Epsom Derby Festival Challenge Rules

The Rules are quite straighforward:

The Epsom Derby Festival Challenge takes place across Fri 31 May tp Sat 1 Jun. Each day is a mini competition with a £25 free bet prize for the winner.

Separate Competition prizes will be awarded to the tipsters with best profit across the overall competition period; 1st Prize – £75, 2nd Prize £50, 3rd Prize £25. There are also £25 free bet prizes for best winning strike rate and best NAP performance.

Staking: Five point betting bank for each day. You must spend all of your bank in each day. Win and each-way bets acceptable. Win stake will be 1 point with the each way stake being half this at 0.5 points.

Non-runners will be treated as no bets and the stakes refunded to the bank, except in the last race of each day where any bank under expenditure for reasons of non-runners will be over-looked.

Daily Prizes, Competition Prizes and NAP Prizes will be calculated on retained profit.

To qualify for a Competition prize, you must take part in each day of the competition. Strike Rate prize will be calculated on win bets only. To qualify, NAP selections must be made in the appropriate Forum thread before the relevant race.

To receive your free bet prize within one working day, send us your BetVictor account number and email address used to open the account to [email protected] in advance of the competition starting. Otherwise, free bet prizes will be settled within ten working days.
