Many thanks for playing Vegy (& thanks for the kind Rep comments......much appreciated) :thumbs
Week 9 is shaping up nicely - Mat and Matt both have big decisions to make before the end of the week! If they go for the 'safe' route and play jokers, I will have the luxury of being able to place just one bet and hold a joker 'in hand' while everyone else will be forced into making at least one bet that could potentially be their last.
Good Luck Everyone :)
Im away till sunday night so im going to post my bet now just in case im not back in time. I dont want to have to use a joker! as pointed out by TOW :) think i gotta go for it..

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...

Looks to be an even more exciting week than last week!!!!........Mathare, Mattw07 & Iron Chris all posted winning bets in WEEK 8......so could this force Oldham into playing his Jokers, or even a losing bet?.....who knows,,,,,,,,Best of luck guys :thumbs

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.
