For those of you who like a bet, and it seems there's a few around, have a look in at the;
Betcher Bottom Dollar League betting competition.
It's betting but without the real money, a bit of fun with no risk, a bit like the 'Fantasy' leagues and it runs through the season.
==============================================
It would involve you 'donating' about 3 minutes of your time once a week to select and post your bets, so it's easy enough to do. If you've got a mate/relative etc that you think might like to join then that's fine as well. Any questions, just ask me.... Rules and info...........
==================================
As you may know 'Team Skittle' consists of father and three sons and it creates some banter and competition amongst the family on a weekly basis. All good fun and it lasts through the football season. Try it with members of your family/friends, you might like it.
I aim to put the fixtures up on Monday or Tuesday every week and will have tables up on the following Monday or Tuesday ably assisted by 'Youngest Son Of Skittle', Jamie.
The football season is split into four separate 'seasons' of 10 weeks for the purposes of this competition.
Any problems or questions throughout the season......please feel free to ask.
BBDL Rules.
1. Each participant receives 50 Virtual Pounds to bet each week.
2. You can only bet on home win, draw or away win outcomes in the matches specified.
3. Anyone missing a bet will be deducted £25, up to a maximum of -£50.
4. Occasionally odds for matches will not be provided. This is usually because I am not allowing bets on the match for any particular reason or that the odds are not yet available. If there is any doubt, please ask.
5. All of the £50 must be bet each week, but it can be split into as many individual bets as you wish, with a minimum stake of £1.
6. All your £50 must be bet in one post. You cannot for example place a £25 bet on a Saturday match, wait for the result and then bet the remaining balance on a Sunday match.
7. You cannot bet on all the outcomes of one match, or all outcomes of a different bet to guarantee a profit.
8. If you place your bet(s) twice, the first bet will be counted and the second ignored, unless amendments are clearly highlighted.
9. Any bet placed after the scheduled kick-off of the match in question will be discounted (even by as little as seven seconds).
10. SonOfSkittle rule: You cannot change a bet after the kick-off of the match you have bet on, unless you posted your bet late and it would have been discounted anyway.
11. Bets placed totaling more than £50 will be ignored. For example, a post betting £60 on Liverpool will be completely ignored, whereas in a bet of £40 Liverpool win/£20 Spurs win, only the Spurs part of the bet will be ignored.
12. Bets can be placed in advance if you are prepared to bet without knowing the odds. Simply notify me on the message board and I will make a note in my spreadsheet.
13. bryanod rule: If copying another comptitor's bets, they must be posted in full. Entries such as "same as catto" will not count
14. If you try to bet but break any of the rules (in good faith), you will receive £0 - rather than being deducted £25 for missing a bet.
