nutty nigel 7,536 Posted May 10, 2015 [quote user="Canary Lad"]This is Gingerpele can''t log into my proper account on anything other than my computer for some reason... Proper gutted about the Hull result, they let down my own main bet yesterday as well. I won''t say sorry as I know you don''t like that Eddie, but yeah I so want to be on that list of winners, I know how much you appreciate my contribution to this thread and I do hope to come meet you properly next week if you''re at the Nelson, proper gutting to not add to the pot this week. And at HT agains Ipswich I thought we might be on for couple of match bets as we''ll wasn''t to be this week unfortunately :([/quote] I''m gutted too Sonny because it was my suggestion. But you''re right, we are all giving it our best shot and nobody needs to say sorry for doing their best. Both games went our way today so we finished with 5/6 meaning the bet insurance kicked in so we have a free bet for next week. Except there is no final six next week!!! So I have an idea to use that tenner. Now I can''t put up the league tables yet because there are two Monday games. But the top of the leagues will not change. The main league will be : - 1. Tilly 93%2. Chelle 90%3. Purple 90% The profitability league will be :- 1. Lapps +8.30 or + 6.972. Wolfie +6.883. Mandie +6.68 So what I am proposing is that these six PUPs each make a selection next weekend and we use the free bet to fund that bet. We can do this via email and I post the six selections anonymously or we can select on a thread as usual. What do you PUPs think as it''s only a suggestion?

TIL 1010 4,748 Posted May 10, 2015 I was going to use the platform of tonight''s TV BAFTAs for my acceptance speech but in view of Ginger turning up in The Nelson next Saturday I will save it for then. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Nutty, if we are having an NCFC thread then this group of six reprobates will presumably be posting their selections for that there, so they may as well add their individual choices for this excellent idea of an extra accumulator.

chellecity 0 Posted May 10, 2015 Great idea Nutty, and as Purple says, if there''s to be a match bet thread we can post selections on there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted May 11, 2015 Sincere apologies for my absence this weekend – been out the country and unable to log in on my phone. If it''s not too late, Eddie, may I back Feyenoord to beat Vitesse this evening? I would be delighted to pick a match for next weekend, great idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''d remembered you were away. But it''s very brave of you. If Feyenoord win you keep your place in the top three profitability. If they don''t win Yellowfuture will take your place.

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted May 11, 2015 Three games today and not one winner for our PUPs. I''m gutted for Wolfie but making a selection was in keeping with the great spirit he''s played the game this season. In the end 40 PUPs picked this weekend 25 won (63%). this figure is boosted because 10 were on our "banker" in Manchester City. In total there were 22 different suggestions of which 10 won (45%). Gingerpele didn''t have much chance with those stats and his 5/6 was a real achievement. So it is congratulations to Tilly who won our league for the second time in three seasons. Also well done to Chelle and Purple who finished on 90% to be second and third. Wolfie and Yellowfuture, in their first full season, were right up there til the death too. With CD who may be a big threat next year if he lasts the course. Mr Angry has taken over Purple''s globe trotting title and had a great season picking from 40 (I think) different countries. And of course Wooster and his draw picks were legendary. But you all win the accolade of raising a record amount for the CSF. With money still coming in the total this season is £1163! And it will rise some more. Anyway, thank you all for making this so easy for me to administrate. What a fantastic team you are!! Here''s that final league table showing those with at least 50% correct from at least half the available weeks. Those above the line will be selecting this final six next season : - PUP Wins Picks Win% Profitability Til1010 37 40 93% 3.71 Chellecity 36 40 90% 4.74 Purple Canary 36 40 90% 4.68 Yellowfuture 34 38 89% 6.38 CD Mullins 21 24 88% 2.64 Feedthewolf 33 38 87% 5.88 Beauseant 22 26 85% 0.32 Mandie Moo 32 38 84% 6.68 Mr Angry 33 40 83% 3.93 jb 33 40 83% 2.77 Twidio 18 22 82% 2.21 Hector Brockelbank 30 37 81% 2.04 Cosmic Twin 32 40 80% -1.19 Mandie Moo''s Mear Kat 28 35 80% 2.23 Herman 31 39 79% 4.65 Parma ham''s gone mouldy 31 39 79% 3.71 Vindo 29 37 78% -1.31 Splutcho 25 32 78% 6.25 Kathy 27 35 77% 2.62 Jellytot 22 29 76% 4.00 Diesel Doris 29 39 74% 3.93 Bor Bor Bor 26 35 74% 3.02 Statto28 27 37 73% -3.01 Hissing Sid 29 40 73% 0.56 Inchy 28 39 72% 1.94 Leedscanary 24 34 71% -4.16 NWC 19 27 70% -1.71 nutty nigel 28 40 70% 0.82 AJ 28 40 70% 0.30 Yankee 28 40 70% -3.62 Gregt 23 33 70% 3.51 Lappinitup 27 39 69% 6.97 Graham Humphrey 27 39 69% -1.09 Mr Apples 27 39 69% -1.62 Trent Canary 27 39 69% -4.78 Swindoncanary 25 38 66% -6.61 Cityangel 23 35 66% 0.44 Lake District Canary 21 32 66% 1.31 GMF 24 37 65% -2.22 Norfolkchance1 23 36 64% 2.56 Gingerpele 13 21 62% -0.36 City-til-I-die 20 34 59% -5.41 DDD 15 28 54% -6.90 Pauls Ferry 11 22 50% -2.70 Now thanks to the help I received from Parma we''ve also had a profitabilty column this season. This has been a great success. The point of the league is to focus minds and help the PUP in the hotseat with their selections. And we know that the profitability column has done that. So it''s congratulations to Lappinitup who topped the profitability practically all season. Lapp turned his original £1 into £6.97. I bet Tilly wishes his bank paid that sort of inerest!![;)] Mandie, Yellowfuture and Splutcho also showed great profits. And Wolfie was there until Feyenoord!! But incredibly 31 PUPs who''d picked in at least half the weeks finished in credit!

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted May 12, 2015 Haha! Hadn''t realised that it would jeopardise my place in the final six, otherwise I''d have kept quiet! I picked Feyenoord pretty much at random as I''d been out the country all weekend... still, not a bad effort for my first season. And a brilliant season all round by everyone – congratulations to Tilly and Lapps on their table-topping skills, and massive good luck to the ''super six'' this weekend.
