ps anyone in the second column of the leaderboard that does not have "CONFIRMED" next to their name has yet to tell me that they wish to stay in the game. If you do please feel free to bet as of now or let me know you dont want to play and your name will be taken out in the next update

Amilcar Bets 100 on Inter Milan to win and 100 on Napoli to win
Cheers Simon! im right on your tail u know... finally
Off topic I know - but I said to Beli about 2 seasons ago that I would see him in the Premiership sooner rather than later.
Well chuffed that you made it pal - how you beat Boro with all those players out in the playoff final ill never know - you must be the mother of all tactical genuises mate! :)
£150 on Real Zaragoza to win @ 3/1 £10 on Man City to win @ 18/1 £15 on Man City and Liverpool to draw @ 12/1 £10 on Leeds to win @ 11/1 £10 on Leeds and Fulham to draw @ 7/1
2x La Liga trophy // Sevilla 2x Spanish cup // Sevilla 1x Premiership trophy // Man City 2x English cup // Man City 2x European Cup // Man City 1x Segunda trophy // Valencia
Id prefer you picked the original bet and amended the typo as that is obviously what happened - but there is nothing in the rules to back this up you can change it to the Fulham bet if you want
Im not having a pop at you mate - does it kind of gives you a free go to change your mind and switch bets as you fancy something else more - know what I mean? Surely that ironically counts against other people who dont have that choice because of a typo?
But like I said - no big deal - I dont mind either way - I will have to stick something in the rules for next time though
rules is rules mate - and so is the lack of them :) - so your new bet stands
but should you win, I hope you feel sufficiently guity, deny yourself any pocket money this week, and having had no dinner, go to your room and think carefully about what you have done....................... :)
cheers

Totally understand that mate, but as there was nothing stated in the rules (up until after I posted my new bet), then I take it my new bet will stand?

Here are the results from this weeks BTO - Simon will update the leaderboard in the week with the new games for week 2.
If anyone thinks there results are incorrect please just PM me or email me to let me know and I will look into it.
I've had a message from Simon Newcombe (Safehands) this morning to say that his broadband is down due to all the illegal porn he's been downloading (kidding!) but he hopes to be back up and running again tomorrow so will update the BTO's section then.
Im back (kind of) on mobile broadband till next thurs. Its a bit slow but not too bad actually
Its enough to stick beat the odds up ready for next week and sorry for having to cancel this week - ill replace the missing week with a week of cup games later in the season
Sorry to anyone that PMd me recently - ive answered most emails from my Blackberry but PMs im only just getting round to
No I wont - the list only contains the totals for people who bet last week - as you or others who have yet to place a bet yet join in they will be added to the list
