BEST of the BETS

All prizes have now been sent out – congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to everyone who took part!

I massively underestimated how much work was involved in scoring every game, especially with the different kick-off times and time zones.

All I can say is thank goodness for the Mexicans! They seemed to be the team I judged best from the opening game and probably saved my competition!

I can't say it was the most thrilling World Cup overall. It felt a bit of an anti-climax in the end, but I hope everyone enjoyed the competition and I'll hopefully be back with another one soon.

Thanks again, everyone. ⚽

Well Done H4C :clap:

No problems Ribot.

I will PM you all today for Paypal details.

Thanks

JT

The winner is myself Jack Trotter and we have a tie for 2nd place between

ganners
horses4courses
Ribot

Now, because we do not have a tiebreaker, can I suggest that the three players in second ganners, horses4courses and Ribot do a play off for the second prize of £25 or I can split it between the three ways call it £10 each.

or

If you would like a play off lets choose the meeting at
Ascot tomorrow
select three races each from any on the card and make a winning selection in each.
The player with the most winning selections wins and in the event of a further tie the winner will be chosen by the next best with placed horse down the fields in the three races.

What would you like to do guys?

JT

Right folks here is the final table.

Apologises for the delay.

I will score this tonight guys. I have been away. :up:

Honesty H4C, it would not be so bad if we were on the same time zone.

Couple that together with a very busy couple of weeks with everything generally for me and it can be a nightmare.

Thank goodness we are down to the 32 / 16 teams area much easier to get a visual on things. :up:
