    You're in a really strong position and have played this week very well in my opinion. I have a tough decision to make over the next couple of days

    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..

    26/10/08 17:00
    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

    Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

    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.
    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.
    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 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...

    WEEK 9 has now begun............same rules apply.

    PLEASE REMEMBER: No more Bonus Lives to be awarded.........it's still a fight to the death!!!.

    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

    Take a look at the table in this thread's first post for players' current standings at the end of WEEK 8.

    Good Luck to you all

    Another one gone!!!

    It's farewell to Mathare.

    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.

    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.

    And then there were 2 !!!!!!

    It's goodbye to Iron Chris this time.......Walsall failed to deliver unfortunately.......

    .....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.
