Was a terrible week for us poor punters that's for sure. Probably shouldn't have gloated so much last week
The well-booted bookie boots back!

A new leader at the top! Well done to Dave. But can he stay there until the end? A new event may have to be opened. On the Virtual Glitterball winner. It would need to be a separate event though, with bets not affecting the running totals.

After last year I never thought we would see the day when I was winning. I feel like Ed Balls does right now

That is a little bit better! Now that I am within touching distance of being even, I will be looking to climb that table RAPIDLY.

Just like a good racehorse with a top jockey - timing my run to go from last place to first right on the line!

Just thought I would re post this showing my correct position on the leaderboard, just moving nicely up to mid position ready to take the race right on the line!

Also corrected Davethorps position as he moves down from number 2 to mid table.

Christmas is coming, and the Bookie's getting fat
Please place a monkey in the bookies bag.
If you haven't got a monkey, a Pony will do,
If you haven't got a pony, then God bless you.

Merry Christmas to all virtual punters!

Why not indeed, dave???
From bottom of the table last year with a £8,620 deficit to top the table this year with a profit of £1,725, a turn around of £10,345, isn't bad going.

Thanks to all for the fun, am glad to have finished with a positive balance this year after a dismal showing last year.

Congrats to Dave on an error-free spoiler series and on topping the punter list

Thanks to OldShep for keeping us all straight and for keeping a close eye on the bookie

And biggest thanks to Johnny for running the books every week and giving us all great fun

Happy Christmas to all. And may all our New Tear resolutions be to break the bookie in 2017
