Tricky one to forecast as Swindon have won all three of their away games. I’d feel more confident of a Notts win if we were playing at their place, where they’ve picked up just 1 point from three games.

My selections:
£3 Draw @ 13/5
£1 Notts win 3-1 @ 14/1
£1 Shaun Brisley to score anytime @ 12/1

[Steward]

5.00 on a 1-1 draw

[tarquinbeech]

£1 Jones to score@10/1

£1 Notts to win from behind@8/1

£1 Notts to win 3-1@14/1

£2 over 2.5 goals@4/5

Errrrrr....so if Notts win, you lose money?.......admittedly not as much as if you'd set fire to your "free" fiver

Edit - Maybe I should explain, because I was a little confused when we started on week 1 as well.....YOU DON'T GET YOUR STAKE BACK WITH YOUR WINNINGS ie you automatically start each week MINUS £5.......your WINNINGS ONLY have to add up MORE than +£5 just to stay level.

It's basically not worth it backing short odds ie sub-evens (Notts are odds-on to win).....you've then compounded the error by betting the OPPOSITE of your Notts bet ie the draw

Hope that makes sense.

£3.00 on a draw.
£1 on a Notts win.
£1 on a Swindon win.

£3.00 on a draw.
£1 on a Notts win.

OK, I give in....now there's another at it.....sorry Gumps, but it's a pointless combination of bets

Not for 1 second do I pretend to understand this betting lark, Tarkers.

£1 on Notts LOSES you £4.05, £1 on Swindon LOSES you £1.10.....the draw gives you £5.20.....so why not use the other two £1 bets on something crazy like a 3-3 draw

Maybe it's me?....you didn't sneak the +£14 (well done) by betting short odds AND backing AGAINST your original bet

Many of us who are playing this game are only doing so because it costs us nowt, if it was real money either we wouldn't bother or we would look into it more seriously, gumps strategy seems to be not to lose every week & it's working, I'm going the other way (if I win I win big) & it aint working yet!

£5 Notts to win 3-1
