15:35 Ascot: Dark Vision @ 12/1 Bet365

I have been given the sad duty to announce that the owner of Punters Lounge Paul Ross, better known to many as Sir Puntalot passed away in hospital last night after losing his battle with Cancer. He was 45 years old.
I have known Paul for nearly 20 years and many of the members got to meet him at various PL Race days and Poker tournaments.
He was a very good friend to me and was always there on the end of the Phone, Skype, Slack etc....
Paul was very straight forward and always strived to make Punters Lounge the best betting site on the internet, he knew this day was coming and has a team in place to carry on the good work and as he would say, its business as normal.
The funeral will be next week sometime which will be a small family affair due to the Coronavirus situation.
 
Many thanks for the continued support.

With the kind permission of Paul's sister Kayla we have named the KO Cup in memory of 'Sir Puntalot'
Without his drive and enthusiasm over the years the forum would not exist.
Good luck guys and gals
 

 
Rules for those who have forgot!
Top 25 finishers from the NAPS Final table will qualify, minimum required bets will be needed which is 15 All players will play in Qualifying Round and top 8 scorers go forward to next round. Pairings seeded from finishing position after qualifying, 1v8, 2v7 and so on. Matches will be played on each of the Saturdays of that month. 3 Selections required each round, plus reserves if you desire. 1pt Win or 0.50pt EW can be selected, if no stake included a win bet will be awarded. Player with most profit will go forward to the next round, if a tie, a playoff will be played on the following day. From the 2nd Round onwards we operate a First come first served basis, player can not have the same selection as his opponent in his 3 main picks, if this happens it will be regarded as a loser, reserves will not be used in this case. The deadline for bets to be posted is 2pm All 3 selections must be posted at the same time in one post, no 10 minute ruling but before the 2pm deadline. Once in the head to head stages Selections can not be changed once your opponent has posted. Multiple horses from the same race is allowed. Reserves can be added in case of NR's but not if you or your opponents bet has started, so it makes sense to post the reserves in the original post. Horses can be posted after the deadline if a meeting is abandoned for any reason which includes selections. Prices can be taken as per the NAPS Table rules. Winner of the Cup will win £30 via PayPal account. Runner Up will win £10 via PayPal account.

Sorry! Anyway the selection has failed and BH can consider it -1 for Friday

Naps Comp for April
Most of us are going through a difficult time at the moment and whilst taking part and visiting the forum is not on the top of the list of priorities for people, here at Punters Lounge we realise how much a bit of normality can help. We have members from all over the world and our thoughts are with everyone.
Racing like many other industries are struggling but we have taken the decision to carry on with the Daily Naps Competition and as a reward to our loyal members Paul is increasing the Prize Money on offer for the month of April.
The new proposals we spoke about will be coming in although we are going to leave out the KO Cup competition until May as it may be difficult for 30 players trying to pick 3 selections each on the 4th of April when we may have limited action.
The qualifying places in March will remain in place for the next KO Cup Competition. 
We will accept bets from any racing from around the world during April and all bets outside of Europe will be settled at the Industry SP which appears in the ATR or Sporting Life results section.
(*Racing Post publish dividend prices which will be different from the Industry SP)
We realise backing horses from the other side of the world is not everyones cup of tea and fully understand those that choose to sit it out until things get back to normal. 
I will continue to put the daily threads up and try and pinpoint what action is talking place. Just be aware of the off times, some US and AUS Racing will be very early in the morning.
Race times will be based on the UK 24 hour clock, anything after midnight will count towards the following day regardless of when the meeting started.
Hopefully in four weeks time we will have some better news, in the meantime we wish you all the best.
 
Prize Money For April
1st: £100
2nd: £75
3rd: £50
4th: £25
Tipster with most winners with at least £10 profit will receive a £50 bonus
All winners will also receive Punters Lounge Merchandise.
 
Many thanks

Irish gone now Sth Africa gone. (except Vaal on Friday)
I'll keep the comp going as long as people post so we are now on to America.
I'll accept bets on any US races as long as we get an industry SP in the Racing Post.
 
Gulfstream Park are racing 5 days a week along with Tampa Bay Downs.
**SP bets only in the United States**
I just cant rely on the historical odds.
