nutty nigel 7,870 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Welcome to Rays Funds, supported by Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare. This week’s picture is from last Saturday at The Nest where our wonderful DS team made the draw for the WC Sweepstake. This week we have @ZLF making the final six selections. Zip’s one of our intrepid value hunters who always picks a different option for the PUP in the hot seat. Already this season he’s had winning picks at 1.54, 1.25 and 1.21. We usually find him challenging at the top of the profitability league but he’s been unlucky in the last few weeks. However, although form is temporary class is permanent and I’ve no doubt ZLF will be up there by the end of the season. With the World Cup many of our usual hunting grounds are on a break but we still have League one downwards in England plus plenty of leagues across UK and Europe to pick from. So let’s all help ZLF set the WC break off with a win by finding our best selections from the games played on Sat, Sun or Mon of this weekend that are listed on Bet 365. No Norwich match this week but @Indy's kindly funded Both Teams To Score until City’s next game. We have @NFN FC making those selections this weekend. NFN is having a brilliant season leading our profitability league on +7.12. Let’s help him find some BTTS picks from those listed on Bet 365. NFN, you have a tenner to spend split however you like between the PUPs suggestions and your own. As always a massive thank-you to our benefactor PUPanon2 for making the Norwich match picks possible this season. Also to all the Pink Un posters who send me pledges and donations. And to our wonderful sponsors Turner European Consulting and Cavell Healthcare. The sponsorship, pledges and donations all go straight into the presentation pot. It makes a massive difference to the amount we raise and I know the CSF and our DS and Pan-disability boys and girls really appreciate this support. For more information on our sponsors take a look at their websites below :- http://www.turnereuropeanconsulting.com/ https://www.cavellhealthcare.co.uk/ Here’s the rota for December… Final Six Dec 3rd @Mr Apples Dec 10th@Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man Dec 17th@TIL 1010 Dec 24th @twidio Dec 31st @gregt Both Teams To Score Dec 3rd @astro Norwich Match Picks Dec 10th @Diesel Doris Dec 17th @Mr Angry Dec 24th @nutty nigel Dec 31st @KiwiScot Please let me know with your picks if the date’s ok.

We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for the Community Sports Foundation and our fabulous Downs Syndrome and pan-disability boys and girls. Good luck all you PUPs... take it away Stephen and James, the thread is yours.......🙃........ Edited December 22, 2022 by nutty nigel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 5,756 Posted November 16, 2022 A funny old week to pick from, this. I'm sure someone else will go for England to beat Iran, so I'll steer clear of that and go for Sheffield Wednesday to beat Shrewsbury in League One (odds are around 9/20). Best of luck, @ZLF... quite the challenge this week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,679 Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Aye a season of Pups includes many weekends without the low hanging or obvious fruit. Never obvious nor fruitful the lower Scottish Leagues continues and it's form team vs non-form team. Dundee v Hamilton - Home Win BTTS - Dorking v Bromley Nutty I'm good for that weekend of the 31st Dec. I notice we are playing Reading on Friday the 30th of December and also Watford on Monday the 2nd of January. Am I doing both? which is no problem btw or if you want to spread the love.

I'd forgotten to look for TV changes. Do them both for sure. Tenner on each. 👍 My main worry for Christmas and New Year was if the trusty old site fails us. I know I can always get in touch with you.🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
