It may be me reading wrong but your rules gives me the impression that we can only bet on the outright of football/rugby results etc?

We thought that way for simplicity as checking things like last goalscorer, winning margins, HT/FT etc is not as quick as two clicks on Oddschecker

Go with the results which are giving on teletext/ attheraces results section.

I'd agree with that but I can see someone kicking up a fuss if theirs gets disqualified when in reality most bookies pay out on both winners.

Again it needs to be what the majority think.

I never thought about that - thanks for clearing it up.

Add my name to the list, I'm up for it

Making this simple is the key. I'm in, and I've made on average around 30 pound a profit a day for the last week, but I'm sure my luck will run out by monday.

Also, my strategy at the moment is backing low odds on the horses such as 11/10 and 4/5 etc etc, so I can't see me winning this competition.

Those rules sound pretty good to me.

What about if our selection is a non-runner etc? Break even for the day?

Somebody pm me when it's all sorted.

1 bet a day. Tips posted by 1pm.......tips can be posted the night before if you can not get on the net in the day but please mark in bold that they are for the following day to avoid confusion.

£10 mythical single.

Any sport. Odds must be offered by Bet 365 whose price will be the one that winnings are calculated on. You must quote the price and any handicap mark on your tip post.

Events must finish on the day it is posted (or overnight in the case of US sports)...ie no pre-golf tournament outrights, test matches etc for ease of compiling the results.

Horses and dogs win only. Greyhounds need to be named and if they are non runners the reserve will not count.

Football Home Win/Away Win/Draw only (90 mins).

Rugby, Speedway, US Sports. Handicap Singles or outright singles.

Darts, Snooker, Golf 2 or 3 balls win only (no handicap bets allowed).

Anyone got any problems with the above?

Yeah unless they re-post a selection before 1pm

like it

so when are we starting?

just one small point - during the day i am restricted to 1 till 2 on internet (my lunch hour) so can we make the deadline 1.30 - this will still be before most races

Perhaps we should make it 2pm (of course if you want one in an earlier race it needs to be posted earlier) but the way people use the net an after lunch cut off is sensible.


Start on Monday I think.
