ROD (Punting For Fun) has followed four winners in a row with three losers to prove what a strange game betting can be.
He was one goal short in the Algerian Cup game at ES Setif so that's another 11 points off his total.
Rod is back in the red and will be hoping to address that situation on Wednesday.
Lee's still searching for his first winner and if I'm correct it might not come and he's already done in half of his betting bank.
Rod and Lee are playing to see which type of betting will profit over the course of the month with £50 of betting vouchers going to Rod if he wins.
Lee's single or accumulator must be a minimum 10-1 and Punting For Fun's can be as short as he wants but must be odds on.
Tips must be posted every day – if anyone misses out Lee will be deducted one point and Punting For Fun five points.

Rod the only thing I would say about your tips is why don’t you stick to more of what you know? I’m not having a go but really how much do you know about Algerian football? The stats were probably there to back up your selection but the odds for games like that are 9 times out of 10 well underpriced. Again I’m not bashing or anything this is just my thoughts in general, I think if your going to bet odds on, it has to be on something that you agree is very likely to happen. Fair enough if you follow Algerian football religiously then I am wrong but if you don’t well to me it doesn’t justify backing at such short odds.
Should long shot lee not be on 8 points since it said he had 9 yesterday as well ?
I might be looking at this wrong but I just checked the totals and lee has bet these points per day 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 = 13 points so far and that’s including the day a point was not taken as Mr F forgot to ask lee for his bet as he was busy in London if I mind, also day 7 had no stake so I just used 1 for that day.
So that would actually mean lee has just 7 points in his bank ?
As I say I might be doing this wrong but looks like 13 points has been used on lees long shots ?
Sorry if this is wrong but looks correct to me.
Fair comment Pod but i would look more at the fact it was a cup game and maybe cup games are to unpredictable to risk on.
Mr F actually pretty much said as much about maybe avoiding cup games when he tried his bank builder so maybe something to seriously take on board.
Punting For Fun, I’ll add those tips to the post – cup games basically killed me that week I tried it.
the only way to win is betting alot, doing big stakes on singles or doubles doesnt make much profit and often lose anyway. 10 accumlators a day paying 10/1 to 50/1 you’ll likly get 1 in, 2 or more and your laughing
Ricky, that is absolutely shocking ‘advice’!
What you’re suggesting is a sure fire way to ending up broke and finding yourself at GA though!
Ricky I used to bet small for a bit of fun and true I wud get some nice winners now n again but over the year wud b lucky to make a profit a few yrs ago I got made redundant n got a few grand redundancy which enabled me to bet big amounts on mainly singles over the next 6/7 years I Neva made less than than 4 grand profit the key is stick to wot u no dont bet for the sake of it (I can go weeks without havin a bet) n don’t get greedy and only bet wot u r prepared to lose my only bet last night was arsenal to score over 1.5 @2/5 which I thought was great value so happy with £200 profit I aprieciate my way ov betting isn’t for everyone but havin tried both ways of betting this way works for me
Are u taking into account the points from winners
