I think it is quite a big deal that you can pick and choose when you play and therefore can be more selective, I wouldn't be surprised in time if they changed this, also it's encouraging to another sport to be included, I hope they incorporate more sports more regularly.

i managed to get £100 from the free game and am having a go at the paid one (£2, 10 questions for £1,250). basically given they are mostly 50/50 coin tosses, you'd be better off rolling over the £2 stake 10x but i wouldn't be able to bring myself to pick that sort of selection and i have found it quite good fun for small stakes.

There are ways of doing this though, by chipping in with "sure fire" even shots of our own.

I'm probably being thick but I keep missing out on this with the free games.

After I have chosen an answer it tells me my answer is locked in so I can't move onto next question. That's fine if the question is a few minutes away I just wait till I can go onto another question. However I chose a question that was six hours away. So left it overnight, the next morning it told me I had got it right (so after 4 questions still had £1000 in pot) but the competition said Overall Winners 82,793. I'm still showing the pot but no way of choosing another question?

£20 on five evens shots would return a profit of £620. You can move the odds in your favour on BTD by opposing horses to finish in the top 3 but its still poor value as BF are choosing what you can bet on.

i'm doing the free one. they're coin tosses chosen deliberately but the free one is harmless. only got as far as q2 so far. gone all in on this top 3 finish. prefer the footie ones but the over 1.5 fhgs later is just another coin toss. there maybe a bit of value in some of the prices, where the bf odds are not evens but by them choosing the markets, they're stacking it in their favour, because we probably won't have an accurate opinion on whether a particular price is value or not.
