R and R Bookmakers  the worlds top Speedway Bookmaker !!! are pleased to announce the 2024 Beat the Bookie competition.

This is the 12th year of the competition(where has the time gone !!)  and again there is a prize for the winner.

 Positions 1st to 4th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the result of the Final (Heat 23).

Positions 5th to 8th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the results from the Semi Finals (Heat 21 & 22).

The 2 Riders who finish 3rd in each of the Semi Finals will be 5th and 6th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from Intermediate Classification 5th and the lower ranked rider 6th .

This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 6th in the final meeting classification.

The 2 Riders who finish 4th in each of the Semi Finals will be 7th and 8th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship  Intermediate Classification 7th and the lower ranked rider 8th .

This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 8th in the final meeting classification.

Positions 9th to 18th will be according to the Intermediate Classification after 20 heats.

As i get older i am getting more confident that my spreads are top notch !! 

Therefore in  2024  out have gone the gimmicks !!!

The start amount is £600 - minimum bet per GP is £100 minimum bet per rider £50 The minimum bet doesn`t apply if total remaining is less than £100 - then all must be bet.

THERE IS NO MAXIMUM BET IN 2024 

 

Rules

Each contestant MUST place bets in ALL  the rounds -in the event of having no money left they are out of the competition

All bets can be edited up to the advertised starting time of the meeting.
If a rider is injured before a round starts then the bet is voided on that rider, or bets can be amended up to the meeting start time.
If a rider starts a meeting but is injured and cannot continue THE BET STANDS but any points scored by the reserves count towards the injured riders score. If any rider is excluded for a starting offence the reserve points scored do not get added.
To ensure fair play bets for the final round may be required to be PM`d to me instead of normal posting.

If a meeting is called off at heat 16 then the spread will be adjusted to 4/5th`s of the original. If a meeting is called off at or after 20 heats the spreads stand.

 

HOW TO PLAY
One must bet on a rider to score MORE OR LESS than the spread-the HIGHER figure is taken for MORE bets and the LOWER for LESS bets-the mid between the two is what I expect them to score-and they add up to 146  which is the total points available in a GP

Example

Zmarzlik might have a spread of 15-17 for the 1st GP

Player A might bet £100 HIGHER than 17) and he wins so would win (20-17)=3 X £100 = £300. If he finishes 4th he would lose (17-14)=3 X £100 = £300

Player B might bet £100 Lower than 15 and if he finished 8th(15-9 ) = 6X £100 would win £600. If he won the meeting  he would lose(20-15) =5 X£100 = £500

He has signed in Denmark but hasn’t ridden yet- basically i would imagine he is too expensive and frankly is not very good these days.

Not a problem- advantage is all with the punters who can if they want to watch qualifying, see how quick each are, whereas i have to put up the spread a week before and it’s all about intuition and enticing  the  punters to have a bet on a particular rider.

most punters back more but figures show it’s a better bet to back less- here endeth   the lesson on spread betting !
