After backing Notts County with the biggest single bet I've ever made today, I'm lumping on them again @ 6/4 in midweek.

They are not messing about

I expect Ladbrokes to be coughing up for my bet at 33/1 by late Feb for sure

Hope you have a fair bit on mate, they're looking very good already.

No it was purely speculative before the takeover as I thought they well under performed last year and would do better this so only had £7.50 on it.

Got a few doubles, trebles etc with Norwich, Forest and Luton though at 14/1 so hopefully at least one of them will go in too.

Thats alright mate I had the 3 you mentioned before in a treble, its just annoying when the first one goes before you get a chance of the others. Its definately made me more aware though to keep an eye on the lower leagues and welsh league for any games that are overpriced.

Roll on next weekend!

What exactly do you do on this £10-£1000 challenge?

How many successful bets at around evens would it take to get up to £1000?

Well done Leigh.

Bookies starting to react to our predicament Betfred now 4/5 from 10/11 Featherstone -40pts. Skybet have increased the handicap start from 40 to 44pts.

Man Utd 1/5
St Helens 1/2

Double pays just short of evens, I think I'll be having a dabble on that.

Taken some 10/11 -40 late yesterday. Also backed Keighly -6 today

Keep an eye out for Ilkeston as saw them on Tuesday and they looked ok but nothing special (though to be fair they created a lot of chances which was a good sign) but after beating Southport yesterday perhaps can cause a few shocks along the way as they adapt to Conference North football. If the bookies offer 4/1 or better to win at leaders Corby on Wednesday that would be interesting.


Saw Greys at Tamworth yesterday and they looked a very poor side and might be worth doing Eastbourne to beat them at 2/1 on Tuesday. Not all bookies have priced it up yet so there could be nearer 5/2 around before kick off...fingers crossed. Jury out on Tamworth as they basically have to beat the lesser sides at home to survive but probably will not cut it against a Luton or an Oxford and with Cambridge and Wrexham going there in the next 10 days those games should give a better guide to how they will do.

Both me and teletext read it badly wrong

But talking of teletext I am in their footie tipping challenge heat this week

Going for Dundee Utd v Hearts to draw to start the week off

Thanks, just took that myself.

Start with £10
1 win £20
2 wins £40
3 wins £80
4 wins £160
5 wins £320
6 wins £620
7 wins £1240

So basically 6 and a half consecutive Even money winners making the £1000 bit a touch irrelevant but there you go.

2/2

Fev took their foot off the gas but it wasn't really in doubt.

Can't wait for next season.

Did have Hull KR +4 v Saints EVS
Wakefield -20 v Celtic 10/11

But Huddersfield have fooked it up

£5.50 Double:

Tottenham (9/4*) vs Liverpool
Hull KR (11/8*) vs St Helens

Returned: £42.45

£18.45 Huddersfield +19.5 (10/11)...

Returned: £33.83

well I got stage 2

Anyone going to the Ebor up at York next week? Any tips?

I think i might try the 10 - 1000 challenge

if id started on friday id already be looking for step 5

(Leeds, wigan, fev and catalans all beat the handicaps)

Tonights speedway is a toss of the coin job but think home advantage will just push it Peterborough's way at the 6/5 offered by Stan James.

Expect guest rider Troy Batchelor to star against old club Swindon who released him earlier this season.

Can not get away from Walsall being cracking value to beat Leeds at 3/1 tomorrow.

SkyBet prices are Peterborough -2 (10/11) or Outright (8/11), Best to just leave it alone tonight?, Batchelor T Over 7.5pts 6/5?...

Stoke 14/1 to be winning at half time against Liverpool with Skybet, seems a decent punt.
