RG30 Ilkay Gundogan Who Scored MOTM 14/1 (betfair) - Wrong price, 2nd highest ranked City player (KDB first) who probably won't play 90. Landed last week vs Spurs.


Same again tonight except KDB is on the bench. Way overpriced.

Start with £10 and bet on games not to finish 0-0. Play with your winnings and try to get to 100 (or as far as you can before you take the money and running). Sounds simple but you usually get impatient and make a silly mistake.

Fair enough, sounds pretty fun, but I’m not patient enough for that sort of stuff!

Tempted to do the 0-0 challenge for the Euros.

51 games, no 0-0s? Possible?

For context there were four 0-0s in Euro 2016

As an aside, aren’t some of the games played at the same time so may not be possible to do each game?

Ah yes, that's true. The last round of group games are always played at the same time.

So there are in effect 45 matches available.

Anyone else play the “Beat the Drop” on Paddy Power? For those who don’t know what it is - there’s 12 Yes or No questions you have to answer, you start with a budget of £1,000 and you can split each question accordingly (50% on yes/no, 80/20 etc etc). It’s free to play, but I can never seem to get past the first couple of questions, furthest I’ve got is 6/7, anyone else had more luck with it?

you can just do multiples, even if it is somewhat against the spirit of the game.. Thats what has always ended the challenge for me, putting in +/-10 fixtures from the same set of games

Someone's spammed Competitions with the prediction threads.

I presume you had a 100% proportion on one event - at what stage what you start to split it (if at all) - thought about it and would probably start Q9/Q10
