WE have a contest for members that started on November 1 and there's only four days to go in game one.
It's simply a head-to-head competition between two people to see how much they can win (or lose) in a month betting on football. Inplay bets are allowed – all bets have to settled in the month of November.
Thanks to everyone who entered and admin have decided to pick two regular contributors to be first to have a go – so step forward HullShaker and Alves.
The idea is win the most money in November with the winner being given a £50 free bet with Ladbrokes.
You can't risk to lose more than 10 points in one day – so for example if you win 5pts early on you can stake another 15pts that day. Any bets not settled by midnight will count for the following day – if you put up a bet after losing 10pts in one day it will be void.
Bets can be similar but no exact copies please.
I will follow the bets as much as possible but the two competitors must keep their own daily tallies and also point out any discrepancies in their rival's figures.
When putting a bet up comment on the post with full details of the bet, KO time unless inplay, odds and points staked.
The bets don't need to be placed by you – they can by mythical bets.
It's a bit of fun really and if it's popular two more members can have a go next month.
With two days to go Alves has jumped in front after a super Sunday. Last update had him 20pts profit with HullShaker -2.38 so he has some work to do.
