R and R Bookmakers the worlds top Speedway Bookmakers !!! are pleased to announce the 2026 Beat the Bookie competition. This is the 14th year of the competition(where has the time gone !!) and again there is a prize for the winner. points for every GP 1st 20 2nd 18 3rd 16 4th 14 5th 12 6th 11 7th 10 8th 9 9th 8 10th 7 11th 6 12th 5 13th 4 14th 3 15th 2 16th 1 Positions 1st to 4th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the result of the Final (Heat 23). Positions 5th to 10th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the results from the Semi Finals (Heat 21 & 22). The 2 Riders who finish 2nd in each of the Semi Finals will be 5th and 6th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from Intermediate Classification 5th and the lower ranked rider 6th The 2 riders who finish .3rd in each of the semi finals will be 7th and 8th in the final meeting classification, with the highest rider from the intermediate classification 7th and the lower ranked rider 8th. The 2 riders who finish 4th in each of the semi finals will be 9th and 10th in the final meeting classification, with the highest rider from the intermediate classification 9th and the lower ranked rider 10th. Positions 11th to 18th will be according to the Intermediate Classification after 20 heats. The start amount is £600 - minimum bet per GP is £100 minimum bet per rider £50 The minimum bet doesn`t apply if total remaining is less than £100 - then all must be bet. THERE IS NO MAXIMUM BET IN 2026 Rules Each contestant MUST place bets in ALL the rounds -in the event of having no money left they are out of the competition All bets can be edited up to the advertised starting time of the meeting. If a rider is injured before a round starts then the bet is voided on that rider, or bets can be amended up to the meeting start time. If a rider starts a meeting but is injured and cannot continue THE BET STANDS but any points scored by the reserves count towards the injured riders score. If any rider is excluded for a starting offence the reserve points scored do not get added. To ensure fair play bets for the final round may be required to be PM`d to me instead of normal posting. If a meeting is called off at heat 16 then the spread will be adjusted to 4/5th`s of the original. If a meeting is called off at or after 20 heats the spreads stand. HOW TO PLAY One must bet on a rider to score MORE OR LESS than the spread-the HIGHER figure is taken for MORE bets and the LOWER for LESS bets-the mid between the two is what I expect them to score-and they add up to 146 which is the total points available in a GP Example Zmarzlik might have a spread of 15-17 for the 1st GP Player A might bet £100 HIGHER than 17) and he wins so would win (20-17)=3 X £100 = £300. If he finishes 4th he would lose (17-14)=3 X £100 = £300 Player B might bet £100 Lower than 15 and if he finished 8th(15-9 ) = 6X £100 would win £600. If he won the meeting he would lose(20-15) =5 X£100 = £500 A final message regarding the 2026 competition to you punters. M more value in 2026 U unique format from the no 1 Bookie G great prices S simply the best competition in world speedway

I like JK racecards but i`m not sure what Klaus is doing this season- i will ask him. In the meantime here is a blank GP racecard. It says Cardiff and there are 2 reserve names to alter but it will do the job perfectly for me in 2026 https://www.speedwayservice.at/images/racecards/2024/SGP2024-07.pdf

Gusts signs for Rzeszow and makes debut tomorrow in Poznan

They need to fulfil the rules for an U 24 in the 1-5. And they think they are better off using B Pedersen and Malkiewicz from 14 and 15( 6 and 7 ) to fill the rides.

Bank Holiday in Europe- meeting starts at 2pm UK time.

I still do as most of the 4 channels are filled with rubbish at the meeting time. Other Semi with no GB involvement fair enough. At the end of the day it’s all about selling HBO Max subscriptions !!!

1st SWC Semi-final in Landshut is a week away on Friday 1st May start time 6pm UK time. I have searched TNT Sports and cannot find it listed and HBO Max don’t appear to have a proper daily schedule( that i can find). Can someone else have a look ? Edit via TNT sports i have now found it listed on HBO Max only. With GB riding in the meeting and TNT having 4 channels i find it amazing that it’s only on HBO Max
