Olympics Betting Comp: The Race to 10k

It is time for another comp and once again thanks to Hanrick for putting up a R500 cash prize.

This comp will be a bit different from the “Last Man Standing” and will be the “Race to 10k”

Here is how it will work
• Each punters starts with R1000 virtual money for their 1st bet
• NB. This R1000 does not carry through to the next betting round should your bet land
• Each punter bets their R1000 on any Olympic event, the price must not be higher than 3/1
• Any winnings are carried forward as the balance into the next round. For example if you back a 9/10 shot and win your balance is R900.
• The balance will then be bet on another Olympic event and the total will be carried forward including the stake
• If your bet loses you are out BUT can re-enter the day after your best loses

How do you win
• The 1st punter to reach a R10k balance wins the R500 cash prize (overseas players can be paid by Paypal)
• If nobody reaches 10k the punter with the highest balance reached at any point will be the winner
• If Chris, Hanrick or I will play we will play for the house, if we win we will do another comp for the prize

To enter
• Place your bet on this thread showing the following information

Date, bet, price, bookie, end balance e.g

24 July: Cycling Road Race, Pogacar Podium at 23/20 WSB 1150/1000 (1150)

If this lands 1150 will be staked on the next bet (your entire balance must be staked on each bet)
If it loses the punter can re-enter but only for events from 25 July
NB: Always show your end balance should the bet win

Rules
• Bets must be placed before the event starts (no in-running bets)
• Price must be available at the time of placing the bet
• Players to keep their own balances and to carry them through
• Only 1 bet allowed per day
• You do not have to bet every day
• Single bets only
• No editing of threads
• Judges decision is final

Let me know if anything is not clear it should be good fun. The 1st bet is crucial as this will be the base balance you use to get to the 10k.

Yes and it must be 3/1 or less - then you carry winnings forward and must invest entire stake at each time

Still eligible to play? Late entries permissible?

I have absolutely no authority on the site but I start from Ground Zero tomorrow for the third day in a row which means there is virtually a level playing field with the less gifted punters. Welcome aboard and the very best of British

LOL spot on Vann - new emtries welcome at any time
