Well done Salgar, great betting mate. Thanks again as always for sorting this out Pete, always look forward to it. Nothing between us this year mate 

[RedEire]

Well done lads, second day messed me up. Cheers for running this again Pete, always look forward to it!

[SKITTLE]

For those of you who like a bet on the football, take a look at the Betcher Bottom Dollar League betting competition here in the 'Betting, Drafts and Fantasy/Prediction Leagues' section of RAWK. New entries are always welcome and it provides a bit of fun throughout the football season and you can show off your betting skills. You can PM me for any info you need that you can't work out after having a look around our section. I'll get back to you with a short rules info sheet.

Ta.

10th overall, that'll do for me. I'll be back for Aintree. Good fun comp and well organised.


Thanks.

Cheers for running as always Pete, brilliant comp again!

Roll on Aintree, got the festival blues in a big way now!

Well done Salger. Great tipping.
Thanks Pete for all your hard work.
See you all next year.

[Mag Hull]

Well done all n thanks again for organising Pete.
Nightmare yesterday due to cock up with SCS delivering both carpet & new suite during the racing - tho took me mind off the lack of winners!
Apols to all for the tips not coming off, tho I still blame Ruby for Voix de Reve!
See you all for Aintree

Congratulations to Salger - The 2016 RAWK Cheltenham Tipping Champion!!!   

Always there or thereabouts from the start, Salger pulled back a 10 point lead to overhaul Zammo Magiure on the last day as our Day 2 & Day 3 leader crumbled under the pressure to finish a very creditable 3rd.  Both our winner and 3rd place had the ever present challenge from The North Bank to deal with, but deep down we all knew a runner up position was all that our Arsenal RAWKite expected anyway.

Shout outs to ever the bridesmaids and tipping contest regulars, Djibrilliant, Dioufy, LFCStephen and RedEire who once again played really well but fell short. 

This years Tipping fail award goes to KOTP.  He came....He tried....He failed!!

Only 5 players failed to post selections for at least 3 days so we finished with 51 players.  Cheers for sticking with it lads.

Final 2016 Leader-board


 

my decision to just pick a number for the last 2 days didn't go well then!! At least I had sense and on the course didn't  bet that way

[FlashGordon]

A great few days, feeling the effects of it now. Cheers for running this again Buck Pete.

[chromed]

Cheers Pete. Was a good week!

[ohweloveyerbaldyhead]

On a side note, this was my first year attending the festival. If you've never been it's well worth going. Atmosphere is incredible on course and great to go on the ale afterwards. Already booked next year!

[Red Viper]

26th out of 51. Couldn't be more midtable if I tried.

Cheers for sorting this out again Pete.

Thanks as always for running this Pete.I was just about to post my Friday
selections when news of the Europa draw came through and in the excitement I did not hit post.
Well done to Salger on winning this most coveted title .

[RobbieRedman]

Escaped relegation by a cats whisker last year! Not long now fellas, can't wait

[Buck Pete]

Ahhh Nice Bump Robbie.  I was going to do it myself next week exactly one month before 2017 festival.

In time honoured tradition the 2016 Fail trophy will also be presented to KOTP in this thread in recognition of his abysmal tipping last year.

2017 thread will be opened W/C March 6th.

[Barneylfc∗]

I thought I entered this last year, but looks like I didn't? Is there an Aintree one? Maybe it was that. I'll have a go at it this year though.

[Buck Pete]

Just under a month before Cheltenham 2017 gets underway so here is the RAWK Tipster fail trophy presentation for 2016.

Well played (or not so well played) KOTP

Cherish it.



New thread will be open in a few weeks

The daffs are sprouting and the birds are singing..
