That's a relief. Thanks.

Can I apply to have the £1 admin fee waived as well?

You can certainly apply, but processing the application will cost another £1 admin fee. It's up to you.

If Spinoza is a professional gambler can he claim such "expenses" against tax?

Right, i'm off on my hols so if someone else gets a chance to mark the form for this week, go for it - if not, i'll post the new slip and results when i get back

Happy Chrimbo one and all !

I swear i've won my bet 5/6 weeks in a row now, and i quite fancy my chances of winning this thing now.

I get the impression that somebody is out to stitch up Dave on a trumped up theft charge. After Dave so graciously volunteered that he'd been credited with too much money a couple of weeks ago, it seems "the tenner in the brown envelope" has been restored to his account. I think it only fair to the Colonel that this be removed from his account before he is wrongfully accused of attempting to gain an unfair advantage.

As for Spinoza's tax affairs, I'm afraid his various admin fees are not tax deductible, because gambling winnings are not subject to tax. Lucky boy!

Is there another round of matches this week?

Ta for the reminder - I'll post the coupon and update he table minus the slight discrepency involving Dave and the mystery tenner...

Nowt on Eurobet or Ladbrokes yet, but it's only Monday...

+ FORZA LA VIOLA +

The coupons up old boy, where were you looking ?

Eurobet

Christ only knows. I even thought yesterday was Monday, so I clearly haven't regained what little sense I had before the Xmas / New Year boozing period.

I blame the Nastro Azzurro... Damn you Giovanni Peroni!

+ FORZA LA VIOLA +

Ciao,

Can I put 10 points on Inter to beat Samp this weekend, if the game's going ahead?

Grazie

Week 16 Table (Ammended)
----------------------------------


Just a few minor alterations - Del Ner did place a bet and win ( he wanted a tenner on Inter until he said otherwise ) & Spinoza's bet was void as the game was abandonded.

Ummm... I'm sure I bet on £10 on a Siena away win at Chievo! But I can't find the post to confirm it. Where are last week's predictions?

Ivano mate, your bet was Cagliari v Messina AWAY @ 5.35 (£10).

The thread's still on here if you want to have a look, it's just that it's under "Serie A - POINTS GAME - Week 16" instead of Week 17.

I'm baffled that more people have made a profit than have made a loss.
We can't be that clever.

Most of thw winners have been betting on fairly safe results (eg backing Juve and Milan).

I made most of my money backing Lecce (I think) to beat Juve.

Betting £10 each week helps as well!

Wish I'd put £10 on a 0-0 at OT this afternoon! Is Uri Geller still associated with Exeter, bet he was in a bloody helicopter above the ground! Still it could be worse, I could be a City fan!!!
