nutty nigel 7,536 Posted August 17, 2016 Welcome to week three of ourtenth Rays Funds season. This weekend Hammond1612 is picking the final sixgames for the very first time. Daniel, one of our younger pickers, has been agreat asset to our wonderful team of PUPs since he joined us last season. Hewas in with a chance of winning the profitability week right up until the lastweekend and finished on +5.53. Daniel is also one of our PUPs who meet up inthe Nelson after matches and last night he gave me an extra tenner explainingthat he wants to mark his weekend by selecting six for Saturday and six forSunday. Thanks Daniel, that’s an awesome gesture and I hope it pays off for you.We can all help Daniel to get our first final six win of the season by giving ourvery best selections from the games played on Sat/Sun of this weekend thatare listed on the William Hill or Bet365web site. Now for the sake of balance wehave an old stager in Lappinitup selecting from your Norwich picks. This guyhas been with us from the start of these threads and always gave great supportto Ray and now me. Mick’s also a founder member of the Inner Circle andthe Nelson Numpties and also someone I’m proud to call a friend. So for hisbirthday weekend he has the honour of selecting the final picks for our hugegame away to Ipswich. Lapps has twice won with the Norwich picks and this wouldbe a great weekend to complete the hat-trick.You have a tenner to spend Mick,choosing from the PUPs selections and your own. Good luck and Happy Birthdaybuddy![^] Therota is nearly confirmed for September.

93vintage 16 Posted August 17, 2016 Pure chance suggests that Ipswich are bound to get lucky sooner or later, so I''d look at something involving a draw or them winning.Maybe a double chance Ipswich/draw @ 1.65-1.75, or if you can calculate the stakes a draw-Ipswich-win-no-bet @ ~2.25.Good luck Lappin.

Molly Windley 76 Posted August 19, 2016 Thanks for the info 93 VintageScrub Olympiakos and we will go for Athletico Madrid vs Alaves - home win at 1/5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,561 Posted August 19, 2016 I''m sticking with Portugal this week, and a home win for Porto against Estoril, odds are 1/4.For the Norwich bet, I think it''ll be a draw, 1-1. I also think it will get a bit tasty with sendings off on both sides, possibly Naismith and one of the Ipshite cloggers.Good luck to all PUPs, especially Hammond and Lapps.

nutty nigel 7,536 Posted August 19, 2016 Now mine....I''m going to Finland on Sunday :- FC Kuopio v PK-35 Home WinAt the forum on Wednesday Ivo Pinto said he''s never scored a goal because he doesn''t shoot and prefers to pass to others so I''m tempted to pick him to score a goal! But more realistically I''d pick Jacob Murphy to score anytime if fit to play. Jacob is obviously proud to be "one of our own" and will be well up for it if fit and selected.
