nutty nigel 7,351 Posted April 24, 2015 [quote user="Feedthewolf"]After much deliberating and soul-searching, I have plumped for the following six matches:RED BULL SALZBURG home winVALENCIA home winREGGIANA home winBRISTOL ROVERS home winMET POLICE home winand, with heart in mouth...NORWICH CITY away win.I have sent Eddie £20 to triple the stake, so if everything comes good we should be in for a healthy windfall! Let''s hope that on Monday night we''re all attentively keeping an eye on Valencia''s fortunes...FTW :)[/quote] Fantastic Matt! Thank you for these and for the £20 to treble the bet! What a terrific result we could have if the football Gods are on our side. These look such a good six to me! I''ve placed the bet with Bet365 and the potential return is a mouth watering £174.94. Here are the details : - Met Police 4/11 3:00 Sat Kathy Norwich 8/13 3:00 Sat CTID, FTW, NBS Salzburg 2/11 3:00 Sat Tilly, Josh Bristol Rovers 1/5 5:15 Sat Graham, AJ Reggiana 2/5 2:00 Sun Parma Valencia 1/3 7:45 Mon nutty So we have four tomorrow, one on Sunday and one on Monday. (No pressure there then[:S] ) [;)] I think it''s a good omen that we have Tilly''s pick and the Old Bill together in the final six.... Good luck and many thanks again Wolfie[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted April 24, 2015 [quote user="Lessingham Canary"]Good evening all ! Here are my "Norwich Match Picks",£1 Jonathan Howson to score 1st Goal @ 9/1£2 Norwich to win 3-1 @ 12/1£1 Cameron Jerome to score 2 or more @15/2£1 Bassong to score at anytime @ 11/1£1 scorecast; Howson to score 1st and Norwich win 3-1 @ 75/1All odds taken from bet 365, the scorecast is a blast at glory !Many thanks for all your suggestions and with over 23 suggestions cant use everyone''s but hopefully a reflection of the general consensus and keeps everyone''s interest alive tomorrow afternoon and we can realise the right result.The Rotherham points deduction today made me think a bit harder, but still think if we are serious about promotion we need to go there and win, so expecting an open game with them requiring points more than ever now.Good luck everyone, especially FTW lets make this weekend count and do the PUP''s proud. OTBC[/quote] WOW! What a brilliant job Lessingham. Thank you so much for these. If we get the luck we always need we could add a lot of money to the kitty. I''ve placed the bets to our best advantage and we have : - Howson to score first goal. £1.00 Bet 365 9/1 £10.00 Jerome to score 2 or more £1.00 Bet 365 15/2 £8.50 Bassong to score anytime £1.00 Bet 365 11/1 £12.00 Norwich to win 3-1 £2.00 Bill Hill 14/1 £30.00 Howson 1st Norwich win 3-1 £1.00 Bill Hill 85/1 £86.00 I hope you enjoyed picking and enjoy the match tomorrow and following these selections. There is no pressure because the PUPs are all 100% behind you. Please come back and help the PUPs next week. Whatever happens with these selections having you on board will be a win. Good luck and here''s hoping for a PUPs win and a City win[Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valencia did the business tonight meaning a really unlucky 5/6. Just that Rovrum equaliser stopping that big win for the CSF. And just to rub salt in further the Italian game wasn''t listed with Bill Hill on Friday night so I placed the bet with Bet 365 only to find it listed by Hills on Saturday. So there''s no free bet insurance either! I probably should have waited so that''s down to me. Sorry PUPs. So a really frustrating weekend all round. Here are the stats - 41 PUPs picked with 31 winning (76%). We ended with 26 options of which 17 won (65%). Wolfie''s 5/6 was a good effort considering those stats. Tilly stays top after Salzburg''s win but Purple keeps the pressure on with just 2 weeks remaining. Pick of the week was certainly Wooster as he correctly picked another draw at 2.47.

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted April 27, 2015 Now we had some discussion about the profitability ratings that Parma helped me to compile earlier this season. I''m sure the idea has proved to be a success as. So while the league will be decided by the league table above for this season I think we should discuss ways of how we could incorporate profitability to a greater extent in the summer in time for next season. Below is how the league looks sorting by profitability with the proviso that the picker has picked in half the available weeks. The thing that strikes me is that 27 PUPs have made a profit from the pound they started with.

wooster 134 Posted April 28, 2015 Nigel,My idea of multiplying the win rate by the profitability level then combines reliability with "value", for want of a better word. This assumes equal weighting to each measure though I''m sure there''s argument for placing greater weight on reliability, given that we have to get 6 out of 6 to actually add to the PUPs pot.I like Parma''s idea of a parallel competition.
