EVERY day there's a good old debate on this site about the tips put up.
We see winners and losers but for the most part the predictions are posted in good faith and are reasoned.
There are some good brains contributing to these debates and our plan is to create a forum where punters can chat among themselves without me having to get involved as much. That will come later.
In the meantime as a recognition of the good tips being shared and the time spent on doing them we've decided to launch a punter tipping contest.
We are looking for 16 people to go head to head to find out who will be the Top Tipster here at MrFixitsTips.co.uk. Each week two players will go up against each other to see who can win the most money.
Whoever wins will progress to the next round and compete in another round until we get two finalists who will again face-off to win a great prize.
Ladbrokes have kindly agreed to put up £600 of betting vouchers as prizes. The eight last-16 losers will receive a £10 betting voucher, there will be £30 for the four last-eight losers, £40 for the losing semi-finalists, £70 for the runner-up and £150 to the outright winner.
The winner of the final will scoop a hospitality package for an all-expenses paid day out at the races courtesy of Ladbrokes.
All players will start their games with a mythical £1000 betting fund and you can stake from £50 to £1000 on any football bet provided Ladbrokes have priced it up.
Stakes have to be quoted as do all prices and they have to be Ladbrokes' odds.
You can bet on any football market provided by Ladbrokes but winnings won't be allocated if no price is quoted. All tips must be posted before the start of the relevant event, for example by 2.59pm for a 3pm kick-off.
Each person must over the course of the contest place a minimum of 20 bets so the £1000 stake is utilised. This is to prevent a contestant sitting on his pot.
The winner will be the person who has accumulated most winnings, including stakes, by the deadline for the tie.
But if one of the players loses his £1000 pot before the deadline his opponent will be declared the winner.
To have a chance of playing simply register your name at the end of this article before 5pm today (Sunday). Twelve people will be picked at random then a first-round draw made, with the first head to head starting the following week.
The other four players will be those who have posted most comments on our site if they want to take part. They are Chris Guy, Milesey, Danny and Craig Alves. These four will be seeded and kept part in the first round.
In the unlikely event of a draw in any of the tipping head to heads there will be a tiebreak contest to decide the winner.
Once the draw is made we will contact the relevant parties with the time and date their ties will start and finish as well as a list of the rules. Everyone can get involved by commenting on the tips and how they're going.
There are already entries in from all over the world so get your name in the hat if you fancy a week as a tipster and a share of £500 of betting vouchers plus a chance to win a great day out.
To enter simply post your name here and tell us where you are from.
And for anyone who isn't lucky enough to be picked we'll be giving away 10 x £10 spot prizes during the course of the contest.
We'll post details of how the Wednesday draw will be made and then launch the contest on Saturday.
In December 2020 we sadly

Davy from crossshill
thats a late xmas present for Chris Milesey and Craig with us being seeded no chance of getting me in the first round lol a would prefer one of use in the final insted of earlier rounds my only worry is Chris just incase he hits one of they first goalscorers Milesey I know your spot on with horses weel see if the same can be said for football LETS THE TIPSTER WARS BEGIN
Football and horses both are good for me……
I went through a stage many years ago that i would put silly stakes on the number of corners in a game ! haha
No chance of you getting through the 1st round either ;) you would have had more chance if you met Chris Guy in the first round of getting through ;) Now that’s you out in the first round Danny, i just hope you don’t get beaten by NICHOLAS STREAKER heard he is prety good on the old betting !
LOL Ive got no chance either you must not be aware I am at least in the top 5 of people who have put up winning football tips in the past al be angry with myself if I crash out in the first round EURO 2012 for example I didnt get a cheque in the post and free bets from Paul for nout now did I
that’s right you didn’t get them cheques in the post for nothing ;) ;) ;) and i thought you said you don’t set foot on these shores ? or was it you won’t be again ;) ;) it’s good Paul paid you the money due though and wasn’t a wasted trip haha
I thats right mate a flew back from Australia to Glasgow too cash a 20 pound cheque from paddy power it actually came in handy but it arrived a few days before I left and I had my last ever pints of tennants at Glasgow Airport with it anyway am done talking about the competition just incase I end up out at the first hurdle and end up looking like a diddy
will Betway give me even money none of the 4 seeds will be up the road first?????????
Robert, my money’s on a Chris Guy v Milesey final. Now that would be fun!

