So here we are in Week 8 of You Bet, and I'm happy to report we've already tripled our money with three weeks yet to play. Well done everyone!
Last week's winning bet took our total to £30.65, so let's see if we can win even more this week. Here's your three bets from which you must choose the one most likely:
Bet A
Arsenal v Blackburn: Adebayor to score first
Potential winnings: £4.00
Bet B
Wigan v Chelsea: Lampard to score first
Potential winnings: £7.00
Bet C
Middlesbrough v Charlton: Half Time - Middlesbrough leading, Full Time - draw
Potential winnings: £15.00
If you don't know what to do now, where the hell have you been since November 2nd? Oh alright then, here goes.
Simply vote for A, B or C above according to the one you think's most likely to happen this weekend and whichever gets the most votes before midday on Saturday 23rd December 2006 has a £1 bet put on it courtesy of Some People Are On The Pitch. If that bet pays out, all winnings go back into the kitty and at the end of the 10-week run, any money we've accrued goes off to Great Ormond Street Hospital.
PLEASE NOTE:
The poll for this week seems to be having a technical fault insofar as it's only showing one vote as having been registered. If your vote fails to show up on the graph after you log it, please drop us a line at write4us[at]spaotp[dot]com with your name and the bet you've voted for and we'll keep a track of things ready for the big 'off' this weekend. Apologies for any inconvenience...
So here, then, are those ever-important voting buttons:

Good luck!
Ahhhh... so near and yet so far. Middlesbrough went 1-0 up just before half-time thus accomplishing the first half of the bet.
ReplyDeleteSadly, just when we needed Charlton to equalise and hold out for a draw until the end, Middlesbrough went and scored another. It finished 2-0, thus ended our chances of getting some more money for the kitty this week.
Never mind - better luck next week!
