Board
The football tips board finished 20–26 October 2026 at −32.73u from 878 settled picks: 405 wins, 419 losses and 54 voids. Win rate was 49%, with ROI of −4%.
The window covers seven London kick-off days, including today. This is a snapshot of settled picks; pending picks are excluded and today's figures can still change. There were 52 tipsters with a settled pick, with 46 reaching the five-pick floor for the weekly rankings.
One unit (1u) means one stake per pick. Win rate excludes voids; ROI is net units divided by wins plus losses. Records show wins, losses and, where present, voids.
Top winners
These are the top 15 tipsters by net units, with at least five settled picks each.