Liking this set up, will it take 15 weeks to complete the competition tho?? Just in time for ma b’day and the decent weather for the horse meeting haha, hopefully get a wee run but no point In deciding tactics the now til we get up and running, good luck confident danny confident milesy and confident chris guy haha you’s will need it
It should be all 16 starting at the same time, over 8 ties, shouldn’t be 1 tie 2 people a week. Should all play the same time like a cup competition. Winners go through, draw takes place and then away we go again say the following week…. and so on all the way to the final.
…. and it shouldn’t be open, for i for one will just calculate what the other person is doing and act accordingly to that…. may even cover myself by putting their bets on too, then taking short price football to build my bankroll. It it’s open on here then it’s going to be so easy. You can calculate exactly what the other person has, and what you need etc to beat them, cover yourself. Minimum bet of £50, and then obviously to start with £1000 for thats all you have, but then you can obviously bet your max when you have winnings !
Milesey, everyone playing will be sent a full set of rules. It will be open but you can’t copy a bet as it will be first come first served. For example if someone fancied a single on Everton tonight the person they were playing couldn’t put up the same single. We’ll play it the way we’ve planned but can amend rules for later rounds if required. People could only cover to an extent if that’s the way they wanted to go but I hope punters play it in the spirit intended and try to put up their best tips. There will be a really good extra prize for the person throughout the whole contest who makes the most money in their week so that’s another incentive.
so if someone say fancies the everton win tonight, i can still take the double chance of everton win/draw ?
Milesey, yeah you could do that.
so i say pick Everton, liverpool as 2 singles, someone else can copy me but do them as a double and make more money of my picks ?
Milesey, last answer. Yes they could do that but as you well know the double is double the risk so it’s not the same. I’m pretty sure most people will want to do their own thing anyway. Play it in the spirit intended and don’t worry too much your opponent. In every tie if someone hitsa big win early on the tactis you’re suggesting will go out the window anyway. I’m off to put up tonight’s tips.
Milesey, I’m just back in so seeing your comments. We’ve made the rules and that’s how it will be played. As I said you’ll get a copy and comment to after that if you see any problems. But anyone who doesn’t like the set-up doesn’t need to play.
Craig, it will take a while to complete but that’s part of the attraction. The reason we’re not playing 16 at once is because of the administrative nightmare in following everyone. The idea will be up to update players’ totals every day. The quarters or semis might be played together but we’ll see how the first round goes.
couldn’t you play all 16 players at once, so 8 ties, put 8 different threads up for the relevant people, say for instance, Chris Guy V Sue Age they have one thread, then say Danny V Nicholas Streaker they have another thread, so all kept seperate then you can easily follow what people do and at what times, only suggestions ! it’s not fair if others hit a week where there is champions league football, europa league, of cause they will make more then if say i have a week when there are 4 midweek games, and aload of sh*t from Japan !
Would make it as fair as possible so that everyone has to bet on the same matches, if someone hits a bumper week with champions league football, europa then of cause they will make more money !
Would only be the 1st week with 8 different thread that would keep you busy, after that going down to 4 and so on would be easier for you to manage
Milesey, a bumper week doesn’t exist if you don’t pick winners. Everyone has to have 20 bets minimum so they’ll have plenty of chances to win or lose. Betting on Champions League or Europa League doesn’t guarantee a winner. Anyway it is what it is and I say may change after the first round.
champions league, europa league gives you alot more scope though when looking at the betting market, you won’t have to take games you don’t want to just cause there is nothing else about just to get your 20 bets in.

