Wimbledon Tipping Contest

[StereoMike]

It was mentioned about having a sports tipping contest for Wimbledon, using the free £20 from B24. I'm suggesting that we split the £20 two ways and each day place £10 (or 50% of total whatever is lowest) on one womens match and one mens. As WR odds are 1.5 I am going to pick above those.

Please feel free to join in and let's see how far we can go.

Today's tips (gone for ones later in day so people can get on):
Mens: Querrey, S v Ljubicic, I @1.60
Womens: Wozniak, A v Schiavone, F @ 1.50

Good luck!

[Andy]

Thats excellent thanks and exactly what I was meaning to do and forgot

I will go next, then anyone else that wants to join in really. We could have some kind of sub prizes, everyone who makes a correct pick can have £10 cash from TGT if Murray wins?

(This might not last too long but if we got through to the final that would be very impressive).

EDIT = Got my two £10s on those bets, i didnt actually request the bonus from them I thought that would be taking the P but I have £60 of funds in there now so can play along for real.

[StereoMike]

Depends if we split the winnings 50/50 each round or have a £10 limit per bet and then that way we might get to the final and have some form of profit?

[Andy]

I think just flat bet £10. If enough people follow we could have a few bets a day then, rather than just each "round". If its just me and you thats fairly academic

I'm in on this too. Got on those picks although Ljubicic's serve can be a pain considering the grass surface.

[StereoMike]

Well doesn't look like a great start. Wozniak threw away the lead and as Ljubic has pulled out the tournament am guessing that one will be void!!

Over to you Andy!

Edit:
Just been in to my B24 account and they seem to have settled despite the change in opposition so I guess it is £8 on both matches tomorrow.

[Andy]

Well I am down £4 after those two and was going to keep betting £10 a pop but if you want to do half the bonus balance each time we can? (Im not sure why we are doing that though I have £56 in there?).

Anyway I have done £8 a time now and have two choices,
Pablo Andujar - Martin Vasallo Arguello @ 1.6

And another which does not count for the wagering but I think is easy money.
Kevin Kim - David Ferrer @ 1.11

Here is hoping...

HI there, I placed on your tips yesterday Mike, and now have £55.50 in my account, think I got worse odds to you guys. Will be following this thread but am going away for two weeks on Sunday so may not be able to follow it through to the end.....

Thanks for this thread

[StereoMike]

On them too Andy. We could change the bet sizes if you would like, thought this way might encourage more to take part as would just be using the free money but think I left opening the thread until a bit late.

I suggest that the daily tipster also decides how large a part of the float goes on each of his picks. For example you could use 2/3 of your float on Ferrer and the rest on Arguello. I think that might be a bit more fun than flat betting and it promotes punts on underdogs which are more fun for me per se.
