Hopefully you make it that far mate! I'm going to kick mine off after I win / am out of works' Last Man Standing compo. £10 entry - pick a team to win from the Saturday fixtures (all English divisions) repeat until you're the only one left - you can't pick the same team more than once though, so a bit of tactics involved there... Started with 110 of us and it's down to 34 now, with me still in. Winner takes all, so £1100 up for grabs...!

Bolton were ripped off at the weekend, and so was I being on Kevin Davies to score 1st and anytime. Cost me £110 which made me quite annoyed!

Perfect goal disallowed, and whats worse for Bolton is that 2 points could be the difference between relegation and survival...

Well done. :)

This £10 has turned into £30 pretty quickly hasn't it? Can't wait to see you putting £1,2,or 3k on a match! :lol: Your sphinxter WILL be pulsating!!! :P

I've won £113 off 4 draws today, £1 bet too (Reading, Hudd'field, Barnet and Bradford). :D

And if Man City win, I win £15.50 off a £5 treble which covered todays outlay of £14 footy bets.

Why do you have to go through the hard part, why not start a £1,000 instead of 30 bets making you £30

Jump a few levels, saves pointless £2.50 profits etc

Who gives a damn about Manchester City anyway. Champion wannabees with a stupid manager with that cheesy scarf. Im glad United put them in there place.

This is how it feels to be City....
This is how it feels to be small...
This is how it feels when your team wins nothing at all
Nothing at all
NOTHING AT ALL

1) I don't want to lose £1,000 i don't have - my biggest loss will be £10.

I can't be arsed to give you any more reasons... :)
I'm happy with what i'm doing... if you're happy betting £1,000 at a time, thats fine. I'm not.

no, your biggest loss will be later on, when you've got a stake of 4 or 5k on a match... or, to really take the piss, the one that pushes you to the £10,000 mark...
