Monthly Game Rules

Finding Stan James' Top Tipsters!

When you register for the Stan James Tipping Game you can play in the Monthly Game and set up your own Private League.

Any Monthly Game bets you place will be counted in all leagues you are part of. The Monthly Game is integrated with the UK & Ireland Race Cards and works as follows:

The Monthly Game will begin proper on the 1st April 2011
It's free to play and each month all registered users are issued with a bank of 300 virtual credits, you can keep playing in the Monthly Game until your score hits zero.
Players can bet 20 credits each day, with 5 credits being the smallest amount they can stake so this allows them to place up to 4 tips per day. They can select whether you want it to be an each way or a win bet.
All each ways bets will be settled at 1/4 odds for a place with the exception of non-handicaps with 8 or more runners, which will be settled at 1/5 odds.
Only one bet can be placed on each horse on any one day in the Monthly Game.
Each player must stake at least 50 credits per week (weeks running 1st – 7th, 8 – 14th, 15th – 21st and 22nd to end of each month). If that amount is not staked in the defined week an equal amount is deducted from their score
To be with a chance of winning a monthly prize members must select at least 20 tips that run in any month
To be eligible for a prize, members cannot place more than twelve 20pt win bets on horses with an SP of 16/1 or bigger in any one month.
Credits are staked by simply selecting a race from the race cards and choosing a horse and amount to be staked
Races close 30 minutes before official starting time
Competitors who select the winner will have their stake multiplied by the horse's starting price and added to their total score
Competitors who select a loser will have their stake subtracted from their total score
Competitors who select a non-runner will have their stake returned to them after the result for the race comes in
Scores are updated once the results come in
All results settled on Rules of Racing
In the event of any dispute Stan James' decision is final
In the event of a tie the winner is deemed to be the player that has picked the most winners. In the unlikely event of a tie at that stage we will provide both members with equal prize.
A new Monthly Game will begin at the start of the next month.
Fame and perhaps fortune await our Top Tipsters!
