Shrews not606 betting league

Rules:

• Every week, I will put all the league one fixtures and their corresponding odds up on here, with the occasional bonus round. If you wish to place a bet that isn't in here, ask me and I'll do my best.
• To enter, simply place a bet.
• Everyone will have a starting budget of £150, with £50 added every week.
• Bets must be in half an hour before the kick off of the matches which you are betting on (or, if they are at different times, half an hour before the first game kicks off) at the latest.
• Bets may be in the form of a single, double, triple or accumulator.
• Bets may be any size.
• There is a maximum of three bets per week.
• If you do not post a bet for three consecutive weeks, you will be fined £150.
• Posts that have been edited more two minutes after the initial post (and so show up as being edited) will not be accepted - if you wish to change a bet, add a separate post.
• The winner at the end of the season (which will continue until the conclusion of the World Cup) will win a hamper/box of food and drink provided that they are prepared to arrange a suitable time for its dropping off/collection, and the best individual bet (i.e. biggest profit) will be rewarded with a couple of bottles of real ale.

World Cup Bets:

 

Good idea Lenny, but I also like this.. Would be good if we got a Salop (& Guests) Private-League set up.

http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

 

I'd be interested in that Lenny.

Jenny, chap on shrewschat has set up one of those

270773-72078 is the code.

 

Count me in, Lenny.

 

Alrighty then, I'll set up a spreadsheet - I'll include the rules shortly and start it when the the League gets underway since it's slightly short notice for tomorrow.

 

Cheers monna!

 

will this cost aj money? as he normally only bets on certs. like home to leicester away to worcester and leeds away in the cup.

 

Just for fun AJ. Perhaps some jammy wagon wheels if Jenny wins!

 

Nothing but not606 smiley money

 

Added this week's bets - I'll put £20 on us to lose, £25 on Crewe winning and a £12 triple on Swindon, Bournemouth and Bury all winning.

Fans of other teams who venture on here are quite welcome to join in

Would it be possible for this to be made a sticky by one of our fine mods?

 

Sorry was a bit slow to realise that you had the games for Saturday gone up. <blush>

 

Likewise. I will pay more attention in future.

 

Ok - I'll reset it and update it every week. What I might do (and probably should have done last week) in future is including the bets for each week in the match thread.

 

Right, I've updated it for this week - everyone has £150 to place up to three bets on this weekend's fixtures should you so desire

 

My bets for this week are as follows:

£5 triple on Swansea beating West Ham, Sunderland vs Reading being a draw and Southampton beating Wigan.

£10 on us to draw with Tranmere.

£10 on Crewe to win.

 

£20 on west brom beating Tottenham
£10 on Shrewsbury beating Tranmere
£10 on Southampton drawing with wigan

 

Is that Southampton - Wigan or Swansea - West Ham?! Southampton vs West Ham isn't for a while!

 

Modified

 

£100 on tranmere to win
£50 on swindon to win

 

Bloody hell AJ, feeling bold! I see you are also a believer in betting against your own team to make it a win-win situation
