Draw was made by Gary Swettenham @ The Farley.

Due to a massive 7 withdrawals in the last day the field is down to 29.
Waiting for a reply from a couple of reserves.
Any late entries will be pulled out of the hat... Nelio (1). Harry (2). Paul (3).

---

Why are all the byes in the same half of the draw?

---

The way they came out of the hat Sass. Luck of the draw.
We hope by Sunday that there will be no byes.
Waiting for a couple of people who ask to be reserves to get back to me...

---

what are the prices after the draw, I must be at least 66/1 now

---

Hope so. I guess that knowing that you won't be facing Altes, Halligan etc until the final will make it that little bit more appealing! :)

---

Tony Bailey has paid for one of the 3 remaining places.
His name will go in the hat to be drawn on Sunday.
Next 2 to pay will join him in the draw.

---

You clearly know very little about gambling / odds... Would have thought at least 70/1.

---

whats happened to steve f couldnt he get his cue back in time,and i was going to have a bet on steve:)

---

and franie:no:

---

What's happened to all the boys from the Red Deer Eagles?

Not complaining mind! I'm sure I played Arthur a few weeks ago!!
Top half of the draw looks horrible!!!:mad:

---

Luke Willsher. Takes one of the final 2 places.
Jon Porthero takes the final place.

---

As with any ante post bets you might place in the bookies you do not get refunded if a horse/player is withdrawn before the draw.
Im sure it was beyond your control why you had to pull out. Have a chat with Dave when you see him ok?

---

Talk to Dave mate im only setting the odds.

---

Took this from a well known betting site.

Ante-post bets are accepted at quoted prices, up to and including the day prior to the event, on the basis of all in, run or not, entered or not .Therefore selections not taking part in the race/event concerned are losers. Ante-post bets are those placed at our quoted prices on horses and prior to the race becoming classed as ?Day of Event? (Day of event is a term used to describe the time at which overnight declarations are made, .All bets placed after the overnight declaration stage are settled in accordance with our Early Prices/Day of Race Rules.

I laid ?10 on Jacko @ 12/1. ?60 on Jacko @ 10/1. ?100 0n Sean @ 7/2. ?50 on Andy Shaw @ 12/1. ?40 on Knocky. I laid these bets on the basis of players entered, bets laid.
No way would they have been at such odds if i had known what players where pulling out. Non the less i cannot go back to these players now and say " Sorry as people have pulled out" I have to change the odds i offered you.
Thats the risk you take with Ante Post Betting. In the event of any of the players with big bets on them win i will honour all bets laid at the prices quoted at the time.

---

Sounds fair to me.

---

Had all those who have pulled out paid their entry fees (other than me of course)?

---

2 Paid... 5 Not Paid...

---

what is the min age to enter?

---

There is not one.

---

I already said to Dave that I would cover my bet on myself and the entry fee. No problem with that, my fault for not attending.

I knew my bet on Shaggy was a risk, but I thought the most likely way it would be knobbled was going to be self-induced alcohol poisoning.

I didn't take the stupidity of the 'horse/donkey' I backed into account.

No problem with stumping up the ?10 anyway, fully understand the way it has to work.

Shaggy, you are an oaf!
