    Before I put up this week's scores, a quick question for Howson - where did you get those odds from? Big difference between the 2.62 Winrew got on Friday night and the 3.2 you got on Saturday morning.

    After having a discussion with Howson today he's adamant that his picks were from Saturday.
    He did mention though that bet365 does remember previous picks so if you are shortlisting beforehand and log in a day or two later the picks are still there so maybe this is what has happened.

    If that did happen then I'm quite sure he wouldn't mind taking the odds Winrew got to level the playing field.

    Either way for the fairness of the comp all screenshots should be at the current odds at the time you post up your screenshot, It does say this in the rules.

    RC randomly checks these odds against the screenshots with a leeway of 24hrs since the screenshot was posted to be as fair as possible and if you are not in this window you will be flagged.

    Please do double check that the odds you submit are the same odds that are on offer at the time of posting, If not you will be disqualified from the comp.

    Highest overall score: Howson 22.1pts (week 8)

    Well done to Traeth for the week's highest score, from a single selection as well. Slick and ODM close the gap slightly on Howson.

    As Slick mentions above, Howson has been given the same odds Winrew got for Morecambe. Just to clarify, there's no reason why two players with the same selection can't have different prices. It's happened plenty of times before. But when one player gets odds of 2.62 at midnight on Friday, and another player gets odds of 3.2 about 12 hours later, such a big change in a short time raises suspicions. All the more so when a historical odds comparison site says that the price of 3.2 hadn't been available since the Tuesday.

    Players are, of course, free to take early prices, as long as they put their selections up early too (if the thread's not already been started, start one yourself, we'll adapt it afterwards). But prices posted have to be valid at the time you're posting them. You can't, for example, make a pre-selection early in the week, take a screenshot, look at the prices again at the weekend, and post up your earlier screenshot if the odds were better in that one.

    And one more thing - we've discovered another potential loophole (nothing at all to suggest that anyone has exploited this, just something that we've realised is possible). From now, could players all include in their screenshots the combined odds for the 5-fold (i.e. in the screenshot below, where it says 206.32). No extra work involved, just going a little bit further down the screen in your screenshot
