THE £10 to £100 challenges and others have proved popular here and on the main site.
As part of our March Madness Giveaway I decided to take on Gold and Silver members with real cash at stake.
No one reached the target so I let members play against each other for the chance to win and two have made it to the magic mark – jstuhhs and stewartbiddle.
Stewart tipped Basel to win on Wednesday to go through the £100 barrier while jstuhhs fell at the final hurdle.
So Stewart won £100 but in the spirit of the game went double or quits on Sevilla to win for £200 so ends up with nothing. However, if he emails me at mrfixit@dailyrecord.co.uk I'll fix him up with a free bet.
This contest has been self-policing and I want to thank everyone for the updates. I'm up to host another challenge for members if anyone has any ideas. But it can't be too time consuming and may have to be self-policing once again.

English Championship
Middlesbrough v Reading
Boro to keep a clean sheet.
£58.73 @ 10/11 ( Ladbrokes)
Returns £112.12
In homage to my work mates Pete and Stan who are massive Boro fans I pick this one for them to hopefully get me over the line.
I’m normally a goals fan and follow Greg and Jordan so this goes against what I prefer. But hey it’s only a competition.
I see earlier @mungomagic pointed out that Boro had only shipped 6 goals at home all season.
Never sure with Boro and instead of the win to nil which pays slightly more I’m plumping for the clean sheet option.
Good luck on your tips guys.
Cmon the Boro.
Mr F
what are the rules if more than one of us three go through the magic £100 barrier.
Is it a sudden death shootout…….
Good Luck to stewartbiddle and dalian-shide.
Hope ta least one of us wins.
Trev,…
jstuhhs, that’s right. If more than 1 makes it you can play on until it’s last man standing.
Excellent I thought it was but needed to clarify.
Hopefully all three go through.
Trev,…
Looks like we are now down to two
stewartbiddle and myself.
Let the best man win
Mr F
Are the rules the same for the sudden death
Please advise
Trev,…
jstuhhs, thanks for the update – rules are exactly the same.

congrats to everyone else who entered the comp and congrats to jstuhhs for also making it over the 100 pound mark
thats all from me apart from come on SEVILLA!
stewartbiddle, they should win so good luck with that and nice to see you taking the gamble.
Right, off to work.
Good luck stewartbiddle – glad someone finally made it to the magic £100 mark – will keep my fingers crossed for you tonight
Boooo – unlucky Stuart – Mr F wins !!
As you still have this 200 burning a hole in your pocket @mr-fixit – are you thinking of another self policing competition along these lines ?
kingdingaling, I was rooting for Stuart too – it’s not my money!
I’ve said on the post to give us some ideas but yes up to doing something.
Was gutted sevilla let me down i knew it would be the other one i choose ha ha
stewartbiddle, same for me really – picked winners on the other three ties.
Sevilla keeper was shocking though.
