    Doesn't make any difference to me ...but I think when it gets to the weekend stage of the comp , a lot of people will be well behind on points and a football match with pretty prohibitive odds might dissuade some from entering.
    If Saturdays was always a big horse race , then it would make things a lot more interesting , this could be put up the evening before, giving people plenty of time to select . Just my thoughts @Tikay10

    Yes, point taken, & I certainly considered that. In fact if the Puppy Derby has been televised we would definitely have taken that route. I also considered that the Midlands Grand National starts relatively early (3.30 ish?), which is before many people get time to visit the Forum. The work-round to that of course is to let everyone know the day before, or earlier. In an ideal world, and if I were better organised, I suppose I should list all 7 events, day by day, on the Monday the Comp starts. Note "if I were better organised"......

    In some ways it seems reasonable to, in a situation like this on Day 6, to "open it up" so that those without much chance of winning can get back in the mix. That's balanced by (trying to be) fair to those who have had a good week, got a great chance of winning, & would feel disadvantaged if we suddenly added a sort of "big odds" event.

    Hard to know what is the right way to handle this.

    If time permits we should start a separate thread to discuss this. (This exchange won't be seen by many, they just pop into the thread, place their bet & then leave).

    I've certainly got a completely open mind as to how we improve things & appreciate all sensible suggestions. My goal is to get more entries, which could lead to bigger prizes, & as long as we are as fair as possible to all, I don't mind how we get there.

    For sure, your suggestion would deffo rev the excitement up. Is it fair, though? If I were leading going into Day 6, I'm not sure I would agree. Of course, if it's made known in advance, then there can be no complaints.

    I thought maybe a correct score instead in the match might have been a good idea, and obviously people out of contention could have gone for a flyer and those near the top could have picked a more obvious correct score....... and it's easy to settle result too.
    Just a thought for the future 'coz I know how difficult the original tracking stats for people's choices must have been :#:s
