nutty nigel 7,528 Posted May 3, 2017 Welcome PUPs to week 40 the penultimate week of our tenth Rays Funds season. This week we have Snake-Eyes selecting the final six results. Because of being a winner in the guess the gate competition Snake had two turns at the Norwich picks this season and he only went and won both times! So he’s now in the unusual position of going for a hat-trick of wins in the same season as he takes his turn at selecting the main bet. Snake’s already been successful with these picks in a previous season so he definitely seems to be the man for the hot seat. We can all help him to success by offering our best selection from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend that our featured on Bill Hill or Bet 365. This week’s Norwich selections will be made by TeamPUPs. On top of our tenner from PUPanon we have a further £20 from “And Smith must score….” Who kindly donated the £20 I owed him to be used on Rays Funds. So for this last week it will be a team effort and I will place £1 on each of the first 30 suggestions to be made. It was Hoola Han Solo who guided me to this solution so thanks buddy. Here’s hoping it works out well. As a thank you to us PUPs CSF Emma has invited up to ten of us to attend Jamie’s Game as guests of the CSF. If any of you would like to represent us PUPs at Jamie’s Game on Sunday 21st May, kick off 3pm please let me know with your picks this week. With two weeks to go it’s all to play for in our PUPs leagues. Here’s the top places in both leagues : - PUP Wins Picks Win% Profitability Cosmic Twin 35 39 90% 2.62 Diesel Doris 34 39 87% 8.23 Parma ham''s gone mouldy 34 39 87% -0.31 PUP Wins Picks Win% Profitability The Great Drinkell 22 39 56% 9.65 Diesel Doris 34 39 87% 8.23 Nutty Nigel 33 39 85% 6.76 JB 33 39 85% 6.52 Platonic 20 34 59% 6.34 Woostercanary 10 30 33% 6.3 Good luck to all in contention over the next two weeks. Also here is the penultimate table in the PUPs league of the Canary Challenge : - PUP CHELLE CITY 313 PUP LESSINGHAM 270 PUP DIANE 267 PUP HISSING SID 254 PUP ZLF 254 PUP MANDIE MOO 235 PUP GAZZA 233 PUP GREGT 216 PUP ANGRY 206 PUP WOOSTER 196 PUP GRAHAM 194 PUP BEAUSEANT 183 PUP MORTY 183 PUP MMMK 177 PUP KATHY 176 PUP LEEDS 166 PUP NUTTY 161 PUP SWINDON 157 PUP DUNCAN 152 PUP APPLES 134 PUP DDD 96 PUP DIESEL 88 PUP TWIDIO 56 Unfortunately I think PUP CHELLE is just outside the prize winning places. So now I’ll hand the thread over to Snake-Eyes and TeamPUPs. 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 and our fabulous Downes Syndrome boys and girls.. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Snake and TeamPUPs... the thread is yours.......[:)].... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As always I leave you with Ray’s signature which now reads :- Carve their names with pride.Yankee,5,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork,2, Inch High,5, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim,3, Norfolkchance1,2, Scooby,3, Trent Canary,3, Cosmic Twin,5, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary,3, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox,2, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo,2, Mr Bump, Kathy,2, Til1010, Snake-eyes, Vindo,2, NWC, Hughesy, Gregt, GMF,3, SwindonCanary, Twidio, Hector Brockelbank, Lake District Canary,2, Bor Bor Bor, Yellowfuture, Chellecity, Diesel Doris, Lessingham Canary, Molly Windley, Parma Ham’s gone mouldy, Feedthewolf, AJ, JB, PurpleCanary, Hoola Han Solo, yes Norfolkchance1 £2038 for the Academy, and £2019 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Van wink 2,994 Posted May 3, 2017 Excellent idea, so let''s get in that first 30😀My selection is Celtic home win, Celtic have let me down many times before so hoping, law of averages, this time, they will actually win.For City I predict a 3-1 victory.Good luck to everyone 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,412 Posted May 3, 2017 What an excellent idea.Having done the City pick a couple of weeks ago I wont pick myself this week to let the longer established pups have an opportunity to swell the pot, and hopefully do better than I did. However wanted to wish good luck to Snake-Eyes and the lucky 30 in their choices. Greavsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted May 4, 2017 There are some cracking games in League 2 this weekend with no less than the top 12 still able to gain a play off place. with numerous sides going head to head.I''m going to take Exeter who really only need a point to beat Carlisle who have probably the longest journey of the season and must win to have a chance so must push forward. Exeter v Carlisle Home winFor the match bet Oliveria looks sharp again so I''ll take him to score the first goal in a 3-0 win (with Ruddy & Bennett to be subbed in the 2nd half )Good luck snake eye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Platonic 1 Posted May 4, 2017 Tricky to see value in the prem this week, which is where I''ve mainly made my profitable picks thus far. Might as well go for broke on some longer odds in an effort to storm the profitability table however.With that in mind, I''m sticking a pin somewhat in Wigan at home to Leeds. A dead rubber to both teams, but I figure Wigan will be more up for this home fixture given it''s their last in the Championship for a while. They''re currently around 2/1, which I think is ever so slightly on the long side.As for us, if it ain''t broke.. over 2.5 goals.Good luck all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 189 Posted May 4, 2017 I''m going for a home win for Napoli v. Cagliari. Napoli are W11 D4 L2 F37 A17 at home and Cagliari are W3 D2 L12 F14 A33 away. Good Luck, snake-eyes!Fantastic idea for the Norwich bet Nutty ~ So it''s Norwich to win 3-1 with Howson to score any time!Good Luck, team PUPs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
