NFL
Tampa Bay Buccaneers v Dallas Cowboys
Match Bet
Selection - Dallas Cowboys
Betfair 1.76
(The odds to back are 1.76 and to lay 1.95 as its so early, i presume it doesnt make a difference to the game as long as there above 1.5?)
Result: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9 - 13 Dallas Cowboys.......Bet Wins
Yes, that's right Matt......that's why I ask you to post the current odds & bookmaker/exchange that are offering those odds at the time you post the bet.Quote:

If the odds drift between you posting the bet & the start of the event, this just means that you might decide to cancel your bet & post another, (as long as you make this decision before the event begins).
However, if you have posted a bet and declared the odds at that time at say 1.6,......& then these odds shorten in the run up to the start of the event to 1.3, the bet is still valid.
To re-iterate.......As long as the 'back to win' odds being offered at the time you post your bet are 1.5 or above on the exchanges & 1/2 or higher on bookmaker sites, then the bet is valid......no matter what happens to them (the odds) in the run up to the start of the event.
I was going to go for Gillingham today but the forum was down. Oh well.
I have decided I need to have a bet this week, take a punt given the strong position that some of the other players are in. So...

Brave effort Mat.......your bet looked a dead-cert, considering the teams' recent form......but hey-ho, these things happen. Unlucky Mat, but many thanks for playing.
It didn't go to plan for The Oldham Whisper either this afternoon.......so the game is wide open again & literally there for anyone's taking.
Thanks for setting up and running the game Ada - been a lot of fun :thumbs
:yikes::yikes: Falling like flies......
Another fatality.........Mattw07.
Well played Matt........but an unlucky result........hope you enjoyed the game......many thanks for playing.......here's hoping you'll take part again next time.
Ooooh.....looks like the balance has swung slightly back into The Oldham Whisper's favour (with 2 remaining Jokers, but only the 1 life)..........only 3 of you left........it's now over to Iron Chris & Paul to decide their own destiny in what's left of WEEK 9.
Good luck.
With Paul having to have at least one bet still I may as well put myself into the next week and see what happens, so I will play my Joker please Ada.

.....many thanks for playing Chris.....your continued contribution to these games is always much appreciated. I hope you will consider playing again next time.
The pressure's now on Paul to post a second winning bet in WEEK 10 to remain in the game (which he's already done.....see above post).
If he succeeds......the pair of you (Paul & The Oldham Whisper) will enter a SUDDEN DEATH play-off, the details of which I will explain in full should it occur.
The Oldham Whisper & Paul,
Congratulations......you are the last 2 players in the game.
As you are now 'level pegging' ie you both have 1 life intact but no Jokers.....the game now enters SUDDEN DEATH.
You must now both post 1 bet each (same game rules apply)
If one bet wins & one loses......we have our winner.
If BOTH bets win OR lose you must both post another bet.
Please post your SUDDEN DEATH BET 1 as soon as possible.
BET 1 events must be staged AND completed by 23:59 Sunday 9th November.
SUDDEN DEATH BET 2 (if applicable) to be posted & events to be staged AND completed UP TO 5 days after the finish of BET 1 events.
How exciting
