Rays Funds for the CSF with the PUPs Season 17 Week 40

[gregt 67]

Hello pups

my final pick is CELTIC v hearts HOME WIN

City bet Sainz to score first

Well done to all the pups this season and seasons gone

And well done @nutty nigelfor your huge efforts over the years

Good luck to all pups

 

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,476]

I have sent my chance-to-change 🦮💫🙏🏼 payment to @nutty nigel and nominate my winer-takes-all bet as:

Chelsea W vs Bristol City W - Home win 🏡 🏆 

Despite the semi-final defeat to Barca I am sure that the Chelsea players, the excellent Emma Hayes and footballing pride will see them want to win well and show real character. 

Lauren James might even be my favourite footballer in the world right now 💪🏼🌎…

…come on then @TIL 1010… let’s be ‘avin you!

Parma

Afternoon all, I need to finish on a win so I'll have....

Arsenal v Bournemouth...Home win.

For the Norwich bet I'll have....

Score draw.

Best of luck to both @PurpleCanary and @Pockthorpe and all our fellow pups.

Finally to the man who has put his heart and soul into this @nutty nigel you sir are a true hero and an example of the kind of person we all hope to be.

I thank you for your years of hard work and dedication to this thread and the charities involved. Many thanks Eddie.

[Hammond1612 95]

This week I’ll go for arsenal to beat Bournemouth. For our match I’ll go for over 2.5 goals. 
 

As many have said before me @nutty nigel congratulations on all the money raised for such a good cause over the years. I haven’t been doing this from the start so thank you for being so welcoming when I did join the pups. If this is the last one let’s go out with a bang!

[Diane 500]

Man City at home looks like a good choice to me 

For Norwich Rowe to score anytime

Good Luck pups and well done Nutty for all the cash raised for our CSF charity

Arsenal to beat Bournemouth in the prem, and for our game BTTS with Sainz to score.

[PurpleCanary 6,451]

To explain, it wasn’t planned that I should have this honour. I was due to do the March international weekend, but I was in the throes of a house move, with little internet access, and then thereafter a few things got in the way.

I felt that this weekend should very much not be about one person but should emphasise how the PUPs has been a success because it is a collective effort. To that end I came up with a plan which nutty was kind enough to say he liked.

So instead of making a selection, I have numbered the suggestions as they have come in, and added one of my own, to make 18. Numbered some marbles 1-18, put them in a fashionable tote bag provided by one of my glamorous PAs, twizzled them around (none of this modern computerised nonsense), and drawn out three sets of six at random.

If one or more sets comes up trumps then the credit on the honours’ board will go to the PUPs family. A collective reward for a collective effort.

 

Set One:

Sturm Graz

Dortmund

Brest

Arlanda

Sporting

Hibs

-

Set Two:

Celtic

Monaco

Chelsea W

Man City

Real Madrid

Heracles

-

Set Three

Huddersfield

Arsenal

Basakhir

Barsa W

Ipswich

HJK

-

[PurpleCanary 6,451]

Just to add, there is an obvious problem with Set Three, but I don't feel it is my place to suggest a solution, although one might occur...

beat me to it. You could pick another team?

[PurpleCanary 6,451]

Well yes of course I could scrap Ipswich to win and substitute someone's second choice that I have in reserve but again not really my decision to make...

[First Wazzock 1,014]

I'm in Tenerife and have had terrible problems trying to get on here!

Celtic - home win

City bet over 3.5 goal

Good luckalll, and thank you so much Eddie!

My suggestion would be to split the stake and have two five-folds. 
Or, there is the potential to bet on “no draw” for the Scum/Huddersfield game. The other five to win and then select the “home/away” dual outcome bet for the 6th game. 

[KiwiScot 1,684]

You could also borrow Kathys Trusty pin.

[nutty nigel 7,958]

£5 with Huddersfield = £168

£5 with Ipswich = £17.50

£10 with Ips/Hudds = £31.50

Thanks Duncan, if no draw works then fine, but there would have to be an extra game added, since it would I think create a gap. Which is feasible.

[nutty nigel 7,958]

Thanks Purple and Duncan. We'll do the Home/Away option and add Zrinsky which is Purple's second choice. That way everyone's pick is covered.

Thanks Purple, what a brilliant idea. A proper team effort to go out on. We just need that bit of luck we always need to get a win and with the collective PUPpower of the whole team I think we can get all three sets in. I've placed them all with Bet 365 and here are the details...

Sporting **EP**	1/11	18:00 Sat
Brest  **EP**	4/6	20:00 Sat
Sturm Graz **EP**	2/5	13:30 Sun

Set two has a potential return of £62.67 (Including £6.87 boost)...

Celtic **EP**	2/9	15:00 Sat
Real Madrid **EP**	4/11	15:15 Sat
Monaco **EP**	1/3	16:00 Sat
Man City **EP**	1/12	17:30 Sat
Heracles **EP**	5/4	11:15 Sun
Chelsea W **EP**	1/33	18:45 Sun

Set three has a potential return of £36.75...

Ipswich or Huddersfield	1/8	12:30 Sat
Arsenal **EP**	1/5	12:30 Sat
HJK Helsinki	2/11	15:00 Sat
Barcelona W	1/80	19:30 Sat

It has been retired and will become Kathy’s rusty pin. It will be discovered by archaeologists in 50,000 years time who will deliberate long into the night about what the 21st century people used it for. And almost certainly get it wrong.

I like your style !

[PurpleCanary 6,451]

In Set 3 Arsenal and Ipswich won, which is good!

[nutty nigel 7,958]

Unlucky @Pockthorpe that wasn’t the result for us. 
 

[nutty nigel 7,958]

Dortmund won Hibs 1-1 86 mins sending PUPpower.💪💪💪

Celtic 2-0✅ Real 1-0 65 mins, Monaco 2-1 40mins

HJK 0-0 84 mins sending PUPpower 💪💪💪

 

[PurpleCanary 6,451]

Hibs lost and HJK drew, so only Set Two left. But there Celtic and Real Madrid in the bag.
