nutty nigel 7,531 Posted March 16, 2016 Welcome to week thirty three of our Rays Funds season. This week we have Diesel Doris in charge of the final six. Diesel is a staunch supporter of Rays Funds and picks every week without fail. I know she’d dearly love to win with the final six and has been very unlucky in the past. Trish finally got her name on Ray’s signature with a win on the Norwich bet in February so let’s help her to a double this season with our very best selection from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that are listed on the William Hill web site. It’s got to be Bill Hill this week because we have a free bet thanks to 93V’s unlucky 5/6 last week. It’s our buddy Feedthewolf in charge of the Norwich match picks this weekend for the game at West Brom. Wolfie had a very unlucky 5/6 with the final six picks earlier in the season but he’s a previous winner of the Norwich match bet so we are in very capable hands. Matt, you have a tenner to spend from the PUPs selections and your own. Just waiting for a couple to confirm their weeks for selecting the final six : - 35 02/04/2016 Leeds – conf. 36 09/04/2016 Lessingham - conf. 37 16/04/2016 Wooster – conf. 38 23/04/2016 Yankee 39 30/04/2016 TGD – conf. 40 07/05/2016 Crabby – conf. 41 15/05/2016 NBS There’s a couple of PUPs looking for some people to join them in a quiz team for the NCFSC quiz on 13th April. Details of the quiz can be found here : - http://www.ncfsc.co.uk/events/quiz-evening If you’re interested let me know. Now I’ll hand the thread over to Diesel Doris and Feedthewolf. Remember there’s 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 Trish and Matt ... the thread is yours.......

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted March 16, 2016 Lets get this done early!Leeds to beat Huddersfield please, and a Norwich win (of any description!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted March 16, 2016 Howdy chaps! I''ll be making my picks quite early on Friday – hopefully before 6pm – as I''m out all evening (off to watch Hail Caesar!). Look forward to receiving your ideas.Good luck Trish with the final six – my pick offers a good opportunity to maximise the profits if you''re feeling adventurous. Juventus are a surprisingly long 19/20 to win at city rivals Torino. Since the Old Lady''s surprise 1-0 defeat at Sassuolo in late October, their league form reads P19, W18, D1, L0. Torino have failed to win any of their last four home games, and have only one win in their last 10. As risk-and-reward picks go, this is a real belter!

Hissing Sid 154 Posted March 16, 2016 A Saturday evening offering from Holland this weekFeyenoord (3rd, 8-2-3 25-12 at home) v De Graafschap (2nd bottom, 1-2-10 11-27 away) - HOME WINFor the match bet, a huge dose of positivity.

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted March 16, 2016 Shouldn''t rush these things, as it lopped off the last bit of my message!Good luck to the pickers, can feel a good weekend coming! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 129 Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for the intro Nutty. Really looking forward to doing the picks again. Wednesday can never come around quick enough for me! Haven''t worked out my strategy yet but I do know that I''ll need the help of all the PUPs to do the "double". I''m hoping to post my selections around 9pm on Friday. Good Luck everyone, especially Wolfie with the match bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,555 Posted March 16, 2016 Haven''t got a lot of time for research this week due to an unusually busy social calendar but I had already spotted the match that Hissing Sid has gone for, Feyenoord in 3rd should see off De Graafschap in 17th at odds of 2/9.I''ve been pretty rubbish on the Norwich bet all season ( I think last week''s suggestion-which was cruelly ignored 😠-would have been my first correct one) but I''m persevering and this week I''m going for Draw HT/Norwich FT.I''m off to Madrid this weekend so ''Buena suerte'' to all PUPs and especially Diesel Doris and FTW.

jb 0 Posted March 16, 2016 Ligue 1 for me, where Caen are pushing for a European place and Troyes are hopeless, 2 wins all season and cut adrift. Home win!And I fancy a goal from Jonny Howson in a 1-0 smash and grab for City. Good luck PUPs and OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted March 17, 2016 Hi PUPs I''ll go to Turkey again this week and Besiktas vs. Antalyaspor (home win). For the City bet I''ll go for Klose to bang in a bullet header from a corner (anytime). Best wishes one and all! Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diesel Doris 129 Posted March 17, 2016 For the Norwich bet I''ll go for:HT Draw FT NorwichBest of Luck FTW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted March 17, 2016 Looking back at WBA''s PL home record since their first promotion in 2002, I see that they''ve never gone unbeaten for more than 7 games, and they''ve only done 7 on one occasion (in 2005). Including their current 6 game unbeaten stretch, they''ve gone on a 6 game run 4 times.Therefore I''d go with a large stake on a Norwich win/draw double chance. Note that you can sometimes get a better deal by putting on separate win and draw bets (google the formulae).Good luck FTW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219 Posted March 17, 2016 It''s been a week for searching around for new avenues, expanding horizons and finding business in original places...Slovakia Liga 1:Trencin vs Podbrezova - Home winAs for the Norwich bet, it would churlish and counter-productive not to climb on the positive signs bandwagon and I am already on board singing songs and quaffing from a bottle of moonshine with a piece of straw in my mouth, so:Norwich to win 2-1 and a goal from Patrick Bamford.Very best of luck to Diesel Doris and Lupo 🐕🐕🐕🍝🍝👌👏💁💁💁🎉😘😘🎼🎼🍀💰🍾🇮🇹Parma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ca 1 Posted March 17, 2016 Walsall home win against ColU for me pleaseFor the Norwich bet, I''ve got a good feeling about us beating WBA , Im very confident so Im going 1-2 with Klose to score anytime Good Luck to you both and to all you pups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platonic 1 Posted March 18, 2016 Surprised that no ones gone for the obvious DRAW in the North East derby, so I''ll plump for that.Norwich match screams under 2.5 to me, and if I were even braver I''d go for 1-0 to us, but I''m not, so I''ll stick to unders! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted March 18, 2016 Grimsby to beat Bognor Regis in the second leg of the FA Trophy semi-final for me this week.As for the Norwich bet, Bamford to score would seem appealing to me.Best of luck Trish, FTW and all PUPs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,218 Posted March 18, 2016 Rather like NCFC, my picks seems to be in free-fall at the moment and I''m not quite sure why!Picking on the same philosophy as always, I am going for Walsall vs Colchester home win. Walsall have a great chance of jumping above Wigan into the top two who have a tough game against Bradford. Colchester meanwhile sit 2nd bottom having conceded 84 goals in 36 games - a rather unwanted ratio of 2.3per game. It''s therefore feasible that Walsall will probably score a few goals and with their GD behind Wigan''s and Gillingham''s I''m sure they''ll be looking to put a few past them.As for the match bet, a bit of a wild stab but they have penalty awarded and missed (either side) @15 atm. Might be worth a quid. Knowing our luck anyway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,738 Posted March 18, 2016 A very good morning to you Nutty and wishing good luck to Wolfie and Diesel Doris my fellow quiz winning Nelson Numpty not forgetting of course all you other lovely PUPs out there.I made my mind up last night having two games in the frame throughout the day and i was waiting for nbs to confirm i was taking a big risk with my final choice [:P] but when i got up this morning i find The Nelson round dodger has selected it. [:(]However never change your mind when it comes to betting so it has to be the FA Trophy game and a HOME WIN for GRIMSBY v Bognor Regis at 1/4.For the City game i just cannot see any goals so it has to be 0-0.
