Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 1

Recommended Posts

It’s great to be back and I’m so proud that we are embarking on the 9th

season of Rays Funds. Thanks to the generosity of you PUPs we are setting out

in the strongest position ever. So thank you all for the tenners I’ve already

received. This is not “pay to play” but obviously we do need 40 tenners to run

the season. So if you’d like to send a tenner the paypal is canaryeddie@aol.com . Or of course I’ll

be in The Nelson after Saturday’s game.

 

 

I have been overwhelmed by the support I’ve had to keep these threads

going. Our anonymous benefactor has generously stepped forward again to sponsor

the Norwich match bet and actually increased the amount so we will have ten

pounds to invest on the match bet as well as the final six accumulator. And you

PUPs have been superstars sending me donations and pledges as well as the

tenners meaning that since our presentation last March we already have £409

banked ready for the next one!

 

 

Last season you were all amazing and I think we’ll have an even stronger

team this time around. I just checked back on last year’s opening post and our

total raised over the years was £2694. This now stands at an amazing £3934

meaning that over the last year you fantastic team of PUPs have managed to

raise an incredible £1240. That is truly amazing and I know that the CSF think

so too.

 

 

So welcome all PUPs old and new to week one of our new Rays Funds

season. To get us underway I’m pleased to say we have our current champion, the

winner of last season’s PUPs League, Til1010 in charge of the six match

accumulator and making the final selections. Tilly was champion for the second

time last season. A lot has been said about Tilly’s skinny odds on his quest

for glory but what’s not always said is how useful it is to have a banker

selection when picking the final six. And with last season’s success rate of 37

winners from 40 selections Tilly certainly provided that. But it’s not just his

selections that help our group. Tilly’s also always very supportive of me, all

you PUPs and these threads.

 

 

Thanks to our generous benefactor we have the Norwich match bet again

this season. As last year we are hoping that these final selections will be

made by PUPs who won’t be picking the final six this season. Top PUP and poster

Crabbycanary will be making this week’s match bet selection. Crabby already has

his name proudly displayed on Ray’s signature having won with his match bet

selections last time so he’ll be aiming to repeat that feat this weekend. This

time you haver a tenner to spend Crabby. It’s entirely up to you how you split

the money. It can anything from one bet for a tenner to ten one pound bets made

either from the PUPs suggestions or of your own.

 

 

Good as Tilly and Crabby are they will need all your help to find the

selections to start us off with a winning week. So I hope you PUPs are back

from the summer break ready and refreshed to give them the options they need. Don’t

forget your selections must be listed on Bet365 or Bill Hill and for the

accumulator the matches must be played Sat/Sun/Mon this weekend. For the PUPs

who are new this season please just ask on the thread if you’re unsure and you’ll

get any guidance you need.

 

 

 

Here’s the rota for the rest of August’s final six all of which have

been confirmed : -

Aug  8th -

Til1010

Aug 15th - LDC

Aug 22nd - Mr

Apples

Aug 29th -

Aug  8th -

Crabbycanary

Aug 15th - Wes

Aug 29th

Don’t forget that Kathy has managed to get us a BOGOF on this season’s

Canary Challenge. If you haven’t entered yet then get your entries to Kathy

before Saturday. Any winnings from the free entry will go to our presentation pot

for the CSF. Details here : -

http://www.canariestrust.org/

This website won’t let you enter your BOGOG PUPs entry though. You will need to

email that to Kathy kblake@crowshall.co.uk 

 

 

We also have a PUPs league once again in the Sky Sports Super Six. If

you play this just select “Leagues” then “Join League” in the options and our

code is W51VXZ.

 

 

That’s it from me for now although I’ve probably forgotten something! Ill hand the thread over to Til101 and Crabbycanary.

Remember theres no pressure because we are

all going to be doing our best to help you to success. We all stand together

with the single aim of raising money for the Community Sports Foundation.

 

 

Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away John and Jeff ... the thread is

yours.......[:)]...........

Thanks for the intro Nutty and as ''er indoors is out tonight at ladies darts I am on the case and studying the fixtures. Mind you the first week of the season is notoriously difficult with some freaky results bound to happen. I shall be watching this thread over the next couple of days to see what my fellow PUPs pick and I shall be keeping a special eye out for that feckin'' Wolfie not forgetting of course my other critic from across the pond. [;)]

Come on guys and gals get the picks picked.

Welcome back everybody! Looking forward to another season of extracurricular excitement - as if being back in the Premier League wasn''t enough, we have our weekly dose of PUPs power! I''ve sent my contribution to you via Paypal, Eddie.So my pick for ''that feckin Tilly'' is Man City to win away to West Brom. As you say, Tilly, always tough to predict on the first weekend, and choosing an away win is particularly risky - however, 8/13 seems pretty generous given the cornucopia of attacking talent City have on offer.Bayern Munich, by the way, are a staggering 1/100 this weekend - sounds ideal for your pick! In all seriousness, though, the very best of luck. Everything crossed that you can get us off to a winning start.As for the match bet, I''ll go for a ''double result'' - Palace half-time, draw full-time. Seems a pretty plausible outcome given the quality Palace possess going forward, and 14/1 seems very generous to me.Allez les PUPs!

Nutty,

Thanks again for this very enjoyable stream & good luck to Til & Crabby for this weekend''s picks.

This season I think I''ll concentrate on draws (not that it worked that well last year) or away wins rather than go for the obvious Barcelona vs Blind School stuff.

So this week I''m suggesting Southampton to win at Newcastle at 6/4.

For the Norwich game I''m going for a 2-2 draw at 16/1.

Good luck everyone else

Good to see this thread again, at last the new season is nearly upon us. Thanks as always to NN for administering this, and of course our anonymous benefactor for the match bets.

My pick this week is from the Austrian Bundesliga - SK Rapid Vienna v RZ Pellets WAC - home win.

For the match bet, how about a Norwich win, with Jerome scoring last.

Good luck all.

Hi all, Pups are here so we know the season is truly just around the corner! Exciting times.

To open my account for this season I''m going for Wycombe vs York home win.

Wycombe narrowly missed out on promotion through use playoffs last season and I''m sure will be one of the favourites to go up this season. As for York they finished just 10 points clear of the relegation zone. Home win for Wycombe on the cards for me.

For the Norwich bet I''m wondering if Norwich have the possibility of keeping a clean sheet.

So pleased that this thread is back, well done Eddie and all the pinkun pups for keeping it going.

So firstly good luck to Tilly and Crabby, hope its a winning double to start us off

I always pick from the Championship so am sticking with that league, so for me its an easy home win for Hull v Huddersfield.

For the Norwich bet how about 2-1 or Jerome to score anytime??

Will give you some money Sat Eddie x