Charlie fae Govan.
Milesey, you need to take a chill pill mate. I don’t comment much on the site but all I’ve read is you telling Mr F how to run HIS competition.
Let him get on with it, he doesn’t usually let us down.
Since you’re already one of the competitors I wish you good luck! and hope that I get in too. If not I’ll watch with interest.
I’m not telling anyone how to run anything, i’m making suggestions and trying to understand how this is going to be played in the fairest way what will benefit everyone !
I don’t think it’s fair if someone got this week, with absolute rubbish football betting on, and i got a week with champions league / europa, all ties should be played at the sametime, then we would know who is making the most money in the fairest way, and not someone who has had over 2 thousand games to bet on, compared to someone who had a week with only 500 games being played.
Don’t read my posts if you somehow feel they are not in anyway benefiting yourself !
Thank you
Milesey.
Toys back in the pram please Milesey and stop being so paranoid about people have cheap shots at you.
I like reading your comment but chill out man – You should start taking people’s comments in the spirit they’re intended.
I’m Sure Mr F has all the angles covered. Sheeesh it’s only a fun competition.
Charlie, I’ve been running contest in the Record for years without any problems. I think Milesey just wants to win to be honest but as you say it’s a bit of fun.
Hahahaha, it’s not going to be taken as just fun i can guarantee you that, people are going to be in it to win it !
Good prizes on offer, good prize for the winner !
Think fun will be blown out the row and if rules and the way this is setup isn’t clear then there is going to be alot of rows on here, not from me, but i can see it, if someone has picked 2 singles, then the other person does them as a double exact picks, then of cause your going to say that person just copied what you did !
anyway….. i’m not bothered anyway, i want to win, but i’d give the first prize away for i already have tickets for the cheltenham festival, hospitality box, hotel, all paid for !
Milesey, the rules will be clear, there won’t be a problem with the rules and a single isn’t the same as a double as you know.
Think it will be singles only but the problem if everyone played in the same week would be 1st come 1st served on bets and if 16 players you could miss out on your picks and be left with correct scores or that,. Will have a proper read throu the all the rules next wk to maje sure
1st come 1st served would be the 2 players playing eachother…….. not across the whole 16….. i’ll wait now, seeing as though i was just asking questions to clarify things and now people are taking cheap shots at me for doing so !
Milesey, the thing is I haven’t sent out the rules yet. Please ask questions once you see the rules but the contest will be played as I’ve stated. If anyone including yourself doesn’t like it then they don’t have to enter.

Milesey, you’re beginning to rule this site! I usually read your posts with interest, but at the minute you’re just repeating yourself in regards to the competition. It doesn’t start for couple weeks yet. I’d just be glad to be in it. After all, you’re in it because you post most comments. Not sure if agree with that, because you’re fairly new on the scene. And not all of us have as much time to comment as often as you do. But, that’s how it is. I for one would like to see you go head to head with Chris in the final, providing I’m not selected of course. Good luck to you, and to Danny, Chris and Craig.
hahaha. no worries, point taken….
I’m Going to watch the racing now anyways and see how my bets get on for the day.
Milesey.

Jeez Milesey you are sooooo competitive!! Bring it on ;0)

Good Luck to all.

