Cosmic Twin 185 Posted August 4, 2018 So much for having some form to go on! Sortland had conceded 38 goals in their 6 league away games prior today! It''s a marathon not a sprint! 😉 Bouncebackability is key!Thanks PUPs for all your help - it doesn''t help when the picker can''t find a winning pick! ☹️ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,436 Posted August 4, 2018 I''m curious on the Norwich bet. Has anyone ever picked Norwich to lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
93vintage 16 Posted August 4, 2018 Unlucky Cosmic Twin. I know from experience how frustrating it can be when it''s your own pick that mucks up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 4, 2018 Yes they have Kiwi. A lot of PUPs cover the result. But Molly asked us not to do that saying he would cover it.Thing to remember is that the stakes on both bets are freely given for that use. So we never lose and anything back is a win. So with the Norwich picks PUPs often cover the three results with part of the stake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your pick was a crazy result so we just take it on the chin and move on. We''ll be winning soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmic Twin 185 Posted August 5, 2018 5/6 - so close! I''m really disappointed that we didn''t win any money. But there were some really excellent picks this week from you PUPs so I know we always have a great chance each week of raising money over the season. Really unlucky, Molly. But you made sure the Norwich Bet is up and running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted August 6, 2018 It''s great to be back doing this again. The stats are well good for an opening weekend. A fantastic 38 PUPs made selections with 29 predicting correctly (76%). Between us we offered Cosmic 25 different options from which 18 were successful (72%). Cosmic got so close to yet another win but it was not meant to be this time.Most profitable pick was Swindon''s Exeter at 1.26 which sees him top of the fledgling PUPs league : - PUP Wins Picks Win% Profitability Swindoncanary 1 1 100% 2.26 Indy_Bones 1 1 100% 2.08 Leedscanary 1 1 100% 1.99 Gregt 1 1 100% 1.94 dj11 1 1 100% 1.82 Diane 1 1 100% 1.82 King Canary 1 1 100% 1.82 Lappinitup 1 1 100% 1.79 Kiwiscott 1 1 100% 1.79 Crabbycanary3 1 1 100% 1.76 Lessingham Canary 1 1 100% 1.76 Anthony 1 1 100% 1.54 First Wazzock 1 1 100% 1.54 Twidio 1 1 100% 1.54 ZLF 1 1 100% 1.54 Diesel Doris 1 1 100% 1.45 Mr Apples 1 1 100% 1.3 Nutty Nigel 1 1 100% 1.3 Hissing Sid 1 1 100% 1.25 Kathy 1 1 100% 1.25 Molly Windley 1 1 100% 1.25 93Vintage 1 1 100% 1.23 AJ 1 1 100% 1.14 Parma ham''s gone mouldy 1 1 100% 1.14 GMF 1 1 100% 1.14 Statto28 1 1 100% 1.14 Til1010 1 1 100% 1.14 Purple Canary 1 1 100% 1.13 Graham Humphrey 1 1 100% 1.05 Cosmic Twin 0 1 0% 0 Hammond1612 0 1 0% 0 Hansterbubble 0 1 0% 0 Inchy 0 1 0% 0 Jellytot 0 1 0% 0 Lake District Canary 0 1 0% 0 Lincsy 0 1 0% 0 The Great Drinkell 0 1 0% 0 Woostercanary 0 1 0% 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
