BEAT THE BOOKIE 2021/22 week 1 fixtures

paulbaconsarnie · August 2021

With nobody wanting to take the reigns it’s a welcome back from me to a new season of Charlton Life’s annual betting competition Beat the Bookie.
Whether you’re aiming to topple last seasons champion @Big_Bob off of his perch, get the better of a mate or group of friends or just use this as a barometer for whatever reason you choose, I hope all winners are backed in reality.
The vast majority of feedback was to leave the competition as it is, which I intend to do apart from including the league one fixtures this weekend (as there’s no premiership matches). I will also review what fixtures are put up during FA cup weekends.
I’d also like to introduce the cousins of Pessimist Pete and Hopeful Harriet of the CL prediction league fame.
So please welcome Negative Nerys and Rose Tinted Roger, who will bet on the Charlton, Millwall and Palace matches each weekend (that they have games). I’ll leave you guessing as to how they will bet.

The Rules

Each week a selection from the weekends games will be posted up.
Each weekend you'll be given a virtual tenner to put on either a single, double or treble.
Simply post your bet from the selections and we'll work out peoples virtual winnings/losses over the season.
If you don't use your bet you get -£10 for that week for competition purposes but we do also keep track with your profit/loss if laid with a real bookie.
If you know you're going to be away and don't want to miss the week then PM me with your selections.
Any newbie coming in will start on the same balance as the lowest in the competition.

If altering bets due to postponements, please do so by making a fresh post rather than editing the original post.
Any bets affected by postponements will be settled using remaining selections unless the match is rearranged and played the following midweek. If all selections are cancelled (and bet not updated), you will get a £20 stake for the next round.

Below are this weeks fixtures. Please note the dates and kick off times and good luck
