THE Open Tipster Competition 2015

[MereNovice]

Cheapskate £10 entry for me please

Excellent. Hopefully that will get the ball rolling in an avalanche of £10 entries.

I'd like to remind people that they can enter for free too if they just want to join in the "fun".
Opinions can be expressed for free in this competition.
