Early Season PuPs bets

[nutty nigel 7,533]

[quote user="Baldyboy"]Nutty, I''m not sure how this all works but am interested in taking part next season , would appreciate it if you could PM me with what to do please? Many thanks[/quote]

I''d rather keep this for all to see if that''s ok Baldy. It''s not that easy to explain really because, like anything that runs

for a long time, the original idea has grown. But I''ll try...

 

RAYS FUNDS

 

• ·        
  PUPS
  is an online community of Norwich fans based all over UK / Abroad on the
  Pink Un message board.
• ·        
  Ray
  was my good friend Ray Ducker who sadly passed away in 2009. We used to
  run this together. He has his own section on the Pink Un dedicated to his
  posts which were a joy.
• ·        
  Called
  PUPs because we are the Pink Un Pickers  who try and select a winning
  line of 6 correct results each week where the winnings go to the CSF and
  specifically focused on the Downes Syndrome football team.
• ·        
  So
  each season the PUPs send a tenner each to cover 40 weeks of stake money.
• ·        
  We
  also have an anonymous benefactor who finances a tenner each week on the
  Norwich game. Again all winnings go to the CSF.
• ·        
  Pink
  Un message board posters also make other donations / pledges where the
  money goes straight into the presentation pot.  

 

This weekend in February is a good snapshot of how it all works. On the

Friday I was sent £50 from a Pink Un poster who had sold 2 tickets that were

not being used on condition the money went into our presentation pot. Then the

week’s six results all won adding £60 to the presentation pot. After the

Saturday''s match a Pink Un poster who was over from Romania came and found me

and handed me £20 for the presentation pot. And on the Sunday another Pink Un

poster sent me £15 from his mid-season pledge. So that weekend’s events added

£145 to the presentation pot. We presented £2000 last month and already have

£164 towards the next presentation.

 

Hope that makes some sort of sense.

[quote user="Mr Apples"]"I''ll pledge £1 for every week (as of Sunday evenings) City spend in the top 6."

Hi all, I made this bet when things were looking good and we were flying high, without a care in the world...how quickly things change!

I make it we were in the top 6 for 13 weeks and will top that up for £20 for the fund.

£20 of Scotia''s best funny money heading your way NN.

[quote user="wooster"][quote user="wooster"]OK Nutty, it''s time for a Christmas/New Year/Feb type of bet.

After 21 games my pre-season forecast was for 35 points, so 33 is thereabouts, despite the early season over-achievement (see above).

In the next 10 games I forecast (pre season again) 14 points being 8 draws and two wins (Huddersfield & Wigan). So I''ll give £5 for every point above 14.

Let''s hope it proves to be an expensive bet.[/quote]

Nutty,

We got 17 points over the 10 games against my forecast of 14, so I''ve sent you £15.

In passing, only 4 points in the first five games and 13 points in the last five - the latter sounds like promising form for the run-in.

I''ll do a similar bet for the last 10 games, where my pre-season prediction was 16 points.

Nutty,

My abacus tells me we got 17 points so I owe you a fiver.  I predicted a 4-1 win for the QPR game and have added a bit to the fiver as a penalty for ever doubting our defence.  It''s in the ether on its way to you as I type.
