I am signing up to the following if any body wishes to follow me. I will update and post the league table on this thread. Did ok last season but joined late and was unable to catch up the leaders. Here's hoping for a better result this season!!
---------
http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/challengelawro/index.shtml
The new Premiership season kicks off on Saturday and this year BBC Radio Five Live's Challenge Lawro will be bigger and better than ever! What's more - we've also teamed up with BBC Sport's Football Focus. Tune into BBC One every Saturday from noon for the Premiership pre-match build-up and to hear the presenters give their predictions on the weekends' Premiership action.
Win with Challenge Lawro
The prizes aren't bad either - the Manager of the Month is invited onto Five Live's Drive programme to give Peter Jane and Mark, their footie predictions...and also awarded one of our shiny new Manager of the Month medals. At the end of the season, the player who has scored the most points, will be presented with a special Challenge Lawro trophy by the man himself. They will also be offered the chance to come into our London studios to be a pundit with Mark Lawrenson!
Last season, over 120,000 people registered to play Challenge Lawro. If you think you can take on your friends to be the champion of champions, then get playing now!

Scrip,
Watched most of the England Game, but had to keep switching over to see how many more players that lunatic had sent off!! Great result for NI and England though. England, however look good going forward, with the exception of Owen, who really is nothing like the player he was, but look v dodgy at the back sometimes. Same old England.
Whatever, a win is a win and judging by how poorly Wales played and defended against 9 men, roll on Old Trafford.

England never seem to inspire you with confidence do they? But based upon what I have seen of the others in the qualifying group I can't see England not qualifying.

The Match Odds table you have posted (44/46). What does all that mean?

It means that at half time I had worked a position that meant I would win 574 whatever happened.

Scrip,
Whilst delighted you came out on top, you haven't really answered the question!!

Sorry mis-interpreted the request!!
The table you see are the odds at half time in this match. In the back column poland are 16-1 to win the match, England 1.36 to 1. If you divide one by digital odds you get the implied probability so 1/1.36=73.5%
If you lay an event you are saying that it will not happen so I could lay England at half time and the odds would have swung in my favour when the polish equalised. The odds jumped back up to around 2 when the Polish goal went in.

Catching up on Lawro after 1 weeks selections with Spurs still to play.
Scrip - You mentionned that you couldn't find my nickname Crrefree on the site - Can you advise if I need to log on to a league table, or similar ?
PS : More points for me had the ref given Drogba a deserved penalty.

yes had a poor weekend but just 1 goal out in 4 games. chelsea should have had a pen. bolton player was fouled by united player for the goal, and that joker for crystal palace to score a own goal like that. It is a fine line between success and failure.

Doing well at half time! Was going to have a punt on a few matches but thought I'd let them all get the dust off the boots first.

Just 2 points today, expect to be down the list later. Strange results, usual refereing calamities by the sound of it.

I opposed Arsenal to win today. The bookies were offering a very short price on Arsenal and after their performance midweek and Boltons strong start to the season it looked mad to me.

I thought I would post up my alter ego who is doing remarkably well in the charts. Much to all our distaste its selections don't use any logic at all!! I suspect over the course of the season we should catch it up if we are using any skill at all!!!
