IT'S last-chance saloon for Long-Shot Lee whose luck was summed up Sunday's events.

He tried an anytime-scorer double and saw Adam Rooney denied a perfectly good strike with a shot that was a couple of feet over the line and then his other pick, Middlesbrough's Patrick Bamford, was subbed after a quiet display at Arsenal.

Lee is down to his last point so Monday's bet must be a winner – and it would be his first.

Rod (Punting For Fun) was denied another win by Juventus but has a healthy balance and is one the verge of winning £50 of betting vouchers.

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.

For what might be his final effort Lee has gone all or nothing on Marouane Fellaini to score first for Man Utd at Preston. He is 16-1 at Paddy Power and of course if he doesn't start his stake will be refunded and he'll go again on Tuesday.

    Not overly impressed with Footy today and after Juventus let yesterdays bet down and missing a penalty to boot i am doing a mainly Snooker bet.

    With the Welsh Open starting today there are some games that look nailed on and todays bet will include 4 which i reckon will come in.

    To be honest i have not really thought much about the £50 betting vouchers that are up for grabs but i will now since it’s pretty close to being a reality with Lee down to his last point and it’s pretty close to game over, BUT 1 point can do a lot damage @ 10/1 if it comes up so i will not be going to my bed tonight thinking it’s nailed on and i will just keep doing what i have been and that’s mainly thinking about my bets more than lee’s.

    So as i say todays bet is this.

    All to win there 1st round Welsh Open Snooker matches

    10:30 Mark Allen

    12:00 Mark Davis

    12:00 Marco Fu

    14:30 Neil Robertson
    ………………………………………………

    18:00 Galatasaray to win

    10 points accy @ 1.92 bet365

    Mark Davis struggling here against a 107 ranked opponent Snooker is just like Tennis lol ranks are meaningless.

    Looks like Mark Davis finally pulled the chalk out his nat king cole 3 from 3 and 2 to get back on track, got to admit tho don’t get as much of a buzz when i do certain picks like snooker like the game but just does not get the juices flowing like footy betting does for some reason.

    Marco Fu brings the bacon home on the Snooker selections just remains to be seen if Galatasary can bring home the Mulah.

    Lol been following closely Punting from roughly half way through, usually miss some of your selection with mine, faring very well so far. There may not be many commenting but I know for a fact there are many many watching Punting trust me lol

    Went with Man Utd, Galatasary and Dynamo Zagreb at just under evens as my bank builder….

    Dynamo 1up with 20 left…not quite as one sided as I’d hoped, fingers crossed for a second and some breathing space

    You are not alone lol. I’ve caught this series late but thoroughly enjoying it – is there any way to make this Bank / long shot a regular feature?

      Robert if a long term strategy is one you are prepared to pursue then you could do worse than do bets that are not astronomically priced but are more of a marathon compared to a sprint m8.

      Guy called IanP on here is on a holiday at the minute but he is well worth a LQQK when he returns from his beano to Tenerife m8.
