Tipsters Challenge Football Competition
Welcome to the brand new Punters Lounge Football Tipsters Challenge 
The competition will kick off on August 11th and our season will be split into four separate sessions.
This allows us to keep things fresh and also for new players to join at various times of the season.
 
2019/20 Format as follows:
4 ten-week mini-seasons
TC1 – Aug 10th – Oct 12th TC2 – Oct 19th – Dec 21st TC3 – Dec 28th– Feb 29th TC4 – Mar 7th – May 9th  
Entrants split into 8/9 divisions, which will include a maximum of 15 players in each. Players will be distributed into divisions in order of their final total from the previous mini-season. (Top 15 players in Division 1, next highest scorers in Div. 2 etc.…..) Each mini-season will last 10 weeks and players must play in at least 7 of those weeks in order to keep their place in the competition. (So you get 3 weeks off basically) Cash prizes will be awarded at the end of week 10 in that particular mini-season.  Punters Lounge Prizes

Rules:
Players start with a virtual bank of £100. Players can stake up to 50% of their current bank in any one week until their bank drops to £10. Minimum bet is £5 or half bank if that is lower. Once the bank drops to £10 or lower, the players stake must be either half bank or 'All in'. The player will be eliminated if an 'All in' bet loses. Players can bet on the following markets: Outright Result, Both Teams To Score and Over/Under 2.5 goals. Players are required to select ONE bet per week only and can be a combination of the above. Players can either bet on a single, a double or a treble only on any of the accepted markets. No Editing of bets to change selections, just repost if you change your mind. Players must play in 7 weeks during the 10 week season or will be eliminated. Only exception to the above rule is when a player misses 3 weeks on the trot, this will also result in elimination. Any bets posted outside these limits will be reduced in order written. (i.e.; 4 fold down to a treble) No bets will be accepted that are related in any way, in other words you can only use a team once in your bet whether that be BTTS, Over/Unders or 1,X,2. Any bets posted in error will be settled on the first part of the bet and the others treated as NR's. All bets must be posted by 3pm on Saturday (earlier if it’s a Friday or Sat Midday game.
If a game is abandoned or postponed the bet will be reduced, ie; Treble to a double etc.. No rearranged matches will be taken into account. Prices to be taken from the supplied Odds thread only. (If it’s not on there, you can’t do it) Any bets with instructions missing will be governed by the price taken, after that bets will be settled in the positive outcome. (Overs/ BTTS) If no stake has been attached to the bet a default £10 win will apply or half of your bank if its less than £10. If any bet is posted after the kick off, that match will become void and the rest of the bet reduced. Treble to a Double, Double to a Single. If it was a single the whole bet will be void and a no-show will be awarded. In week 10 of the mini season duplicate bets in the same division is not allowed, first come first served, any copied bets will deemed as a loser under the fair play rule. The TC Odds thread will be posted up each Tuesday for the following weekend matches and selections threads will be set up at the same time.

League tables will be posted once all matches have been completed for that week, typically this will be after the Monday night match.

The Sat 3pm deadline for all bets is put in place so no one can gain an advantage by knowing if an opponent has won or lost before placing his bet. So strictly no posts allowed after the deadline will be accepted.
Leagues Covered 
English Premier
Championship
League One
League Two
Scottish Premiership
Spanish La Liga

Hmmm I see what you mean .....on one hand I think protecting the bank is a good thing but on the other I'm thinking why change what is working so far ?.....all I'm thinking is I know probability will give me a long losing run sooner or later ........you know what you are probably right the level stakes means when you fall on a winner then the profits can be a lot bigger than if I reduce it to 3.55 ...,,I'm going to leave it as it is at 5pts ...the bank can withstand 142 bets at that so a losing run of 30 wouldn't be the end of the world ......don't change what ain't broken 

Hi Richard
Going great guns,Long may it continue
Re: Staking
I am not a lover of the %age staking you are thinking of implementing,
In theory you actualy should never go broke using 1/200 of the bank per bet/day, but you end up putting your largest stake on the losers and vice versa.
Due to the nature of odds range you back at its is also not advisable to do the inverse of the above.
As an engineer I always work to a datum for accuracy in measuring ( in betting terms would be level stakes) I find the formula : SB/(6/-log(1-AveSR)) is a reasonable indicator of stake size to use.
This gives you a 1000000/1 chance of going broke as long as you find ' value ' in your winning bets.
Good luck

Middle of the flat season and only twig hoppers to chose from

Carol NAP 15/8 Paddy Power
Silvestre De Sousa goes to Chepstow on Friday Night and should make his trip worthwhile with a victory on board Carol for trainer Ed Dunlop. To be fair she had been a bit frustrating but won nicely last time out over C/D and it seems a good decision to bring her back here. De Sousa has ridden her before (twice) so knows the filly well and I expect her to improve now she has got her head in front.
