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!

Monday's Back O1.5 goals:

Jong PSV v Cambuur 1.26
Inter v Fiorentina. 1.26

(The Dutch match almost certainly won't get matched in time as odds are v low at KO)

Result: 1/1 wins = 0.25 pts
As predicted, the Dutch game didn't get matched in time so I'm calling it a non-runner!

[Andy Donnelly]

12pm- Uthai Thani v Nong Bua @ 6
7pm - Vitesse v Emmen @ 6.6

P&L on Lay Home Team +£59.30

Martin, just so I get my numbers straight - is your total of +£59.30 the cumulative total from the start of the challenge i.e. Friday before last, or is that just since last Monday i.e. week 2?

My numbers: +£25.10 since last Monday (Week 2)
Cumulative total +£52.20

[Alastair Todd]

Typically, after a good run of 5/5 on today's picks, my final two trades of the day both lost!

P&L on Lay Home Team +£59.30
