Challenge Lawro’s Predictions: 15th August

The Premier League is back. Woohoo! Boy it’s been a long Summer eh?

And Challenge Lawro is back too with an almighty BANG! After the fun we had last season, (it was fun wasn’t it?) I’ve only gone and lined up a sponsor for this season’s Challenge, which now means that you can win FREE BETS and a BUMPER END OF SEASON PRIZE if you prove to be the best tipster and beat the moustachio’d one, Lawro.

So it’s a big welcome aboard and “Thank You!” to our sponsors BetUK, who have put up some cracking prizes that means we’ll all need to up our game to get close to landing a FREE BET prize.

How does it work?

The format is still the same; you’ll have a virtual £10 bet on each result and correct score in the Premier League (or whatever games Lawro is predicting over at bbc.co.uk that week). For each of your picks you’ll need to go the BetUK site and get the odds for that result or correct score. For every prediction you get right, your virtual winnings will be added to your total. The idea is to ‘win’ more money than Lawro and your fellow Challengers.

What Can I Win?

BetUK have kindly put up a FREE £25 BET for whoever ‘wins’ the most virtual money each month. That means I’ll be keeping a monthly table up-to-date as well as a season-long table (they’ll be here). Whoever tops the table at the end of the season will win a massive £100 FREE BET. This is really generous of BetUK so please feel free to have a look at their site and sign-up for an account by clicking here.

Because we’re now playing for prizes there are a few rules that can be found here so please take a look.

So, let’s get started! Here’s Lawro’s predictions for this weekend’s fixtures (tbc) with odds from BetUK. Leave your predictions in the comments below and Good Luck!
