AS if things weren't difficult enough on Day 11 one match was postponed meaning there were only four fixtures to choose from and only one of the remaining six members managed to pick a winning selection. That leaves just two members standing as we go in to the final day of the competition.
Day 11 Round-Up
@hellobad was the only member to call any of the results correctly on Day 11. His 5/4 shout on Nice landed as they won 1-0 against Montpellier. That was enough to win @hellobad the Daily Prize of a £150 free bet at Skybet.
Hard luck story of the night goes to @sean567 who had backed the draw at Morton but a last-minute penalty for Raith scuppered his 5/2 selection and ended his participation in the competition.
Also exiting the competition were @dazzyy, @jpq and @andrewklcc who couldn't find a winner. Well done to all those guys for making it this far in the competition.
@greaves was also on a loser having opted for a Morton win but he's still in with a chance to scoop the £500 Grand Prize due to the fact he's not used his Second Chance card yet.
So who can win?
The two members still in the competition are @hellobad and @greaves. Here's how the final day can pan out …
Scenario 1. @hellobad has 11/11 winners (@greaves has 10) so if he can choose one more winner he'll be guaranteed to take the top prize.
Scenario 2. If @hellobad doesn't find a winner, @greaves has the chance to pocket the £500. He must pick a winner. That would leave both men on 11 winners out of 12 and the accumulated odds of their selections would then come in to play. Currently @hellobad is on £166.22, whereas @greaves is on £170.69. That means any kind of win for @greaves, if @hellobad loses, would see him win the Grand Prize.
Scenario 3. If neither men find a winner, @hellobad will win the Grand Prize. Effectively @greaves would be out of the competition, while @hellobad would still have his Second Chance card to play.
Day 12
On to the final day of the competition where two members are potentially just one correct result away for landing a £500 free bet at Skybet.

Best of luck to both of you.
Surely if they both pick the same there’s only one winner, it needs to be sent to you then revealed once both have submitted selectiond
Best of luck gents. It’s been a great competition and I’m gutted to have fallen at the final hurdle with a last min penalty. May the best man win
Hi Sean, just to make matters worse, it looked a very soft penalty from where I was sitting, I would like to see a reply of it.
Mr John Mckendrick, the worst referee I’ve ever witnessed.
He’s been brutal any game I’ve saw him.
I don’t usually slaughter ref’s, but he is murder. lol
oozie, was a definite penalty I’m afraid.
I heard that today mate, I’ve still not saw it, but one of my pals watching Alba said it definitely was.
Best of luck to you both, it’s been great fun, I will watching the results today with interest!
Good luck lads, whoever wins.ile be round later……with my begging bowl ?? :)
Good luck lads, top effort. Panned out perfectly almost having it basically a straight shootout
Best of luck lads – both have done great
Everton Win 1/1
Gl greaves and thanks for all your gls and for a great competition. I’m happy to split the £500 in some way to so 2nd place can get a prize to if possible!
Fair play @hellobad and good on you for going first.
We’re happy for you guys to come to an agreement on a split. Do you want to suggest what the split should be?
I’d be happy with £350 for the winner and £150 for 2nd place
hellobad, well done and that’s a good shout. Let’s hear what your rival says.
Good look both been a great comp and even tho ive been out of the last 4 rounds still been following all the way like the idea of the split both deserve something
21/22 selections correct!! Wow
I’m cashing in on the double today :)
Good luck lads
craigo, it’s been some tipping and good to see the spirit of fair play too.
Good luck the both of you,really enjoyed the competition,even more gutted now after seeing the penalty Birmingham had,it hit the guys nose.
Since when an arm has been part of your face I will never no.lol
Nice idea hellobad, fair play to you. Maybe all future comps like this could have a prize for the top 2 or 3?
Good luck to both
jpq, more of our competitions would have runners-up prizes but this one had daily prizes and we wanted to give away something substantial to a winner as it’s Xmas.
Fair enough Mr Fixit :-)
Just got home from work… what a generous offer @hellobad I would be more than happy to accept the split as you have suggested. Been a great competition throughout and I appreciate the sporting gesture & all comments from everyone.
My selection today is Stoke WIN 6/4
Playing my SECOND CHANCE
Best of luck Hellobad!
Mr F hats off to you and your guys for a great comp. Sure you must agree what great sporting finalists you have.
Credit to greaves and hellobad. Well done and best of luck to you both.
