With the ever changing landscape of the bookmaking industry it it becoming very confusing to some on which bookmakers we can use and which bookmakers allow BOG, and from which time it is allowed.

We have decided to narrow the choice of bookmakers and to allow BOG with all selections posted in the competition regardless of time. This will make it much easier for both players and me when settling the bets.

From September 1st 2022 the rules regarding bookmakers we use will be as follows;

The only bookmakers allowed in the competition are;

• Bet365
• Paddy Power/Betfair (same prices)
• Betvictor
• William Hill
• Betfred
• Boylesport
• Ladbrokes
• Coral

Any selections posted with any other bookmaker will be settled at SP

 

Many thanks
