A LOT has been said about this trial but one thing Rod (Punting For Fun) has proved is there's no point in backing a 1-14 shot.

He managed three out of four on his 4-5 linewith Young Boys draw no bet the only to beat him as they lost a friendly to minnows Biel.

Lee managed two out of four on his 10-1 fourfold and maybe he should stick to scorers. Arjen Robben's goal maintained his 100 per cent record on anytime scorers – three out of three.

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.

    Wednesday Bet 10 points

    19:45 Real Madrid

    18:00 Galatasaray

    18:45 Zwolle

    Bet Victor @ 1.97

    Tuesdays bet was a bit experimental for me trying to be to smart with having what i seen as a double chance with young boys draw no bet and thinking young boys was a stone waller it turned out the complete opposite but just shows nothing is a stone waller.

    Few people have mentioned its not the way they would play a bank builder and you have to respect the comments but at the end of the day it is only a bit of fun and not for everybody and anyone betting on any selections on this website do at there own risk and are not forced to follow any bets.

    punting in your pitch to get the gig ,you said you found card ,corner and goal before a certain time bets made you a lot of profit in trial runs and you could beat the bookies with those….i am confused as all your bets so far have nothing to do with those aforementioned markets….good luck in your challenge.

      best evah hopefully the weekend comes with me having some points so I can have more selections to choose 1 that I really like but you have a valid point about the pitch as you call it maybe I should have just tried to stick to that but I got a bit wrapped up in looking at odds ons that looked good at the time.

    best evah i did say that i had looked at these markets but the plan was to try and get what i thought was some easy points on really short odds but that has not panned out the way i wanted but this was never about just doing those markets i said. But if that is what you thought i would be doing then i can only say sorry for that if its what you thought.

    Also the bookie i use has more of these markets at the weekend especially the corner ones since all the teams are playing at the weekend.

    For example i only seen Man utd,Bayern and P S V on the corner ones today, i did one on PSV but that lost and i had said earlier maybe my run on the corner bets needed to have a break after getting 4 from 4 up but remember i never posted them as bets on here i was just trying them out myself 1st doing small stakes.

    If i make it to the weekend then i will more than likely have one of these bets also i think bank building does not have to mean betting every day but this is different as you have to post 1 bet a day and you do not always have the choices selection wise through the week but this is just a bit of fun to see what will happen.

    Part of me wanted to obviously put up a good show but i am not wired in the way where i am desperate to prove anything or say i am better than anyone.

    It was made clear at the start it was only a bit of fun and an experiment of sorts.

      I don’t look at it as beating anyone as such if I was to win fair enough but it was just a bit fun to see what happened.

      Just remember the Porto game that they absolutely blitzed but never won you only need 4 such games in a row @ 5 pts and the 20 point bank is wiped out.

      One of the reasons I did 4 teams as well was this accumulated to nearly evens at really short odds so I was trying to at least double my stake instead of picking a short odds single which you would get less back per stake.

      On hindsight maybe that is wrong as its not a short dash but a marathon so to me I have at least learned something doing this and I think that is something that some are maybe missing that you deffo learn things on here.

      Maybe some other people can look at it the same way and see that it is not a given whatever bets you do.

    Cheers. Never tried short price bankers before. It takes a lot more bloody effort, but banking my original £100 outlay and just under £150 up. Happy days!
