Here's the BBC's predictor game in case anyone wants to hedge IKTS bets to see how you do. No banker or security, just straight score. Pete :cheers:

"Predict the exact score and win 40 points. You get 10 points for the correct result (win, loss or draw). The final score is 90 minutes plus stoppage time."....

Well, I suppose there's nothing like consistency - ie a mass of -10s in the first week so far. Just as well I got one score correct and the banker pulled through.

:laugh: I'm probably light years behind the rest of you, but have just read my Gameweek 3 Review - the first time in umpteen years of playing IKTS. It made me laugh.......................
BigBoy2535 hits new heights

A big 120 points gain in Gameweek 3 saw BigBoy2535 leap 96,421 places from 135,088th to 38,667th on the 2016/17 Championship Leaderboard.

BigBoy2535 played their Banker well on the Manchester City vs West Ham United game, whilst taking Insurance on the Crystal Palace vs. Bournemouth game proved a shrewd move.

This week's score was boosted by a Banker Bonus of 10

How many other poor punters put their banker on Manchester United? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I've had enough of Mourinho. He's special in his own mind only. Past his prime and past his usefulness. Let's see how far he can go in destroying this team. :roll: Pete :cheers:

Of course I'd never put a banker against West Ham ... I had mine on the Saints ...

Not me! After losing 4 bankers on the trot - and that's never happened before, I finally got one right!

I remember looking at my picks this week, and thinking how poor they were, but I never change them - just rely on my initial gut feeling. When I saw my score of +55, I was OK with it, but not enough to look at the rest of the results.

Don't worry, it's a double week this week. Everybody will recover, and I will probably slip.
