No worries, bet its a nightmare to keep tabs on.

I only counted as I have a positive balance today for the first time!

My bet on the last has drifted from 14s to 33s too ::)

Off out for a curry lads.  Full scores and tables up later.

Great finish. Unlucky Bry.  Some good tipping today. One of the best weeks on this game for a while I reckon.

Thanks everyone, is the result weighed in yet, been waiting for a Stewards inquiry.  :)
Great comp Pete, thanks for running this again, makes Cheltenham even more special. many in with a chance going into the last race and could have gone anyway. unlucky Stephen and Byranod, my luck was in, can't wait for Aintree.

Congratulations to our newest RAWK Cheltenham Champion Tipster - OLDFORDIE :champ

After 8 years of trying, the once YoungFordie finally wins the holy grail of RAWK Cheltenham Tipster comps. Well played man :)

Starting the final day in 2nd place.  Fordie really needed our leader LFCstephen to have a bad day, and that's what happened.  Fordie himself managed a decent 48 points on Friday and held off some really strong challenges from Bryan, Robbie, naYoRHa2b, Kopite94 and the days top scorer with 80 points..Ad. 

The competition came all the way down to the final race and any number of race outcomes could have produced a different overall winner.  As it happened only Fordie scored with his 3rd place pick Hollow Games and he collected the 7 points along with the trophy.  Trophy presentation to come over the next few days.

See you all in a few weeks for the Aintree Tipster comp.  :wave

Commiserations to Mickitez who easily wins the Cheltenham Tipster FAIL award.   I'd like to say he missed a days picks or something, but he didn't.  A really well deserved trophy Micki lad :)
