I just read the rules and you are sound and no need to quit, 
The rules state that the selection would have been regarded as a loser if it had won.
As it turned out it was beat and we both lost.
Apart from that yu did nothing wrong and there is nothing in the rules that says you should be disqualified.
Good luck in the final.

This is certainly the highest since I've done the admin, not sure about the years that Graham ran it originally, I'll have a scroll back some time!

An exciting finish with @roger2256 hitting the top spot with 9/1 Irish winner Woodstream Lad. This meant that long time leader @mick33 needed a winner in the last but his selection could only manage 4th.
Congratulations to the winner and the runner up and also 3rd placed @calva decoy

Congratulations to @CS 333 who wisely kept his powder dry over the last few days to take the title

 

Factually incorrect to refer to that as abuse. The rules of the competition are what they are and betting again when you can't be caught would be daft. You've got the job done early and obliterated the field. Whilst the competition will never be entirely true to real life (there are rules around minimum number of selections etc.) a rule that effectively compels you to bet every day rather than exercise selectivity and judgement would be a bad one. No one expects the clubhouse leader with an unassailable lead to go out and play another couple of holes.
This has been covered before and the overriding consensus was "if it ain't broke". Those people who don't like the "most winners" angle don't like it full stop. Apply a "no odds on" rule (again contrary to the real world where people are free to back or tip at whatever price they choose) and they'll just moan about how anyone can post a succession of even money shots and that's not "real punting".
If "anyone" can hit a 69% strike rate with a 38.8% ROI month in, month out by backing odds on shots then anyone who doesn't do so is frankly an idiot and not much of a punter to be leaving that sort of profit in the bookies' satchels.
Well there's plenty of scope to start or add to discussions in the daily threads etc. What gets me is someone who chooses to contribute little beyond entering a free competition (that they can't apparently even win a prize in) grumbling about the way said competition is run.

Final results:
A 16.8 final week treble catapults @Data right up to the top of the elite Division with Skittle and Bymatrix slipping up and sliding down the table with big losers.  @thebestthere also finishes with a win, @stuboy43 holds onto a podium spot despite a loss and @Xcout hops up one place to take the final prize spot by a reasonable gap.  Top 6 all made a season profit, the DIvision as a whole is in profit and is the only one with a profit for the final week, and no drops outs for no shows.  Well done Division 1
