Football Challenge Rules:

The bets are set and forget, so straight backs or lays.
Selections must come from one strategy only, not multiple strategies.
You will need to update us on how many point’s profit you made.
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.
Lay stakes are recorded to stake, so if you lay at 3.0 you are risking £20 to win £10.

Good luck, and may the best bettor win!

@Martin I know i am ready get involved this time as less selections in general so can stay on top of it but had none so far on my lay over 1.5

Richard Latimer

@Alastair-Todd Yeah, I've had nothing in forever it seems.

Alastair Todd

@Nikki-HALSALL I think you're the only person actually being able to compete at the moment! All my filters have been dead for a few days now. Bring on the resumption of some proper football.

Martin

@Nikki-HALSALL can't wait for this international break to be over!

Nikki HALSALL

Agreed 1st June seems a good place to start - my new strat didn't exist on the 31st May

Alastair Todd

Sunday's Lay Under 1.5 Goals:

Sundsvall v Falkenberg. 3.70
Oddevold v Landskrona. 3.70

Result 1/2 wins= -£17.20
Running total = -£17.20

Alastair Todd

@Richard-Latimer Why don't we just start today - otherwise I have three winners overnight that I didn't declare (which were more successful than the ones I did)

Richard Latimer

@Martin so do I include my selections from yesterday or we start today?

Is the next round already inplay given that the last ended?

Yes new round!

Nikki HALSALL

OK - this is brand new - created this morning so anything could happen.

Alastair Todd

Right ladies and gentlemen, here we go! It's the first of June and here are my selections on my Lay Under 1.5 strategy. Had three winners this morning but fell asleep last night before putting them on here so I'll suck it up this time. Therefore the two remaining for the day are (fingers crossed):

Sunday's Lay Under 1.5 Goals:

Sundsvall v Falkenberg. 3.70
Oddevold v Landskrona. 3.70

Richard Latimer

Is the next round already inplay given that the last ended?

Richard Latimer

Assuming the next round starts 1st June would anybody have a problem with me just posting my stuff up in my own thread with the understanding I'm using my lay under 1.5 system for the competition?

It got a bit tricky before and I took my eye off the ball massively when I need to be laser focused. Would enjoy being part of the competition again though.

Nikki HALSALL

@Alastair-Todd Thanks Alastair All to play for in the next round!!

If we have to change strategies again I might have to cobble together a brand new one!!!

Nikki HALSALL

@Martin Thanks - can't quite believe it. Hoping I have the makings of my 1st Strategy
