Football Challenge Rules:

1. The bets are set and forget, so straight backs or lays.
2. You can submit up to 5 selections per day along with the odds of those selections
3. Selections must come from one strategy only, not multiple strategies.
4. You will need to update us on how many point’s profit you made.
5. All results should be recorded to £10 stakes, a £10 bet at 2.0 odds would be £10 profit if it won or a £10 loss if not.
6. Lay stakes are recorded to stake, so if you lay at 3.0 you are risking £20 to win £10.
7. Martin will record the standings in a weekly table.

Good luck, and may the best bettor win!
