[quote user="billy bunter"]i dont get this though where does the money come from? and the winnings?[/quote]

Well Billy If I could just give you a potted version of how the Free Bet evolved , It was an idea that I had at the back of my mind for sometime , something I could do to help our wonderful club but not only that , something to entertain the lovely old City fans like yourself Billy . I went to a local Norwich bookmaker , Dixmar Racing on Reepham rd , I will never forget that day as long as I live , I remember standing in the shop for quite some time trying to pluck up courage to go up to the counter and ask for a Free Bet ,when I did ask I think every customer''s head turned to look at me as if I was crazy , my face I am sure was as red as a beetroot as I tried to explain what I wanted to do , the person I was talking to was in fact Billy Dixon who owns the shop he listened to my plans and said "sure why not ? it sounds like fun" . So Dixmar Racing gives us a Free £10 Bet every week with all winnings going to the Norwich City Academy.

I was joined in this venture by Nutty Nigel or the talented one as I call him because I think he could see I was struggling with my limited computer skills although he will never admit this but I ain''t daft , we have become a team and good friends ever since , I hope this helps Billy ...arrdee.

Also it should be noted that billy the bookie always sorts us out with the best odds. However I havent won yet since using his services so I guess it doesnt matter what the odds are [:(]

Well Jim I am taking Chelsea as Mr Chops "nap"  as he had selected this without knowing Shaun''s final pick from his many , that is until we hear different from the man himself , if at all ....arrdee.

Your own selection Mr Chops. Just a bit of fun to see who is the most successful picker at the end of the season. Just because you are doing the selections this week doesn''t mean to say you can''t pick your own team as well.

Best of luck this week.[Y]

[/quote]Oh, right - thanks, I understand now.Mine was Chelsea to beat Wigan, so I''ll stick with that one.I''m a bit concerned about Leicester given Billy Bunter''s comments, but if I changed my bets now and the original picks all came in, I''d be gutted.  So I''ll stick with what I have, and fingers crossed.

Billy has apologised for his comments. The original picker was happy with his selection and you were happy with it and that''s good enough. OTBC.

If Leicester don''t win now I''m heading for the nunnery!

Mind you it may have some compensations to match my habits[6]

Now you lovely old Pickers the bet is on with Dixmar Racing , thanks to the wonderful Mr Chops and his selections look good indeed , Nutty agrees with me , he has said "we have an outstanding chance", the bet is..........

2-5     Liverpool--------Beaker

4-9     Chelsea----------Mr Chops. Shaun

1-2      Birmingham----- Graham H, City Angel , 1st Wazz

3-4      Leicester --------The Butler

8-13    Rotherham-------G Jim,Cosmic,arrdee

8-11    Hearts------------7rew

Which will win for the Academy £138-11p which is wonderful I ran this bet through a big Bookmakers and guess what they came up with ? £91-77p I know its easier to bet on line rather than lifting a phone up but I don''t know about you it seems a high price to pay to me . Anyhow I will be back later with some exciting news that Billy Dixon has told me this morning . So thanks once again Mr Chops a very good job indeed you lovely old boy . Good Luck all . Talk to you later ....arrdee.
