racers and royals

BSI have announced that the Cardiff start time has reverted to 5pm

Congratulations to the speedway Star for another superb preview edition. Seems to be a lot of new faces this year in the fans view part of the teams preview-any forum members amongst the 23 featured ? Will Manchester Paul find anything wrong with it ? looks like we will have to download the mini-max race card (or an alternative) for Saturday`s GP as the Star didn`t have room for it in this week`s publication.

Just a reminder if you want to take part you must enter before the first GP this Saturday.

Top qualifying £50 on Pedersen please.

This is a "sterling " competition-none of that "mickey mouse " money here

Wrong i believe from the rule book 15.1.1 No Interval shall be taken before the conclusion of Heat 10 (15-heat League Meeting) or Heat 12 (20+ Heat Individual Meeting), except where the Referee deems it necessary A referee always can decide not to have an interval especially in a bad weather situation.

It explains here why the decision has been made now http://www.speedwaygb.co/news.php?extend.19323

Better try and win my own competition £200 Bunyan LESS

Sadly i don`t know of one however i have been communicating with one of the top streamers to stream GP`S,Poland,Sweden and Britain and hopefully it will happen.

And 443 (which rather spookily was the time of your post)

My £100 is on Nicki Pedersen to be world champion.

Can`t understand where this ITV4 stuff is coming from-another hint in today`s Speedway star "Eurosport is fast becoming the must have channel for Speedway" I say again it is on British Eurosport.

I`m so excited-only 225 hours to the first race.

It`s going to be on British Eurosport-it`s on their schedules under superbikes but it`s definately the GP

Thanks for the clarification-the coin toss has given us some entertainment in the past,i think it was last season the Polish ref tossed the coin,it went on the floor and down the drain !!!

Sadly i wont be able to personally recover loses over £200 so for the first round bets upto £200 and after the profit and loss is totalled up if the overall loss is £200 or over entrant is out of the game-anyone with a balance can bet all that on the 2nd GP etc-so to answer your question all 3 bets stand and total is worked out at end of the GP. the entrant who has had £200 on ward could make shedloads on the first GP but spread betting is risky and he also could be out of the competition after Auckland.I like to think of myself as quite a good judge so we will see after the first GP how wrong my spreads were-incidentally all the mid spreads added together come to 138 which is the total points scored at a GP.

Only one thing i would like to add-i was watching live on the internet- was that the Wroclaw track was not great that day and in the precedeing races exiting the 2nd bend was causing problems to the riders.

Yes you can edit the original post as long as it`s before the first race. I hoped the 3 examples might suffice -however here goes. Take any rider in the first GP Tai Woffinden-his spread is 3 ---- 5 If you think Tai is going to score MORE then it`s 5 pts is your base figure and you bet per point ie £5 per point and if he scores 7 you win the difference between 7 and 5 x £5 which is £10 If he scored 4 you would lose 1x£5 if he scored 3 you would lose 2 x £5 If you think Tai is going to score LESS then its 3 pts as the base figure and if he scored 1 you would win 2 x £5 You must bet £10 minimum per GP with £5 minimum per rider-so you can do 1 rider at £10( per point )or two riders at £5 ( per point ) the maximum is the amount of money available to you (start £200).

However the BSPA in their announcements post conference only said-missing D/U replaced by PL guest,so have they had 2nd thoughts about riders in the 1 to 5 ?

R and R Bookmakers invite you to take part in this new prize competition. Spread betting is fun yet requires skill and nerve-the more you are right the more you win,however the more you are wrong the more you lose. you have to choose if the rider you want to bet on will score MORE or LESS than my spreads.The smaller number is the LESS and the bigger number is the MORE(the number in the middle is what i expect them to score and is my margin!) The person with the most money at the end of the 12 GP`s wins the prize-it will be worth winning as people who know me say i am generous to a fault ! Each entrant starts with £200 MINIMUM bet per GP £10(per point) MINIMUM bet per rider £5(per point) GP 1 Auckland New Zealand start time(uk time)Saturday 23rd March 3am NB maximum points available is now 21(no double points in final) Pedersen 12--- 14 Holder 12--- 14 Gollob 10--- 12 Hancock 10--- 12 Sayfutdinov 10--- 12 Hampel 9------11 Lindback 9----- 11 Jonsson 8---- 10 Ward 8----- 10 NKI 7----- 9 Vaculik 7----- 9 Lindgren 6------8 Kasprzak 5-----7 Zagar 5----- 7 Woffinden 3----- 5 Bunyan 1----- 3 Example A player 1 thinks that age is catching up on Hancock and Gollob and has £5(per point) on each to score LESS than 10 -Hancock scores 8 and gollob 7 so he wins Hancock(10-8=2 X£5) and Gollob(10-7=3 x£5) so he wins £25 However if hancock scored 15 and Gollob 12 he would lose(15-10=5 x£5 and (12-10=2 X£5) so would lose £35. Example B player 2 thinks Ward will def score more than 10 so bets £10(per point ) MORE-he scores 14 (14-10= 4 X £10) so wins £40 however Ward struggles and scores 5(10-5=5 x£10) and loses £50 Example C player 3 thinks Bunyan has no chance of troubling the scorers and has £100(per point)Less than 1 he scores 0 (1-0=1 x£100)he wins £100 however Bunyan scores 3(3-1=2 X£100)loses £200 and is out of the competition. Rules if a rider withdraws through injury any bet on that rider is void(edits can be made upto start time) If a rider is injured during a meeting points scored by the reserves will be included in that injured riders score. if the result of a meeting is called at any stage after 20 heats the spreads will stand If the result of a meeting is called at the completion of 16 heats the spread will be adjusted to %80 of the orginal.

i agree but did they have 2nd thoughts-because that wasn`t what they said in the press release post conference.
