hi mate

yep - usual weekly top up is for the weekend bets (ie sunday games)

boxing day is an extra.. so a chance for anyone who has missed a wk to catch up.. but not for the few who are still on the maximum of one per week...

good luck

Can I have 100 pts back from one of my (many) crap bet weeks and put it on Hull at 4-1 who look great value ?????

Fingers Crossed

Ok worth a try in this season of goodwill 2 all mankind Phew

Seriously though
Happy xmas all and thanks Gecko for running this great comp that provides us less able to predict things in the premiership to take some real money home with the help of some great tips Very Happy

Been a stressful couple of months and therefore I missed a few weeks. Is it possible to come back in or am I expelled?

shanewire > you can keep going mate..not a problem... I keep the stats separate for those who have done all (or almost all weeks), and those who have missed more than 3wks..

you could still have a decent record at the season end even if you have missed alot... good to track your bets at least and proof for all if you beat the bookies

congrats to those who have kept going.. good to see some in profit as that's the whole point of this.. beating the bookie

interesting average odds there, I think only one of my bets has been higher than that average and most much lower!

my average is just 2.1!

but then i've not really been delving into the higher odds, correct score, scorer type bets.
