NSC Naps Challenge - Whose in ?

[Pevenseagull]

£10 pledged, as with Hannibal Smith I won't be doing one everyday but I don't see that as a problem

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

10 so far this could be a serious pot of money worth winning. It will help to pay for my holiday 2004.

 

[Pevenseagull]

If there's 10 in it I guess you're going to be about 100-1



.......sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Spiros]

Gareth - count me in, although I tend to be better at identifying 'Bismarcks' rather than finding naps. Like others I won't be able to do every day but I'm happy to pledge a tenner. Just let me know who/how to pay.

 

[Padders]

I'll have a go.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

We have 12, thats £ 120 for me in May ! Superb.

I will confirm the entrants and rules ready for Monday am, will need at naps by 12pm each day and will do a league table each day with each naps thread.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Am I too late?

 

[Raphael Meade]

i'll be in for the tenner pot.

just one thing... whats a nap?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Deano , your in.

A nap is your best horse of the day which you think will win its race.

 

[Seagullsgonnagetya]

Count me in...pleeeease

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

14 and counting, I may be able to pay for my World Cruise yet.

 

[Raphael Meade]

gotcha! i guessed the predicting a winner bit!! hehe...

 

[Titanic]

With a decent prize pot developing, would it be a good idea to have a 1st (50%) 2nd (30%) and 3rd (20%) prize fund ?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Titanic

No I want it all !

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

I think I'll model myself on the Morning Star tipster of many years ago (maybe he's still going?) who would always tip 33-1 shots and therefore occasionally after a couple of wins would shoot to the top of the Sporting Life Naps table with a huuuge profit, but mainly languish pathetically at the bottom...

Morning Star, now here's a quality read, and sport coverage too!

 

[oapdodge]

Yes,good idea,count me in.Why not all put the tenner into a pot up front so we don't get any drop outs.We managed to put money in for the Butters appeal.Then we can set a start date and all those who have paid up are in the running.

 

[SeagullinKent]

Count me in

 

[Gwylan]

Good idea about setting the pot up first.

How are we going to run it; will it be the accumulative count of the amount we win without taking losers into account or will we take losers into account?

For example, I pick a winner at 5-1 and have £50 in the pot. The next four days I pick a loser: is my weekly total £50 or £10?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I think we should do it on overall profit over the season and not winners as someone who tips the favourite each day could win.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Everyone will commit to paying £ 10 to the pot and the winner at the end of the footie season will get £ 150. Can I suggest those going on the 29/11 give their £ 10 for safe keeping to Artois if he is happy with that.

The Naps challenge will start on Monday 25/11/03 and your nap need to be made by 12pm each day. I will start a NSC Naps thread each day and the league table will appear each day.

The winner will be based on the most profit made.

I may even arrange a small trophy with " NSC Naps Champion " to be given out at the NSC summer bash 2004.

We will have £ 10 each day to put on 1 horse to win only. I will work out the profit loss based on the SP.

Right Monday it is.

Any questions.
