Bonus points are awarded for 8 or more correct results HOW TO ENTER You have to select the results of the following matches and you collect the POINTS allocated for each team chosen if you are correct. POINTS allocated are alongside each team. You get the points , home , away or draw, if you correctly forecast the result. BONUS points are awarded for getting 7 or more correct. League tables of the leading “Tipster” will be posted after every week throughout a normal competition. Abbreviations are obviously team names and MUST be used in entry.

Thanks Leeds 60 Draws ? You can see a lot of edgy starts to the season then. If you are right it will be a good score.
iF YOU CAST YOUR MIND BACK THE FIRST DAY SPRINGS MANY SURPRISES NORWICH getting beat 7-1 at home Reading losing at home to ScunnyLeeds GETTING BEAT BY DERBY who went on a did the double against us this needs rectifying this season.I feel that although Leicester have spent vast amounts of money the race will be much closer than people think with the evemtual winner not getting above 90 points I have reflected this on your other site DAVE
Sorry billyboy...... Computer says "NO" for your entry Please loook at previous posts, especially No 7 I cannot copy your entry unless it fits the spreadsheet, which then scores your entry. It has to be the same as No. 13, and No.14 which are OK. Cheers Please re-submit.
leeds60. Sorry not this year...3 games is enough for me. Virtual Bookies will be launched sometime on Thursday I have added this new game, Top Tipster and thats my lot. They are designed to take most of the calculations away from me and make it easy to run. Most of the work is just COLLECTING the entries and then sorting out the results to post league tables.
Good start for entries. Nine in the first day. A few entries could not be used because of wrong codes and spacing. I repeat the way to do it: Please put your team name at the top of your entry followed STRAIGHT away by your CODES in CAPITAL LETTERS. No Spaces. It means I can copy/paste straight in the space on my spreadsheet.