Phil Hickman Stoke on Trent
Hey it’s all a but of fun guys. I don’t care what week I’m on even there is a restricted card, that’s just your luck and personally I think it adds more excitement to the competition. I will personally just make do with whatever week I’m given.
It will be good to see everyone getting involved. I think its best only 2 people at a time playing as its much easier for admin to follow plus it will allow others to watch individual rules and to join in the banter with comments.
I’m just looking forward to making people sweat with my betting. Cool calm and collective I say. When I’m throwing £50 and £100 on 8/1, 14/1, 25/1 and 33/1 shots my balance will boom when I get a win or two. Would be pretty embarrassing if I went out in the first round right enough. Anyway win or lose I’m looking forward to it. I want to win just as much as others but I’m certainly not a bad loser and I will congratulate whoever wins.
Good luck to everyone who enters the draw.
Reading a lot of the comments just now, hard to take in some of the guff from a few of the regular ‘posters’. I’m aware it generates some interest but unfortunately the majority of posts are of self interest and have nothing to do with posting tips or betting chat.
I post often, purely tips and my bets, and have been in touch in the past with Mr Fixit prior to the launch of his website. I’m on the website every day to read the latest tips.
Could comment on a lot of things, but find it strange when someone says (chris guy) it will be embarrassing if I go out in the first round! Why? Who are you? Who do you think you are?
If my memory serves me right, you lost x number of hundreds of £’s last night. Does losing several big bets make you an expert ?
Milesey, you’ve been given a thread, don’t let it go to your head. Or is too late? As plenty have said, it ain’t your comp, stop commenting / directing prior to knowing the rules.
Cheers !
Darren G – take a bow sir…well summed up.
Guido, been building up for a while, the comments today tipped me over…
Darren – needed said…people need to get a wee grip/reality check at times. I like the banter as im sure u do as well but ya know yersel?…man overboard stuff at times..FFS!!!! good luck if gerrin the comp Darren

GARY CALLAGHAN, HAMILTON
i look forward to the challenge given the opportunity!
Mr Fixit I don’t want a chance in your crooked game.
All I see is you giving the chance to your buddies to win some money. What do you think you are running a grand slam or some major tournament by giving seedings to people you say contribute the most but what do they actually contribute.
If its an open competition then its pay your money take your chance and into the draw like everybodyelse.
John, I don’t know why I bother trying to organise anything. It’s a simple contest to give away prizes. No mates involved and no crookedness. If you want to repeat the unfounded accusations I’m quite happy to speak to our lawyers.
Haha, the comments on here get funnier and funnier. The competition hasn’t even started and people are taking the hump already.
John you seriously need to take a look at yourself mate. My mammie always told me if you’ve not got anything nice to say, say nothing.
Coming on here, having a go at someone for organising a bit of fun, a free competition. FFS get a life!
Hahaha…well said Jack Sparrow!..ya gotta laugh ;-) Liked Pauls repeat and I’ll speak to ma lawyers quote. Classic stuff on here at times ;-)
Lee carswell old pollok
I can kinda see why john might think that mrfixit,for example if someone like me BIG JOCK were to knock out milesey then he’d go pure mental,thats prob why i have nay a hope of gettin picked,not saying its crooked……just selective.milesy and his vip box at cheltenham…pfffffft!!!! the guy must be a tory.
hahaha, I have a stalker, every single thread you post has my name in it, you are starting to scare me now ! This is very unhealthy for someone to be acting this way.
Big Jock, gie’s a break.
Arthur from Blackridge, West Lothian
would thare realy be any point if you were to be picked Jock its a football tipster challenge know a who can bam Milesey up tae the max challenge. as for crooked challenge for your mates to win money why shouldnt the lads who consistantly put up bets tips teams news and so on and who dont just use the site to try and win a free bet fae betway and bet365 get a blast at the competition
Good point there Danny, your tips on the aussie footie have always netted me a few pounds, just like my double on the horses did, My Arsenal v Southampton draw, My Reading to beat Newcastle on saturday @4/1, so if anyone is getting rich it’s not me from the rubbish tips some people put on this site, i’e someone who said to lay ” Whispering warrior ” and chelsea -2 against southampton !
Malaga to beat Real Madrid @9/2, and the list goes on, i’m not blowing my own trumpet at all, i’m putting tips on here for others to follow and to get some winnings from ! People can say i am this and that on here and to be honest i don’t care, i try to help out people on this site, i post tips that are good. I help people with team news, on what kinds of bets are the best to put on etc…. what do i take from it ?
If i win the first prize i’d actually give it away to someone else on this site who didn’t get a shot at the competition….. so carry on with your childness. I am in it to win it, and believe i deserve the chance for the help i have given to people who come onto this site, the tips i have given , advice etc…..
I can get race tickets for any meeting i want, Betfair hospitality, transport all layed on to get to the track etc….. it’s not about the prizes for me, if i win them i will raffle them to people who didn’t get the chance to play in the competition.
I won the Horse Racing competition, i didn’t take the prize, all that i put into it, and i took nothing from it at all, but the enjoyment of playing the game with others.
Milesey, admin decided to reward the top four posters with a place. It’s a thank you for supporting the site and getting involved. There’s nothing wrong with that we’re well within our rights to do so. Bookies reward loyalty with free bets etc, it’s the same deal.
Agree with ye Danny. If Fixit wants to reward those guys that keep commenting then it’s up to him. It’s his baw!
I’ll be in the draw and will take my place if picked. I’ll feel a wee bit guilty if I do get picked and someone who comments more than me disnae – but I’ll get over it pretty quickly!
Some people think they’re entitled to everything mind.
Mr Fixit
If there is no mates and no crookedness then its 16 names out the hat.
John, we’ve said we’re giving places to the top four posters as a thank you. I don’t know any of them and haven’t met any of them. One lives in Oz, one lives in Stevenage – never been to either place. I have mates but none of them ever comment on here so please give it up.
Mr F you shouldn’t have to justify yourself, or decisions you make to anyone.
Anyway, you coming out for that beer now to watch the game ? see you down the pub in 10 ;) and you too Danny if your about, should be a great game………. all the lads together watching the football, don’t know chris guy or anything about him, so not sure if he is in the same area as us !

