nutty nigel 7,533 Posted August 30, 2017 Welcome to the fifth week of this Rays Funds season. This is the first of the international break weekends. These can be difficult weeks for us because many of our usual hunting grounds are not available. But have no fear PUPs because gregt has agreed to take this on and I believe he has all the qualities needed to make this a winning week. Greg’s having another good season this time with 3 from 4 winning picks at a profitability of 1.68. This follows last season’s excellent 31/41 75% at profitability of 5.68. After such a smooth start to the season last weekend’s results were really unkind. Don’t be disheartened by that PUPs. The same thing happened more often in the early weeks of last season but we still ended up breaking records. Although this is international weekend there is no requirement to pick international games. There are plenty of lower league games both here and abroad. Greg just needs your very best selections from the games played on Saturday, Sunday and Monday of this weekend that are listed on the Bill Hill or Bet 365 web site. Please be careful not to pick Friday games. No Norwich game this weekend so we can concentrate all our efforts into helping Greg. I shall be fillin’ my cake ‘ole in the Bishop’s Garden on Sunday. Would love to see some of you there : - https://www.communitysportsfoundation.org.uk/fundraising-events/bishopsgardens/ So now I’ll hand the thread over to Gregt. 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 Greg... 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,6, 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 £2052 for the Community Sports Foundation.

Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted August 30, 2017 Off to the Land of Ice for me, where Saturday sees a mismatch in the 1. Deild (second division). Thróttur Reykjavík (3rd, 7-1-1 F17 A9 at home) entertain rock-bottom Leiknir Fáskrúðsfjörður (0-0-9 F4 A25 away), and odds of 1/5 reflect the huge gulf between the two teams. Short odds, but not ludicrously so.Very best of luck Greg, on what is always a minefield of a weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Platonic 1 Posted September 1, 2017 I''m going to go for a bit of value this week. The Netherlands face the real prospect of not qualifying following their pasting by France. Bulgaria on the other hand beat Sweden 3-2 and in the reverse fixture beat the dutch 2-0. I cannot for the life of me understand why bulgaria are available for as much as 11-1 to win, and I think there''s a real chance this will end with bulgaria getting something, so my pick is Netherlands Bulgaria DRAW - I''m tempted to chuck some money on Bulgaria outright winning so will certainly donate to the PUPs if this bet comes good.Good luck all.
