8 8 8 Sport accounts qualify for one of five extra prizes, as follows:
A copy of my forthcoming Under The Radar Trainers 2014 report (£27 RRP).
That’s a total of £250 in free bets and £135 in Geegeez prizes, so £385 worth of prizes 😀
To clarify, this competition is open to all 8 8 8 Sport account holders. You MUST have an account with 8 8 8 Sport to be eligible for any of the prizes, as per the above.

OK, if that’s clear, Tuesday’s last trio of races are:
2.30 Nottingham
2.40 Bath
5.45 Warwick
(The last leg could be a ‘get out stakes’ for some of you. It’s got 17 runners and the scope for an upset, so be bold!!)
Here is the current leaderboard.
Tenth place, which is worth a prize if held by a 888sport account holder, is just three points currently…
