    Has anyone on here run a competition to see who is the best football tipster?

    There has been the odd post to say what their bets are, but has there ever been any follow up to prove who is the best on the fixed odds?

    Thought not.................

    I'd be willing to run such a comp............

    Are there any takers?

    I know mate, just being a funny bugger, sorry! I haven't actually had a single football bet this year, until this season I did them every week.

    Never ceases to amaze me how many people think they &quot;draw even.&quot; There are even some characters out there who think they're in front.</p>

    so true windy, i understand that overall when gambling i make a loss, but i only bet about £20 a week, and if i win it pays for me a night out, if i lose then iv only lost 20 quid, not a life saving, its not a big deal to me wether i win or lose, just adds abit of importance to some football games and makes it abit more exciting, thats the only reason i gamble

    RE: That's the way to do it.

    yeah, i play online poker, not good enough yet to play for proper money so just stick with the play money for now, iv got a mate who plays for proper money online and from what iv heard hes quite good, but its not for me just yet, rather stick to something iv got a chance of wining,
