Winner Stays On / Editor / 20 August 2010 /

Lady Margaret didn't stay on but Mr Keano did. Here's what he's gone for this week as he takes on Gleeman...

Lady Margaret bit the dust this midweek as Mr Keano knocked him out in convincing fashion. The latter can thank St Albans and Basingstoke for playing out a bore 0-0 draw after he' d picked the stalemate at [3.4]. He was on to another winner as Werder Bremen (a [1.78] selection)thrashed Sampdoria 3-1 and despite also fancying Spurs to beat the brilliantly named Young Boys, his first two selections were more than enough to send our week one winner packing, whose lay of Spurs was his only winner.

This weekend Mr Keano takes on Gleeman.The selected matches are:

Leeds v Millwall
Hamburg v Schalke
Fulham v Manchester United

Here are their selections:

Mr Keano

Back Man Utd to beat Fulham at 1.61for £10
Back Leeds to beat Millwall at 2.34 for £10
Back the Draw in Hamburg v Schalke at 3.45 for £10

Gleeman

Back over 2.5 goals in Fulham v Man Utd at 2.06 for £10
Back Leeds to beat Millwall at 2.34
Back under 2.5 goals in Hamburg v Schalke at 1.91

Here's a reminder of the rules:

1. Send an e-mail to winnerstayson@betfair.com (entries are currently closed) with the words "I want to stay on" plus your name, e-mail address and telephone number. Please also state whether you'd like to use your real name or your Forum name for the purposes of the competition, should you get the chance to play. You are not allowed to use your Betfair username for the purposes of this competition. If you instruct us to use your real name, this shall be treated as consent to our publishing your name on both the Betfair Forum and https://betting.betfair.com/in relation to this competition.

2. You must have an active Betfair account to take part in Winner Stays On (WSO).

3. Betfair will pick fifteen names at random to be the first fifteen contestants of WSO. Once all fifteen have played, we will give Betfair users another chance to enter the draw for a chance to play WSO. Chosen contestants will be contacted by phone (and e-mail) to make them aware they have been selected to play. If Betfair can't contact a selected contestant within 24 hours of them being selected, another one will play in their place and the original contestant who couldn't be reached won't be given another chance to play WSO. The initial draw will be made at 11am on Thursday 12th August; the timings of any further draws will be revealed nearer the time. Selections for the game must be received by 5pm on Thursday for the weekend game and by 5pm on Monday for the mid-week game.

4. In each round of WSO, two contestants will be pitted against each other. Each contestant will make a selection from one market on each of three football matches picked by Betfair. Contestants can make their selections on any market available on Betfair.com related to the chosen matches. Each of the contestants' selections will equate to a £10 "fictitious" back bet or a "fictitious" lay to a liability of £10. This means that no real money will be used to fund the bets in WSO, and customers will not receive any real money from their winning selections, except as set out in these terms and conditions.

5. In each round of WSO, the winner is the contestant who has the greatest net profit (or the smallest net loss) across the three markets. The winner stays on to play in the following round against a new contestant picked randomly by Betfair. If both contestants have three losing bets in any one round, both are eliminated and two new contestants shall be selected. If the two contestants have the exact same profit (or loss provided all three selections aren't losers as per above) they will go head-to-head again the following week.

6.The odds for contestants' selections that are valid for the purposes of the competition are those taken from Betfair.com at the time of publishing the selections of the two contestants on https://betting.betfair.com/ for the upcoming round of WSO.

7.WSO will be run twice a week with selections published on a Monday relating to midweek matches and on a Friday relating to weekend matches.

8. If a contestant wins five consecutive rounds of WSO, they will receive £100 credited to their Betfair account and a further £100 for every subsequent five consecutive rounds they win. There is no limit on the number of weeks a contestant stays on.

9. Betfair's decision is final on all matters relating to WSO.

10. Betfair Standard Promotional Terms & Conditions apply.
