Gamesome was second at 5-2. No profit.

4.10 Ayr Archies advice

Altruism 4.25 Cartmel

Rt I didn't pick Gamesome on Friday I picked the lucky dip so I should have £3.44 profit as well.

Archie..knowing you are a stickler for the rules I had to do it by the book. It looks like you have fallen foul of Clause 28 old boy. Therefore..no profit for Friday...Sorry..but rules are rules.

Rt I have never herd of clause 28. You said you get a lucky dip if you don't pick a horse so I should get Fridays profit. I'm going for Cosette in the same race as your pick today.

Archie, don't confuse Clause 28 with Clause 23. They are two entirely different kettles of fish.

 Clause 23 of the CONGU Unified Handicapping System covers the “Annual Review” of rules and regulatations (these should be completed for all members,) and it gives guidance on “General Play” adjustments, If it is felt  that the profit is too  high, or low, and not representative of current rules of betting gamesmanship.. It basically allows members to protect against “bandits,” and to re-set the rules according to the occasion.
