Congratulations then to GLSDiamond, who certainly worked hard for the title, gaining Credits consistently well but without ever taking the lead until Final night. Well done mate

 

HUGE Credits lost by so many in this last GP...237,000 for Coventry fan full-throttle, who led before that.

An unbelievable night for Poole fans saw 50,500 lost by Shale Eater as well as 50,000 for Cougar Pirate, 28,573 for Crazy Munchie AND 20,278 for Dark Horse !!

Dark Horse, was in second place going into the last one...but for whatever reason, didn't place any bets and therefore dropped 10%...which did at least mean holding-on to runner's up spot. And well done with that, Dark Horse

 

Not many big winners...but new World Champion GLSDiamond gained 80,000. Leading lady London Witch won 41,800. But next best was just 4,350 (!) for Diamond Exile.

 

Only two people managed to get two Finalists ! Well done to Ruby Tuesday for picking Greg and Nicki, and to a lesser extent Britpete who went for Greg and Gollob.

 

A big thankyou from me to all of you who enjoyed taking part in this years competition, it's certainly been eventful...see you all in April

 

Cheers !

Congratulations to GLSDiamond on his win.

I'm happy enough with sixth place - I thought with young Turner being tight on Gollob's odds I'd not make the top ten.

However, thanks to young Turner for his season-long efforts.

Now, in the style of the great man, I'm going to consider my continued involvement over the close season.

[crazysue 613]

Huge thanks for this Steve, at least I managed to stay in throughout the whole series only to throw my usual caution to the wind in the final round and bet all bar 2 of my points......think in future I will stick to the careful route.

[GLSDiamond 6]

Well thats a bit of a surprise, honestly thought when Hampel went out that my chances had gone but good old Greg kept me at the races.

Cheers for the competition Steve its certainly been a tense one.

Just wish I had been putting the same bets on with Skybet, although knowing my luck I would have been out of the competition in round one

[Guest Schumi]

Congratulations to GLSDiamond and many thanks to Steve for running this. I had great fun, even though I wasn't much good at it.

[Dark Horse 1]

wayhey, wasnt a major lost, but now i wish i made that bet earlier and i probably could have been number 1, only got the speedway star on friday b4 i went to work and since i was working i hadnt a chance to make a bet, but im still number 2

[Silver Bee 57]

I'm hoping for better things next season than equal last

You weren't equal last - look at all the zero scorers beneath you.

[full-throttle 182]

congrats to GLSDiamond, and thanks to steve for running the comp.

 

 

just one thing, does third place qualify me for a free beer at brandon..lol

[Guest PanthersChamp06]

Thanks Steve for doing this, will have to think of a new plan next year to get points. Maybe alphabetical order

Join the queue!!

 

 

I'm not at all suprised loads of people lost big poitns or went out this GP. Lots of people took big risks to try and take the win.

 

Pepe Protasaweicz, LOL. Fools, fools!!! HaHaHa!!!

[smillie 0]

Congrats GLS Diamond, and thanks for running this steve!

 

13th is not unlucky for me, and Im realy happy with this performance

Mainly thanks to Greg, thanks hun

 

Im looking forward to next season already and I hope to be in the top 10!

[GLSDiamond 6]

I was as suprised as anyone to see my name at the top of the tree !!!

Thought about gambling all my points but then decided to keep some back.

Everyone else in the top 10 seemed to go s***t or bust for the win while I thought a top ten finish for my first effort would be a good result.

Cheers to Greg but also to the others who I managed to pick and see them come in the top 4. Just wish Jarek would be a little more consistant.

Well roll on 2007 when all of you can go gunning for the top spot.
