Keeping track of this is a ton of work, and I'm not complaining, but your current balance numbers are wrong.

You should parlay that one - because if it happens, Mourinho is gone.

Spreadsheet is updated

There are no matches until September 15 due to the international break.
This will also be the first of our mid-month 'futures' bets periods. One additional futures bet is allowed each mid-month break.

Mine is $250 on Watford to finish in the top half @ 1/1.

I think your formula is stealing the bet regardless of the outcome. It matters less for someone like me who doesn't win the bets.

I'll throw $35 on Chelsea to win the EFL cup.

If we are allowed to bet on the cups.

Otherwise, $40 on Everton for the top 6 @ 5/1

no betting on cups, that gets too complicated because it would then bring cup matches into play.

As for the formula chedda can you show me what you're getting? I take the bet away first and if you win I return the bet plus the winnings.

For a example a $100 bet at 2/1 odds will return you $300.

so Chedda so far has $1000-100-20-20-20-30-30+58.5=$838.50

You're right, my bad. Fulham to win in Week 3 was 19/20, not 39/20.

But still a legitimately great player.

Want to see a player who is three-quarters of a second late and is NOT a great player - the always shitty Eric Lamela.

The Watford odds should be 16/5 - I checked because 16/1 seemed too good to be true!

$30 on a Leicester win.

My Everton top 6 bet was entered incorrectly - the bet was only $40. (And may have been a big mistake... but not THAT big!)

$55 Spurs win.
