THE first strike in the challenge has been struck by Rod (Punting For Fun) who picked a nice double on Monday.

After Anderlecht beat his fourfold on Sunday he put 10 points on Maccabi Tel Aviv and Zamalek to win at 1.86.

I was away all day yesterday and wasn't able to press Lee for his long shot (if truth be told I was so busy I forget to call him) but it will be business as usual on Tuesday.

He was also unlucky on Sunday with his first two legs winning – Matt Smith to score for Bristol City and Lyon not to lose but he was let down by Algeria.

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 (but not yesterday as that was my fault) and Punting For Fun five points.

    I see.. Thank you for clarification.. Btw, I was going for your super single today but my bookies are only paying 1.55 for that here in italy. Instead I went for WOLFSBURG at 1.85

    Right going for another 4 timer and hopefully 1 team will not decide to scupper the bet like Sunday did.

    At least we are up and running now and hopefully i can get a run going only issue that has been pointed out by some on here is the more teams the chance of 1 team going south increases as was the case on Sunday so maybe the way to go is just sticking to 1 or 2 selections but we will see what happens with this bet before i decide to bin any more than 2 selections.

    18:00 pm Fenerbahce to win 1/7

    17:00 pm Young boys draw no bet 1/14

    19:45 pm Club Brugge to win 2/11

    19:45 pm P S V to win 1/4

    4 timer @ Bet 365 @ 1.8

      Well that experiment didn’t go to plan 1/14 shot goes spectaculary wrong the reason i tried this was with the other 3 teams i picked were about 1.6 odds so i thought i would shove a real xhort odds banker with a double chance ie the draw would be no bet as i thought the very worst young boys would get a draw and the other 3 would still have a shout but it turned out to be a total disaster.

      For the sake of such a short price add to the treble turned out not worth the risk in the end also the young boys game was a friendly but still they were playing a team last in the challenge league and i never thought a defeat would be on the cards :-(

    Mr F. Checked the bank builder and i think its about other lads giving their fancies. I thought it was like your super single. Giving one Banker at small prices every day.

    I liked this idea last month, but today I don’t like the idea of tipping two four folds. Obvs lee has to combine selections to find value.
    But for me, a four fold can’t be a bank builder…
    How many 1/3 – 1/5 ‘bankers’ get taken down daily!

    I believe the builder should be a single

    Hilly the idea was just a bit fun and an experiment but you are entitled to your opinion m8 and I respect that. You may actually have a point as you say how many times does a odds on shot let you down but its early doors and your train of thought is well appreciated as it gives us all on the site another opinion to look at and IMHO that’s what it is all about ideas and opinions.

    To be fair after looking at the selections I like them.
    Good luck anyway

    Also hilly I had 4 out of 4 on a corner market on Sunday as well and I was in two minds about posting 1 of them as they are all 5/6 in that market but you only get 9 mins worth of bet and I thought about this for a long time and decided to not go on that route at the time.

    Then I got to thinking that mmmmmmm now maybe my luck on the corner bet has been spot on so far but maybe that run needed to be left alone for a bit as 4 from 4 is pretty good at 5/6 each and gives a 10/1 accy so I left it alone.

    And rightly so because I looked at the Malaga game for corner b4 9 mins and it lost so it was a good call to leave it alone.

    But remember it is only a bit of fun and I would leave it alone for betting purposes tbh

    I put few euros on the following crazy accumulator..
    Lille PSG first half over 1.5 goals
    Man UTD cambridge first half over 1.5 goals
    Fulham Sunderland over 2.5 goals
    M’Gladbach- Friburgo First half M’Gladbach
    Hannover Mainz – Mainz to win
    Frankfort- Wolfsburg Over 3.5 goals
    Roma- Fiorentina First half over 0.5 goals

    My super single is Wolfsurg to win at 1.85 multiplier

    Well back to basics a bit frustrated at that last bet so this might be a bad idea as some might look at chasing losses but another bet tonight

    I think it’s a bit risky putting a 4-fold up as a bank builder, even though the odds are short. Far too many variables, if it was me I’d go for a double max. No offence punting, just saying my opinion. Good luck to you mate.

    Think it’s abit daft this tbh Mr f. We all see people like Greg browning and raal and plenty others who put up singles and doubles and do really well consistently so y not put them instead. This guy will be out by Sunday no danger

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 10 years ago

      Ramey, the contest was open to all but neither Greg nor raaljaca asked to be considered. Anyone can play along but if you don’t like it you don’t need to read it.

  31. Avatar of marvbuang
    marvbuang 10 years ago

    John, depends on the match but usually on FT result with lower odds. Like if I lost that -1.25 1H handicap, I would have covered that with a ManU to win at FT.

    Im not sure if that’s covering but it works for me.
