Exciting Hollywoodbets Special Challenge For Racing “Stars”

Devin Heffer is behind the Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge special competition for media workers and personalities which will run throughout April (Picture: Candiese Lenferna).

The Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge competition will host a new FUN competition for industry people whom Hollywoodbets addressed as “Racing Stars” and includes racing presenters, personalities, commentators and journalists – a competition where Hollywoodbets put the faces and voices of racing up against each other, competing on every South African race meeting, covering KZN, Western Cape, Gauteng, and Eastern Cape.

The players will thus be able to vie for bragging rights such as pitting Gauteng vs Eastern Cape vs KZN vs Western Cape. Different racing publications up against each other. Which commentator calls them the best. The list is endless.

It is sure to create a bit of banter between the different centres, and hopefully bring these industrymen even closer together.

It will also give punters the opportunity to measure themselves up against the experts.

As well as a daily competition, there will also be a weekly competition for all of these media people and personalities, with bigger prize money to make it even more exciting!

For the 30 days of April, there will be R500 up for grabs for the winner of each race meeting. Winner takes all!

There will also be R3,000 in prize money for the weekly competition, with R2,500 going to the weekly winner with the most points, and R500 to the person with the most winners for that week.

Therefore there is a share of R27,000 to be won in April!

The game weeks will run as follows:

Week 1 – Sat 1st April to Sun 9th April

Week 2 – Mon 10th April to Sun 16th April

Week 3 – Mon 17th April to Sun 23rd April

Week 4 – Mon 24th April to Sun 30th April

There is also of course the main prize money up for grabs for any who finish in the Top 20 of the public competition (R5000), as well as the Massive Jackpot for selecting every winner on the card. The Massive Jackpot is based on the amount of actual runners on the day x R10,000 per runner (so 70 runners = R700,000 jackpot bonus). Remember you double your prize winnings if you have taken bets via the Punters Challenge betslip for the minimum of R50.

To date there have been 5 winners of the massive Jackpot prize:

Rakesh – R2,325,000 (Dec 2021)

Devo – R2,000,000 (Oct 2022)

Alan B – R1,500,000 (Jan 2023)

Blaikes – R1,275,000 (Feb 2023)

*Stop Press – Another R540 000 was won yesterday by two clever punters (Devon P and Narsadu) on Wednesday 29th March at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Read here!

A daily log with results for each meeting will be published as well as a consolidated log with the results for the week. This will be shared via Sporting Post and the Hollywoodbets blog, as well as by Turf Talk and other media outlets.

Hollywoodbets will also get this out onto GallopTV.
