Assuming there aren't any stragglers with winners from the previous round: The premiership sees a massive TEN potential champions gunning for the crown, and the remaining 6 in a relegation battle. Having said that, it will take a huge winner for anyone from 4th to 10th to overcome Barrie.R.Bartle due to his exceptional selections.
The championship sees Luther promoted (as champion) at the first time of asking. There are two more spots for promotion, again with 10 people to fill them.
Empeee, cochise and carlin4737 will fight over the title in the bottom tier, with callieach trying to poke himself into a promotion spot at the expense of carlin4737.
Lastly, the league yield was POSITIVE for the first time in weeks last week. Only by 0.97%, but a marked improvement on being ~20% down.
1. One tip per tipster per week. (Tips cannot be modified or changed after being posted UNLESS it becomes apparent that another tipster has the same tip: SEE RULE 6, or in the instance that said event is cancelled etc. Organiser’s ruling is final). This includes tipsters modifying their odds for their selections. When posting, tips must include (in some way shape or form): Event Bet type (if not obvious) Selection Odds Bookmaker where said odds are taken from.
If your bet is a handicap bet please remember to say if it is a normal handicap or an Asian/European handicap
2. No Multi Bets (singles only).
3. Bet can be on any sport or bet type.
4. All bets based on a 1 unit bet stake.
5. No live/in running bets.
6. No bet to be the same as any other tipster (from any other league). First in best dressed.
7. No tips posted (i.e. match/event played) within the time frame = losing bet (-1 point)
8. A yield will be calculated for all tipsters, but the league will first be sorted on points.
9. In the event of equal points and equal yield, the highest accumulative odds will be positioned higher. (This is only likely if tipsters fail to secure a point, i.e. four people on the bottom with 0 points, which 3 get relegated…)
10. Any void bets will be classed as your bet (unless the event is cancelled etc and changes are made clear), buy you will receive your 1 unit stake back which will be counted towards your yield. However this will be counted as a loss (and therefore 0 points). This rule will also be applied to anyone taking a ‘Draw No Bet’ pick when the match ends in a draw.
11. All odds from BETFAIR must be before commission, but then the commission will be accounted for. Odds will count with commission deducted. There is a handy table below. Please remember that commission is 5% of any winnings e.g. 2.00 would be 1.95 after commission, not 1.9
12. All bets must be posted with the result to be finalised within the week timeframe, any pending results at time of each Round closure will be classified as a losing bet.
13. All odds to be from the accepted bookmakers list which can be found at the bottom of this post.
14. All league seasons to consist of 5 rounds only to be conducted in five continuous weeks.
15. Rounds will begin on Friday at 12:00 GMT, and end the following Friday at 11:59 GMT. Tables will be done as soon as possible, usually ready for the start of the Round.
16. Any tipster who fails to post a tip will score minus one point for the week. Note that you do not have to post the result of the match if it loses.
17. Any tipster who has a winning bet must notify the organiser in the competition thread by quoting the original bet, and stating the result. The latest that this can be done is 36 hours after the conclusion of the round, although it is ideal to say so before the round actually closes. The result post may be made in either thread, although it would be preferred to be in the new thread if posting after the round closure as it'll be easier to notice. Please do not modify the original post. Results posted for winners after this timeframe will not be accepted. In the instance you will not be avaiable (holiday etc.) to post a winner within the time period, please notify me in the original post and I will check the result. If, however, there is a genuine mistake on the part of the organiser, then this can be rectified at any time until the end of the season, but it would be appreciated if the mistake is brought to light as soon as possible.
18. In the instance that a player will be unable to make a tip for an entire week (holidays/lack of internet etc) then, at the discretion of the organiser, they will be allowed to make a selection in advance. This option is only available is exceptional circumstances.
