Before I get to today's selections I first want to mention something that nearly passed me by.

Back in the summer the Betting Rant ran a competition to find the best amateur tipster.

All the selections were made public and the followers of the website voted to decide the eventual winner.

It was all done in weekly rounds like the X Factor and they called it the T Factor!

I followed along with this and got some great tips along the way including those of the eventual winner, Miles Tredwell.

The Betting Rant has now launched a tipping service with Miles's tips and it's nearly sold out.

I was planning to tell you all about this next week, but it looks like it will be sold out by then.

Hence my rather rushed summary today.
