HERE

Total failure from me on these overall updates at the moment, but here is the overall standing at the top after week 9.
@corky had yet another win to make it 8 in total (only loss in week 3) and can only be equalled potentially by @HERE currently on 7 and absolutely romping away with the top bank since week 3.  
@Cuko currently holds the record for the biggest odds win at 38.628 in week 9 just beating @bymatrix on 38.2 in week 7.   Cuko is also next best again with a 24.403 in week 2.  These are actually the only successful bets over 20.0. 
Of the players left playing now, 96 have had at least one win with only 11 still looking for that elusive winner.  We have had 285 winners in total from our 126 starters.  Every Division is currently in profit.  Magnificent results all round.

31 winning bets this week and nearly £1000 overall profit.

Apologies, I've never confirmed the updated prize structure following the adjustments to the number and size of Divisions we have.  Keeping the overall season prize at £700 I've added a 4th place payment to Divisions 1 and 2 and added a fiver on 1st and 2nd prizes in Division 1.  This reflects the fact that it takes 2 seasons hard graft to get you to the top of the top tier, allocation being based on the previous season's results.  
I'm also introducing 2 'spot' prizes for this season (as you didn't know about them!) for the player(s) with the most number of wins over the season and the player(s) with the highest odds win during the season.  These are not profit or stake related.  The idea of this is that these potentially will be different players to those in the normal prize positions at the top of the Divisions.
 
Div 1: £80, £55, £30, £20
Div 2: £60, £40, £25, £15
Div 3: £50, £35, £20
Div 4: £40, £30, £20
Div 5: £35, £25, £15
Div 6: £35, £25, £15
Edit: if Div 5 & 6 are merged into one due to numbers there will be a 4th place of £10
Most wins: £15 (or shared)
Highest odds win: £15 (or shared)

I haven't had the time to update my systems so I'll just stick to a 5 year old system, as November and December are the 2 best months.
A profit has been made over the last 8 years by backing the selections blind (to proportional stakes) with a profit made in each of the last 4 years. The AE is 1.05.
I have added some criteria to reduce the number of selections, the main ones being
Forecast odds < 50/1
Career starts < 18
Not top weight
In the last 8 years there have been 2,137 winners from 16,043 winners with a profit of 1,410 points at BSP. The AE is 1.10.

Good luck all. I'm thinking we'll change the rules to go to 12 weeks at least so we'll get there and see where we are.

If everybody that is left in this could do the following for me :
THANKS to this post if you want to keep it the same
LAUGH to this post if you want to continue until one winner
CONFUSED to this post if you want to continue until UPTO 10.
SAD to this post if you want to continue until UPTO 5
I can see each member's reaction so we'll do that and go with the majority.
