nutty nigel 7,902 Posted March 13, 2019 Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Kare Plus This week we have DJ11 making the selections for the final six. DJ’s been fantastic in his first season with us 22/31 winning picks at a profitability of 2.1. DJ also helped swell our pot with a fantastic pledge last season. This season he’s done the same with a pledge that will boost our next presentation pot. DJ has become a very valuable asset to our great team of PUPs so let’s help him get a winning week with our very best selections from the games played on Sat/Sun/Mon of this weekend listed on the Bill Hill or Bet 365 sites. This week we have Kathy making the final selections for our game at Rotherham. Kathy is a great supporter of all our initiatives and adds a few of her own like yesterday’s insurance policy which added £32.43 to the pot. Kathy, who is our reigning profitability champion, has a previous win when making these picks as well as two wins picking the final six. Let’s help her to another win with some great suggestions for Saturday’s game. Good luck Kathy, you have a tenner to spend split however you choose between the PUPs suggestions and your own. I’ve provisionally set the rota for April. As always please let me know with your selections if the dates are ok Six Results 06/04/19 – Lappinitup 13/04/19 – GMF 20/04/19 – Hoola Han Solo 27/04/19 – Feedthewolf 05/05/19 – Norfolkbroadslim Norwich Selections 06/04/19 – Special Guest 13/04/19 – Daz Sparks 20/04/19 – Hammond1612 27/04/19 – ZLF Breaking News....Prior to the QPR fixture our wonderful DS guys and girls will be playing a showcase match at Carrow Park and we will have the opportunity to make our annual presentation. In addition to this up to six pups have also been invited to enjoy CSF and the DS team on the pitch at halftime. Can you please let me know if you can attend the presentation and/or would like to go on the pitch. I will need to know the area of the ground you are sitting in. Here are some pictures from our wonderful DS boys and girls fixture at Millwall : - We would like to say a massive thank you to these companies who support our work to raise funds for the CSF and our wonderful Downe's Syndrome Team of boys and girls : - http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.kareplus.co.uk/norwich/ If any other companies out there would also like to support our efforts, we'll be happy to add you to our list of links on this thread every week.

Hissing Sid 160 Posted March 13, 2019 Portugal for me this week FC Porto (10-0-2 29-8 at home) v Maritimo (4-1-8 7-14 away) - Home Win For the match bet, a simple(!) 2-0 win for City. Best of luck DJ11, Kathy and all you PUPs. PS, Nutty, I will be around for the presentation. Having done the pitch walk before, I'd let everyone else have a shout, but if you're short I'd love to be considered. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathy 823 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Glancing back at previous week it seems the way forward is to split the pot into several smaller bets so I'll do that too. I'm conscious of the fact that one of these days a real long shot is going to come in for the PUPs and I would love that to be me so I'm going to stick my neck out and have a go. I always think back to the 2016 Trump/Brexit/Leicester City treble that came in at one million to one! Kev's Buendia hattrick is tempting but one thing I've noticed this season is that when all the attention is on one player, someoneelse steps up to the plate. So with that in mind: £2 Both teams to score £2 3-1 Norwich £2 Pukki to score anytime £2 Rhodes last goal and 2 x long shots £1 Lewis to score any time £1 Rotherham 3 Norwich 4/Rhodes last goal. OTBC 🙂💚💛 Edited March 15, 2019 by Kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 6,381 Posted March 15, 2019 The Nordost-Nord section of the German Oberliga. Hansa Rostock II to win at home against Malchower SV. Fifth-placed Hansa Rostock II have an 8-1-0 and 25/6 home record, and have recently won at home against the teams in 1st and 4th places. Malchower SV, bottom, have a 1-0-9 and 9/29 away record. The odds, not surprisingly, are short, at 1/12. Good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cosmic Twin 192 Posted March 15, 2019 I'm going for a home win for Ludogorets v. Septemvri Sofia. Ludogorets are W10 D1 L1 F23 A6 at home and Septemvri Sofia are W2 D1 L9 F11 A24 away. Good Luck, dj11! Good Luck with the Norwich Bet, Kathy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Humphrey 13 Posted March 15, 2019 Missed the Norwich bet again - I should probably make sure I get in a bit earlier. Good luck Kathy. Would be a good payday if your two long shots came in... Away from that, I'm going for Leyton Orient to beat Telford in the semi-final, first leg of the FA Trophy tomorrow (cue another 0-0 draw as I am getting good at picking those). Eddie - I'll try and make the Carrow Park presentation. Having already had the honour of representing the PUPs on the hallowed turf, I'd very much like others to experience it for themselves this time. If anyone thinks they might fancy it - go for it, it's great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 5,885 Posted March 15, 2019 I'm so sorry for my absence on this thread. I was off the forum for a good while, then on my return I had a couple of goes and then forgot about it. I happened upon the thread tonight, and noticed my name on the list for the final six on April 27 - call it serendipity. I will endeavour to post every week forthwith, starting today with: Bundesliga: Eintracht Frankfurt v Nuremberg - HOME WIN. Frankfurt boast a decent 6-3-3-27-16 home record, and are unbeaten in all competitions since before Christmas. They've won their last three in the Bundesliga, and are fresh from a stunning win away to Inter in the Europa League last night. Despite their midweek diversions, they should still be too strong for rock-bottom Nuremburg, whose away record is a dismal 0-2-10-8-35. They've not won a game in any competition since September, and have lost eight straight on the road. Odds of 2/5 look rather generous to my eye. As for the City game, I read with interest that Rotherham's top scorer is Semi Ajayi, a centre half. Doesn't look like the bookies have cottoned on to this, as his odds look pretty standard for a defender. Therefore, if you're feeling speculative, how about Ajayi to score first and Norwich to win at 70/1? Or slightly less speculative, Norwich to win and Ajayi to score any time at 16/1? The very best of luck to all PUPs, and to our gallant Canaries. It feels good to be home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj11 404 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Nutty, my 6 picks are as follows:- Solihull v Braintree Ludogorets v Septemvri R.Madrid v Celta Vigo Hajduk Split v Rudes Bayern v Mainz Sarajavo v Krupa All home wins. Really appreciate all the help, and have been looking up teams I have never heard of, maybe I need to get out more. Edited March 15, 2019 by dj11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
