Football Challenge Rules:

The bets are set and forget, so straight backs or lays.
You can submit up to 5 selections per day along with the odds of those selections
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.
Martin will record the standings in a weekly table.

Good luck, and may the best bettor win!

+£29.40 so far with the Aussie game to go in the morning.

Very unlikely the Aussie game qualifies based on current odds.

Today's Lay Home Team:

Stephen Hancox

Half 1 over 0.5 (running total -£50.69)

Greuther Furth v Regensburg 1.43

1/1 running total -£46.47

Nikki HALSALL

17 winners from 21 selections so far, not bad, running profit is £13.24

Sadly even though its Friday, no selections today. A day to practice discipline, my mantra today - Do not look for trades, do not look for trades, do not look for ....................

Wayne Thomas

Today's O1.5 picks:

Running total: -£20.11

Alastair Todd

Today's back O1.5 goals:

Vollendam v Den Haag. 1.26
Bayern Munich v FC Werder Bremen. 1.26
Sturm Graz v Austria Vienna. 1.38

I don't really expect Bayern to get matched in time, as current odds are only 1.07, and possibly not Den Haag either, currently at 1.16. Knowing my luck, the Austrian match will be matched and then lose!

Result: 3/3 wins = +0.88 pts
All matched
Running total +£49.10 from Friday 31st Jan

Andy Donnelly
