Afternoon.
Today's report will need to be a bit brief, as I've been waylaid by a few matters this morning.
The Main missed by a few runners, & the Mini came in right on the number, those apart numbers were solid.
Talking of numbers, Forum traffic has been much better the last week or 10 days, more Posts, more Views & some great debates. Even yesterday's Results Thread was exceptionally high for a Wednesday as people got involved in various discussions. We do have a problem with Conspiracy Theorists, there's too much of it & none of it is ever "balanced". If they would demonstrate a bit of balance it would be fine, but they seem incapable. These people also do seem to have an awful lot of hate in them. Very sad. Anyway, we shall see, for now I'm just so pleased to see the Forum getting more active with well-balanced debates. Big thank you to all who contribute.
In Sport, I was a little surprised to realise that the Winter Olympics have started. I'm afraid I won't be reporting on them much, if at all, as they are not my bag at all, but hopefully others more enthusiastic will pick up the baton & ski with it.

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£910)
ACEJAYCE logged on, played 7 @ 7, won it, then logged off. Efficient. As it happens, they've won 7 @ 7 once before - in February of last year.
FeNdeR36 seems to be running into form, 5th in Tuesday's Main & 2nd here.
Going the opposite way - an unheater if you like - is Duesenberg, who as many of you know, used to be quite a decent player, but a rock star lifestyle seems to have impacted his game, & the best he could manage here was 7th. Shame really, as he is always so respectful of the abilities of other players.

clarke996 has some outstanding form, in a 4 day spell in December, he won Sunday Major, Sheriff & Predator Main. And, arguably, last night was even more impressive, as in addition to winning Predator Main again, he took Sheriff again too. Running hot, or what?JACKDAW, who has been moving up the pecking order recently, was 5th.
Down in 19th was Shrimpy, who was left feeling very sorry for himself when he was thoroughly outplayed in the hand shown below. Great play by littlepips if you ask me. Sometimes we just have to admit we got owned. He took it well though.

MAGPIETYKE secured his best result since winning a Quickdraw in Mid-December. If MAGPIETYKE & JACKDAW ever got heads up, who would win?
Much as it pains me to report, more evidence of the decline of Duesenberg here, as he not only pure bubbled, but did so via a shocker of a play. @Shrimpy28 @tonyp142 @UnEuropean @Super_Oli @Allan23 @MAXALLY & even @waller02 all safely navigated their way into the money spots, unlike our fallen hero. I really don't want to draw attention to his discomfort, so I'll say no more.

Shrenski does OK from small volume, less than 100 MTT's in the last 6 months. Picked up another £350 here, his best score since winning Gold Rush Min last July.
splashies was 5th, & @Shrimpy28 clung on by his chubby little fingertips to sneak into the Final in 6th.

Leg 2 of the spectacular Main - Sheriff double by clarke996.
5th was cabbaz, while as is so often the case, Swog flattered to deceive before finishing a disappointing 5th.

Bit of a fairytale win as Pogue takes Reload. Has finalled it many times but this was the first win as far as I can tell. Did win a Turbo last year though.

Very much a late night specialist, with multi-wins in Turbo, Quickdraw & MidEx, Neilio123 took this.
Tough podium too, with Crushy & Palace on the lower steps.

Cracking 24 hour win double for collin11, won Tuesday's Turbo & last night's Quickdraw.
Easily the toughest FT of the night too, with Crushy, cabbaz, Dog Bloke, tonyp, & Main & Sheriff winner clarke996 all battling for the win.

This day last year...
Wins for @tonyp142 @PKRPar & @heddoh18
The eye-catcher though was @MattBates who won Mega for the 4th time in just over a month. Those were the days. Once he lost his job at Sky, everything went downhill.