JackSparrow,u talk the most sense I’ve seen on here I think. The comments on this thread r comical,people getting a bit wound up over nothing. I wonder y u bother Paul. I remember a similar reaction 2 the Euro 2012 competition and 1 person in particularly getting a bit abusive (can’t remember who exactly).
Anyhoo,i wouldn’t mind a go at this!
Jonathan Grieve
Jonathan, when people enter a contest do they expect to win? Probably not. What do people don’t understand about the words “picked at random”. The guy you’re talking about, who later apologised, claimed he wasn’t chosen because he was English. What rubbish! He wasn’t picked because his name never came out of the hat.

We should all organise a right big piss up one night. Maybe I the boulevard or something.
Don’t see anything wrong with regular posters being rewarded. Lets face it, it would be rather boring without the banter from the likes of
Me, Milesey, Danny and Craig wouldn’t it.
I didn’t get picked for the Euro 2012 despite being on the site regularly and I didn’t spit the dummy out. Also just as Paul said, there are loads if prizes to be won by those involved and even 10 x £10 prizes up for grabs for those who are unlucky not to be picked.
Paul with regards to the idiotic comments just ignore them. Onwards and upwards with the site.
Chris, I used to do band reviews at the Boulevard when I was a young reporter at the Clydebank Post. Had some great nights there and think I saw Wet Wet Wet gig before they were famous – although it might have been somewhere else in the town. Long time ago of course. We could meet up for an end-of-season pint but can’t see Danny or Milesey making it unless we hold it in Dubai or somewhere like that.
Agree fully with your earlier comment Danny. And this is why I feel I should be in the game ;) i remember following this site very early on. Very few comments on posts. It soon grew a reputation, hence why so many comments on here these days. Always kept up to date with this site, and often comment with bit team news, offers from bookies, or just posting the bets I have put on. But not for one second would i slate Paul or admin, for the site has been great from day one. Plus, this competition should be of great interest to many, and the prizes up for grabs are very good considering its a free competition. I hope I get the chance to play, but if I don’t, so be it. I’ll still join in with the banter and keep track of how it’s all going!
Luke, we appreciate everyone who comes on but to make it a 12-4 split between random and the top posters seemed fair enough to me. To be honest I’d do one for everyone but it would be headache to administer. However, if this goes well we may try to find a way to do it or else have 64 or 128 playing right through the season.
Don’t think you should feel you need to do a competition to involve more than 16 Paul. That’s plenty. All I would suggest is if there is another competition later down line, maybe ensure all participants are completely different to those taking part in this upcoming one.
Luke, we’ll have a think about what we do. All I know is that all the contests I do in the paper or on the site are popular and maybe it’s flattering that people want to be involved. I run one in the Record that offers £50 each week, £100 monthly and £1000 overall plus runners-up prizes, sponsored by betrescue. This has been going since the start of the season but is open to everyone with the weekly and monthly winners being mentioned in the paper. It’s free to enter and I’d point anyone interested in tipping contests to go to http://www.betrescue/record.co.uk and take part.
Aye I would say you’re right there with the top four posters Mr fixit. This competition wouldn’t be the same if Chris guy and milesey don’t get the chance to go head to head .
John g, will be explosive if it happens but both have to win first games to have a chance.
Aye that’s true, I just hope none of them go out early, it would be good if they get a chance to go head to head!!
John g, it will be interesting to see the tactics and if Chris goes for big bets early on. He could come a cropper if he doesn’t get an early win. Right that’s me outta here for another day.
I’ll take a look at that, cheers!!

