I found this game just has to many rounds and they are not on set days, it became a grind and you can’t do your entries when outside the UK as it’s geo restricted, furthermore it becomes a chore as to do well in a league like this you have to keep picking favourites/short priced horses if you want any chance to top the table in a private league and then trying to win a round in the overall game becomes pointless as if you do, so will half the country picking short priced favourites. This proved apparent when 1 TFP’er deleted his entry from this league three or so months in. I think he did not want to keep seeing how far he was behind as he was following a differnt strategy that in the end I started to do as well - that being picking horse names I liked regardless of the odds and thus for went my chance to make money as had I not done this from about three quarters of the way into the season am certain I would of maintained 2nd place. I also missed a fair few rounds killing my chance to compete for first place. The game became more of a pain having to remeber to keep checking when the next round openend almost every other day trying to remember to enter rather than being fun. I would like it much better if the game was just Saturdays and over big meetings over like 3/4 days for Cheltenham/Aintree etc. and over the holidays Xmas/NewYear etc.
Any way I have decided to just do a continiuos FREE league from now on that anyone can join so people can dip in and out of the game as they wish, follow any strategy of their chosing as there is no internal prizes - just try to win the national prize overall each round SkyBet put up and if you miss any rounds or just do the big festivals so be it, it really doesn’t matter - just being in my Free league gives you other names you might recognise to see how they did the same rounds you bother to enter.
I actually may look into running individual money leagues just on those big meetings like Cheltenham and Aintree - if I do I will try to advertise such on this forum and e-mail those in my ‘All Games’ or ‘Horse Racing fans’ contact lists.
