How about home win/away win/draw only on football, rugby with or without a handicap, cricket, darts, snooker, dogs etc win only.

Brings in a lot of sports as I know some people on here do not back horses or even want to bother looking up racecards etc and it should be more open than just being confined to the gee gees

Spot on.

We should discuss ideas this week then start the comp next week, in my opinion anyway.

You're each given £10 daily to place a bet on

Football - HT/FT Markets, FTWLD, Number of Goals, 1st/last scorer etc are available. Single bets only though
rugby with or without a handicap
cricket, darts, snooker, dogs, horses etc win only

These bets must be a single.

Bets must be placed before 1pm on the day of the event.

Starting Price/Last show to be taken on events with moving markets.

Odds must be declared when placing your bet and checks will be done to ensure there is no cheating.

Winner will be the one who has made the highest weekly/monthly profit or the lowest weekly/monthly loss.

Anymore?

Nah we need to give a day or two's notice so people are ready for it I'd say and starting next Monday looks the best idea.

I don't think you should limit what you can tip in football. If you're going to do that, you'd need to limit rugby too. It has to be an even playing field. It's probably best not to limit things anyway as you can get plenty more value on other things rather than tipping simply a win or draw.

Do you actually have to put the £10 on?

And what's the winning prize?

Imaginary 10 pounds. Prize is the glory of knowing you're top tipper

Agreed. Although i didn't intend it to be put that way.

Obviously markets are there for 1st scorer etc.
