Well its either Last show or SP, simply because it is quite hard to find out what price a bookie had a horse at that point.

Can we all just stick to one thieving bookie aswell?

Not really - it's far easier than the football - just click on the horse on oddschecker and it will tell you what price it was with which firm and at what time.

I don't think you should limit what you can tip in football. If you're going to do that, you'd need to limit rugby too. It has to be an even playing field. It's probably best not to limit things anyway as you can get plenty more value on other things rather than tipping simply a win or draw.

It is a level playing field.

In any sport one bet a day...single only

Do not see a problem with that.

The rugby was a case of you can pick a handicap single or a 80 minutes single. Think that should apply for Speedway and the US Sports too.

In my opinion it should be at SP as Oddschecker's own tipping comp is but it is checkable so if people think it should be at the time of posting then fair enough.

My main reason for thinking it should be SP is Rule 4 will not come into it very often, someone who posts tips at 10am everyday and it is likely to be a factor 3 or 4 times a week.

Anyone fancy collating the rules into one simple post?

Ok I will give it a go and edit it if people disagree.

I'd be up for this, when's the actual starting date? Monday?

1 bet a day. Tips posted by 1pm.......tips can be posted the night before if you can not get on the net in the day but please mark in bold that they are for the following day to avoid confusion.

£10 mythical single.

Any sport. Odds must be offered by Bet 365 whose price will be the one that winnings are calculated on. You must quote the price and any handicap mark on your tip post.

Events must finish on the day it is posted (or overnight in the case of US sports)...ie no pre-golf tournament outrights, test matches etc for ease of compiling the results.

Horses and dogs win only. Greyhounds need to be named and if they are non runners the reserve will not count.

Football Home Win/Away Win/Draw only (90 mins).

Rugby, Speedway, US Sports. Handicap Singles or outright singles.

Darts, Snooker, Golf 2 or 3 balls win only (no handicap bets allowed).

We need to decide on Horse Racing rules.....Rule 4 and First Past The Post are two areas that might cause controversy.

Also what to do if you pick a non runner, does the 1pm deadline still apply????

It may be me reading wrong but your rules gives me the impression that we can only bet on the outright of football/rugby results etc?
