Wonderful. This could break the internet.

3

You’re missing a question mark at the end there Fran

4

This will rock the forum to its very foundations

5

@Raymond Crotty is coming home.

6

:smiley:

7

Looks good Fran except your finishing it in the middle of the 6N?? Not finished til 21st mar would be fitting to have two such smashing competitions finish together

8

Good point.
Should the deadline not include the finishing date of the 6 nations if the competition has started?

9

Excellent work from @Fran, he’s pulled this off wonderfully.

10

Agreed. Took it on and has managed it effortlessly.

11

@Fran, your end date time doesn’t exist by the way.

12

On a more serious note, bet365 and betfair should be included in the bookies list too.

13

Don’t think betfair should be involved.

14

That’s a fair point Dan, we can make it 21st March finish date if the lads are happy with that

15

They have a sportsbook. No reason not to in my opinion. Leave out the exchange.

  1. & 5. Not agreeable.
    Cluaindiuic is not an agreeable judge either. Fran and Rocko are neutrals as far as I see. I don’t want any if these lads who fancy themselves as gambles involved in the decisions as they will favour their buddy ttk.

Everything else is fine.

kev frantically attempting to wriggle his way out of this contest it seems from his recent posts on this and the triple threat thread. Fran has backed them both into a corner and kev will gnaw his own arm off to get out I suspect.

18

Wonderful work Fran, betfair sportsbook and 365 need to be added to list of bookies for sure. However, it appears Kev has chickened out, he now wants a 5 month tipping comp which was never agreed, there’s no way I’m going til the end of May from December with this. End of 6 nations is ideal, it’s a perfectly allowable time scale to see who gained more profit over 3 months, I won’t be in this board every week for 5 months, unlike kev I have a life outside of TFK, wife kids etc so my 3 month commitment is more than enough. Anything longer is far too much effort for 500 quid. Plus I don’t want to give away my betting edge publicly for 5 full months. If he can’t agree to those terms and wants a full 5 months he can go fuck himself as he therefore has no intention of ever taking me on and is not a man of his word. Absolute bluffer and time waster. Farcical stuff.

19

How’s our fund for Christmas looking, mate?

In all fairness, if your edge was that good you wouldn’t be exposing it at all let alone for 3 months.
