Looks like my change to Reuters is costing me places on the leader board.

Reuters, no news is bad news. Have a glass of what you fancy to cheer yourself up.
I'll have a Whopper with Cheese, or maybe some KFC, maybe fish and chips. No, I've decided, fricks with French fries. Yummee

Early lunch I think. Two large pork chops, mashed potatoes gravy and some onions and greens followed by treacle tart (no custard - extra treacle). Washed down with a bottle of red wine.
Interesting comment Socs - no news is bad news. Is that a general rule or just a rule for Reuters? Oh, Reuters is a news purveyor isn't it - you were having a leetle joke, yes?

Hello all.
I thought i might start up a Horse Racing Game just for fun as usuall. If you take part i will start each punter off with say 5000 and will select a horse race that is due to be shown on TV at the weekends. You make your bets and win or lose accordingly to the actual outcome! Does anyone fancy the idea?????????

All choose same horse? well everyone will have on different bet amounts and either win or eachway and maybe punters can bet on as many horses as you like in one race maybe even do an accumulator?

Actually it will be interesting to see if the 'in the know' horse punters can out perform the 'pick a nice named horse' punters. Idea is still in early thought stages so we shall see what comes up!! (no not that!)

poochy.....like horse bet idea but have to admit complete ignorance as to what an 'each-way' bet is. Could you please do an idiot's guide to the jargon for those of us who might be more clueless than you might have imagined? (Could you please post which ones have blue eyes and are smiling for the cameras? Thanks)

Never mind the details just keep looking at the eyes.

Forgot, sometimes they cover up the horses eyes, I know why now: just to make it difficult for the ladies.

Even I know that is plain nonsense. They wouldn't be able to see where they are going.
