YankeeCanary 0 Posted August 4, 2016 Dunfermline to beat Dumbarton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,598 Posted August 4, 2016 Thanks everyone for your kind words. Mr Angry really made me smile! I love these threads :)Great to see 21 different selections already. It''s a tough week for sure. I still haven''t heard from NBS so I hope he''s ok to do the picks.Another worry for me is there''s no sign of Yankee. I''ve emailed him but had no reply. Hope you''re ok Clyde.On to my pick and it''s in Estonia where there''s some form to go on. I''m going for Flora of Tallin but I hope she''s not some ''old sort'' from when Tilly was there for a stag do.....Flora Tallin v JK Narva Trans Home WinI''m going for a correct score of Blackburn 1 - 3 Norwich for 93v.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted August 5, 2016 Again? Doesn''t seem like five minutes since last season finished...Opening weekends are always tough due to a total lack of form to go on but Eastleigh are among the National League favourites for a reason and I think they''ll beat a comparitively modest Guiseley side.As for Norwich, we never win our opening game and we''re hopeless away from home so a 1-1 draw wouldn''t surprise me.Best of luck everyone.

Molly Windley 76 Posted August 5, 2016 Firstly a big shout out and thank you to Eddie for all his time and effort in organising and running this and to PUP anon for their very generous sponsorship.The French Super Cup and a win for PSG vs Lyon at what look decent odds of 2/3Tough pickings for the City bet so will go with Klose to score last in a City Win at a 40/1 long odds puntGood luck to Norfolkbroadslim and 93Vintage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted August 5, 2016 Another one going for Nottingham Forest to beat Burton.Norwich bet --- A draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted August 5, 2016 I can only repeat the thanks already given to Nutty for keeping this thread going ( I''m sure it''s the only one that keeps us sane?)I feel a tide of optimism is flowing over the City of Bristol and although I won''t be there to see them visit Carrow Road I do think they might be the surprise team this season. So I''m going for Bristol City v Wigan Home win.For the Match bet I think a HT Home/FT Draw might be the outcome. ( always difficult to win away on the opening day - just ask Colchester!!)The very best of luck to both pickers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lappinitup 629 Posted August 5, 2016 First of all, thanks to Eddie and PUPanon for all your hard work and generosity on this thread.

93vintage 16 Posted August 5, 2016 My picks are in a pdf here - [url=https://1fichier.com/?xq5ryeozn4]https://1fichier.com/?xq5ryeozn4[/url].We have 16 bets on scores and ht/ft combinations. £14.20 is the most we can win if we get a 1-0 victory after drawing 0-0 at half time. I''m expecting a score somewhere below 3-2, but there are plenty of chances to get a reasonable return somewhere around the £12-14 area.You can''t cover everything, but we''re partially insured against the most likely types of Blackburn win ie 1-0 and 2-1 with them winning at half time. Overall I think things compare quite well with a Norwich win or draw (double chance) bet which has come down to around 1.33 from about 1.40.There''s a little score-card included in the pdf showing the various ht/ft and score combinations, the win-win-win etc bit at the top is the full time result from a Norwich perspective. The lines at the bottom indicate the min and max returns for the various scores.Finally, thanks for everyone''s suggestions, note that I think there will be better (home) games this season where picking a scorer will be a better bet.

nutty nigel 7,598 Posted August 6, 2016 I haven''t heard from our buddy Norfolkbroadslim so hope you''re ok ''slim and I''ll try and fit you in later in the season.I''m afraid you''re stuck with me! I don''t think I''ve done this since way back when We8WBA popped up to tell me "you weren''t even close mate"! Ray and I had some laughs about that [:D] I''ve avoided the hot seat ever since until now......