Muchos Gracis T.
Theresa, you did well there. How did you get on with £1000 vouchers, any joy? Your name will be in the hat with everyone when entries close.
Jerry from Guyana.
Cheers.
Yes Paul, i spread out the bets in the European Championship, ended showing a profit of about £800. was well pleased with that.

Theresa, that’s good to hear. How are you doing this year? I haven’t looked at the full leaderboard recently.

Thanks as usual for your great website Mr Fixit.
I think it’s fair for the four big hitters to get seeded through. They do contribute lots of ideas and tips which helps a lot of people so fair enough.
I’d like to see a Danny vs Chris Guy final
Chris, cheers for that and if you’re in the draw good luck. Milesey, Chris Guy, Danny and to a lesser extent Craig Alves are well known to the regulars on the site and that’s another reason to put them through. I think people will love it if they get beat up early on but also as you say would like to see a head to head to see how they play it.
Milesey, it’s deleted. By the way my last word on Scottish football. Look at this piece of skill from Mackay-Steven on Saturday then tell me if you’d get that in the Isthmian League. bbc.in/UZSX5P
haha, that says it all, all that time to get it on his foot and flick it, header on, Somone like Vidic would have taken his foot off with a crunching challenge.
This is a better goal then you get in scottish football, and definately a better celebration !

I agree Chris dwk, the four main contributers to the site defo need to be in there. I don’t know if milesey would agree wi your final predictions though. I reckon he thinks he’s got this one in the bag
What i think and what happens will be totally different that much i know. Anything could happen, there will be surprises and it may be 2 others in the final, nothing is ever certain in this life !
i think any one of the 16 can win. its okay having the sense to have a staking plan but remember the bottom line is you are relying on the performances of players, teams, etc and not your own ability at whatever sport you compete in as a hobby.
Robert, I agree with you, anyone can win. It will be down to a combination of luck and skill.
count me in the ‘fixit 4’ need taught a lesson !!!!
Don’t worry I’m going to knock Milesey out in style Bahahaha
Milesey would that be your worst outcome? To be shafted off the Doctor? Lol
Hey if me and Milesey meet in the final it shall be a box office pay per view event. I’m looking forward to Milesey backing all the 1/2 and 1/3 shits and then I hit him with a 25/1 sucker punch (hopefully) :-)
Bring it on football + horse racing wahoo
I smell the fear…….

