RB Saves the day...

Right, it's been a bit of a topsy turvey week.  Up to £48.10, and then a change of system, followed by 5 straight losses, and then some cheeky work by Mr. B.

Firstly, the change of system.  At a meeting on Wednesday it was proposed to change the 10% system to a 10 bets out of the pot.  All this means is that instead of a reducing stake after a loss, we would essentially split the highest pot amount by 10 (so 10 bets of £4.81 based on the current pot).  A win up to £55.00 for example would then mean 10 bets of £5.50 etc...

And then the bad run started.

21. Chelsea to beat Man Utd = £4.81 @ 11/10  (£43.29)
22. Luke Donald to win = £4.81 @ 5/4 (£38.48)
22. Ian Poulter to win = £4.81 @ 13/10 (£33.67)
22. Anderson/Lewis/Taylor Treble = £4.81 @ 2/1 (£28.86)
23. Donald/Casey/McIlroy Treble = £4.81 @ 4/1 (£24.05)

And then it gets messy...
RB decided to take a punt on Hudderfield to beat Warrington without consulting the group.  This was at the risk that if it went wrong, he'd be footing the bill (and no-one would be any the wiser).  Anyhow, it was double or die day after that.

24. Huddersfield to beat Warrington -2.0 = £4.81 @ 6/5 (win £5.78)
25. Wolves v Everton +2.5 goals = £5.78 @ 21/20 (win £11.85)
26. Sunlun/Spurs +2.5 goals double = £11.85 @ 3/1 (win £47.40)
26. Layed bet to cover above = £2.40 @ 5/1 (lose £2.40)

Anyhow, to cut a long blog post short, the £45.00 has been added to the pot which now sits at a pretty £69.05
