Welcome to this season's challenge!

Many of you would have taken part in last years competition, for which raspberrybottom won and is the current champion.
This season we have some prize money!

The competition will run from 17th August until the 11th of May, which is the same as the Barclays Premier League. Each week, before 11AM on the Saturday you must post your bet- any bets placed after 11AM on the Saturday will not count so make sure you plan ahead!

You can place your bet on any market, in any game, from any league in any country- as long as the market is listed on Betfair AND the game is played between 00:01am on the Saturday and 23:59 on the Sunday. There may be exceptions on this during certain international or champion league weeks so make sure to follow this thread!

The odds for the bet have to be between 1.9 and 2.1, so if the odds are 1.89 you cannot have it, but if they are 1.9 you can. The odds have to be quoted from betfair exchange or from betfair sportsbook (the sportsbook is usually lower so if you fancy a bet that is 2.2 on the exchange (which is too high) then look on the sportsbook as it may be 2.05 (which is in the right odds spread). You can lay prices from the exchange, but you cannot lay prices from the Sportsbook.

The winner of the competition will be the user who has the most winning bets at the end of the competition (11th May is the last weekend), that is a total of 38 weeks- so the highest score you can get is 38. Therefore if you have an attempt every week but only get half right, that would give you 19 winning bets- which would put you above someone who only tried once a month but got all of his right as he would have 9 winning bets, so try and have a go each week!


If you have the highest amount of winning bets at the end of the competition you will win £130- £50 from Betfair, £50 from one user, £20 from another and £10 from me (if anyone would like to chip in to the kitty then feel free to message me)


If you come second, you win nothing.
If you come third, you win nothing.

When posting your bet, please look at your current position in the table, next to this will be your current rank (number). So if I was first I would post my bet as "1- Over 2.5 in Man Utd @2" For example. This way I can add your bet much easier!

BUT..

The T Challenge
If you manage to get 10 consecutive winning bets, the winning bets have to be from either Barclays Premier League or The Championship matches, then you will win "The T Challenge" and win  £500!
I was messaged by a user, who will remain nameless for now, who has generously set this challenge and provided the prize money, should there not be a winner this money will go to charity.

A huge thanks to this user, and to the two other users who have chipped in with prize money- it's really kind and makes this more fun!

Any questions, just ask!

Hi mr lay, a final plea for a minor tweak of the rules....is there any chance you could do away with the max odds of 2.1? As the results are not odds-based (basically did your selection win, yes or no) it just seems a little strange to say you cant pick a 2.2 shot because the odds are too big.... Just a thought. Cheers.Happy

Hi mate, I'm going to keep as is for the first few bets. If we are get like half of the people using the same bet then of course I will extend the cap to 2.2 from 2.1, but I want to keep the chances of a bet winning as close to 50%- this way you can se who does worse than the stats say and who does better :)