Bring it on,football,horse racing,wahoo.
i never enter these things so who knows. first time lucky.. carl miller rosewell village
first time lucky maybe as i never enter these things carl miller rosewell village
Paul I have an idea for the people who are unfortunate not to get picked. You said you had 10 x £10 free bets right? Why don’t you give a few of them who can predict the order in which me, Milesey, Craig and Danny will finish in the competition. Such as:
Chris
Danny
Craig
Milesey
Just a thought.
Chris, nice thought but we’ll be doing spot prizes throughout the contest.
gary callaghan, HAMILTON
Put my name in hat please maybe have more luck if playing with kid on money, as i dont have much luck playing with the real stuff,just about to give my donation to ladbrokes for tonites games.
chris do you honestly think people have nothing better t do than predict on How far u get.I’m pretty sure it isn’t the chris show.kinda getting bored by this guys comments now. He will be running it by Mr F next if He thinks he’s more handsome than milesey next.
haha Jock I think the seedings a bit like a jumbled up 4 word game for some ….
heid Chris’s to gone ;-)
MILESEY, CHRIS, CRAIG, DANNY.
u lot are talking a gd game, maybe chris v milesey in the final or whatever???
maybe they wont even get past the first round, cos ive got a plan to beat the lot of yous.
gd luck to all that get the chance to enter, better watch out weeg is about!!!
anytime lads!
im a small time player that would like to be playing with big time stakes so please put my name in hat
Its the likes of these guys gary and roz etc Im looking 4ward to seeing winning.at the end of the day its 98 percent pure luck and 2percent chance.I predict a winner none of u thought had a chance.
Big Jock I am without doubt the most handsome

looking forward to see what the competition Ins and Outs are and whos against who worked on somewhat of a strategy kinda hard but until a see the fuul script
… and why not a Dane?
The Dane, everyone who enters no matter where they live will get an equal chance to play the game. We’ll reveal details at the weekend. However, the prizes are Ladbrokes shop vouchers. We can’t send these to a non-UK address. So anyone selected to play will need to have a relative or friend in the UK to accept potential prizes on their behalf. Alternatively we’ll be asking Ladbrokes if prizes can be credited to existing or new accounts instead. If this isn’t allowed and any non-UK based contestant can’t pass on the prizes we’ll have to give their place to someone else. Danny, based in Oz, as one of the seeds broached this subject earlier but he has relatives in Scotland so any of them can be sent his vouchers if required. Hope this fair and makes sense to the likes of yourself and many others who have entered from all over the world.
And the soap opera contiunues
…didn’t see any awards dished out last night though :P
Anyway would like to go in the hat too
Tommo – Glasgow signing in
registerimg for the tipster thing how will i know
Elmofee, what do you mean “how will I know”.
Probably means how will he know if he is in or not ?
Milesey, OK. He’ll hear the same as everyone else. Chris Guy will give him a call!
COLIN FROM CUMNOCK
(BET RESCUE HORSE RACING CHAMPION TIPSTER 2011)
Colin, aye that’s great but what do you know about football? Are you as good as tipping as fellow Cumnock man Owen Scott of William Hill fame?
You ever been on that Bet rescue site Mr F ?
I have a look at times and see what they are saying, just as terrible as me today on the horses with their tips. think they have DARK LANE 2nd, OUTLAW PETE 6th, and THE WESTERNER BOY fell.
Milesey, I need to use the site, I drive the betmobile sponsored by Betrescue. However, I use it really for best odds and odds comparison rather than tips. Their guys are the same as you and I – they get it right sometimes and sometimes they get it wrong.
The competition they do on the channel 4 racing is always good for the free £100 bet !
You do the £5000 football tipster competition with them then ?
Milesey, yeah that’s run with Betrecue in the Record and is really popular. £50 given every week, £100 monthly and £1000 to the outright winner. Anyone can enter at any time but obviously they’ll be playing catch-up.
good luck in the draw Colin am hopin fur an easy first round tie if there is such a thing
