Have you ever put a banker bonus and security on the same fixture?

And Robin, I think you get three lives, where if you miss one, they auto fill it for you.

A. The system will automatically enter values for any predictions that you have missed based on the league positions of the relevant teams. If you do not enter any predictions for 3 consecutive weeks the system will cease to enter any predictions and you will score 0 points for each fixture until you start playing the game again.

Yes frequently.

I did it a lot last season and I believe the guy that pipped me at the post to win it did as well. Most people like to use their banker on a 3x match and you'll rarely get a 3x with the big 4, so in those cases the insurance can be a useful hedge, whereas with the big 4 it's probably not necessary.

This week was a good example, Chelsea was only a 2x so used the banker on Wigan v Blackpool instead, and thankfully the insurance.

I'm not convinced that there's a game winning strategy in the way you play your banker/insurance cards,though I respect the arguments for using them both on the same fixture at times.

I usually go for a x3 game when playing my banker,but as this was the first week,and I wasn't convinced that it was a foregone conclusion that Wigan would stuff Blackpool I opted for what I believed would be points in the bag and went for the x2 Chelsea v WBA as my banker,and having changed my Liverpool v Arsenal 1-1 forecast at the last minute to a Liverpool win,insured against it.

So I finished with a +20 overall outcome instead of the fat zero which those who used both cards on the Wigan v Blackpool game got.

I still finished with a 0 gamescore overall though,but I'll settle for that in what was a tricky week to kick off the season with.

I'm glad that I put my insurance on my banker tip - the Wigan vs. Blackpool game - and I'll probably do this most of the time. I will place my banker always on a x3, so it makes sense to me to have the possible loss covered (a -30 if that one fails vs. a -10 if another tip fails). Due to my believes that I will probably forget to place my tips I have already tipped some gameweeks in advance, so that i just need to adjust them if I think that there is need to do so. Every gameweek I tipped already has the banker on a x3 covered by the insurance.

Now,if he does it again this season,he may be onto something.........I'm glad I haven't got that weight of expectation on my shoulders :wink:


Well - I didn't use that tactic the previous year and came nowhere :) !

After a great first couple of weeks, I thought I had this game sussed. Since then, I've scored +10 and -20. Huth's last second winner turned a potential +30 into a -10, but I have Etherington in one of my work fantasy teams. I was so torn about whether to be happy or not.....
