Slogger, you do know there are other teams right? =P

[FireDoughnut]

So far so good.

[Baddar]

Same for me.

I'm confident in that Chelsea will win tonight and Liverpool won't. I can't win off both of my remaining bets, but I think I'll win on at least one of them. I hope it's not, but I can see Arsenal and Liverpool ending in a 0-0.

I havent lost yet.

No United in the betting this weekend.

Ha. ^_^

I havent lost yet.

But in all those bets you've probably won half of what I won in a single bet the first week.

[Slogger]

I'm not greedy, I'm happy with what i got.

[Scott McFly]

All I can say is Arsenal and Chelsea better not win or I'll be kicking myself for not taking that 5th bet. >_<

But as for the weekend's results, Fernando Torres is the fucking man!

I bet quickly since I didn't know I had to bet, but looking over it now where the hell are you getting your odds? They're pretty terrible =P

[Baddar]

Bet 5

All 20 on Kieran Richardson (Sunderland)

I'll try my best to keep everyone informed of their first goalscorer odds ASAP. Richardson is 12/1.

[Steeb]

Bet 4

10 on Blackburn, 10 on Tottenham.

Hedge-betting FTW.

[Baddar]

Bet 4

10 on Blackburn, 10 on Tottenham.

Hedge-betting FTW.

Oh yeah...another rule to bring in.

Betting like this is fine, just as long as there's another possible outcome in the match (a draw in this case) What you won't be able to do is spread all 20 of your credits on one bet by placing them on the home win, away win and draw. I say this because although you're still definitely losing some credits, you're always "winning" to a certain extent, which is gay.

And if anyone has any other views on this, reply here. Whether or not you think this should be allowed, let me know. I'm happy to go with the majority on most things, including this.
