BEAT THE BOOKIE 2025/26 - Week 2 & 3 results - No fixtures this week due to internationals

Leeds_Addick

As mentioned last week I was away and so this thread is results from both weeks 2 and 3. No fixtures this week due to internationals - week 4 fixtures will be posted up midweek.

Week 2

0 out of 70 lifers got a return in week 

@Tutt-Tutt in front overall.

Collectively we would have been £788.2 down across the season if placed with the real bookie.

I'm somewhat surprised we did so badly as a group this week. I've double checked the picks and results so I'm fairly confident it's right but if anyone thinks they were a winner please let me know.

Week 3

3 out of 70 lifers got a return in week 3.

@Charlton_Stu is the weekly winner with picks of a win for Queens Park Rangers against Charlton Athletic (3.0), a win for Sunderland against Brentford (2.88) and a win for Liverpool against Arsenal (2.05) netting £177.12.

As a result @Charlton_Stu is now the new leader.

Collectively we would have been £1170.31 down across the season if placed with the real bookie.

Tutt-Tutt

Yeah, week 2 I had…

ARSENAL v Leeds 5-0
BOURNEMOUTH v Wolves 1-0
West Ham v CHELSEA 1-5

cheers

Following a message from @MrOneLung (which gives some context to your comment @Tutt-Tutt - I didn't notice the capitals at the time) I realised that there was in fact a little mistake in how I had calculated the results.

To summarise, I'm using one API to grab the results and a different API for the odds. It just so happens that some team names are slightly different between the 2 sources e.g. (Brighton and Hove Albion / Brighton & Hove Albion) (Bournemouth / AFC Bournemouth).

This meant that some team names didn't match and so for some selections it didn't register the win. This didn't impact week 1 but did impact the results for weeks 2 and 3.

So... updated results.

Week 2

4 out of 70 lifers got a return in week 2.

@LenGlover is the weekly winner with picks of a win for Bournemouth against Wolverhampton Wanderers (1.75), a win for Liverpool against Newcastle United (2.05) and a win for Chelsea against West Ham United (1.67) netting £59.91.

@Tutt-Tutt in front overall.

Collectively we would have been £573.66 down across the season if placed with the real bookie.

Week 3

4 out of 70 lifers got a return in week 3.

@MrOneLung is the weekly winner with picks of a win for Brighton and Hove Albion against Manchester City (4.0), a win for Liverpool against Arsenal (2.05) and a win for Sunderland against Brentford (2.88) netting £236.16.

This means that @MrOneLung is now in front overall. Apologies to @Charlton_Stu for the misleading update last week!

Collectively we would have been £709.61 down across the season if placed with the real bookie.

Apologies to anyone that this impacted - I thought this might happen eventually but I have a few more checks in place now as a result so hoping it won't happen again!
