First Wazzock 863 Posted October 1, 2009 [quote user="The Butler"][quote user="nutty nigel"] Now I nipped in to see Billy this afternoon and he is as cheerful as ever despite our three wins in September. I backed my regular loser while I was there so while the Free Bet may well be in profit nutty nigel certainly isn''t! The nag in question had just come in to 20/1 but Billy gave me 25''s such was his confidence in my tips! Billy thought a Christmas get together would be a good idea too so we have set the date to the evening of Tuesday 29th December. Thankyou Angel for your wonderful suggestion of bringing some nibbles. I will provide some too. I''m sure we could all find a spare sausage roll or mince pie to bring.And now on to my tip. It is a very difficult week this week with many top teams playing eachother in leagues all over Europe. My personal rule of not napping teams who play in European competitions midweek has made it even more difficult for me. However, leaving no stone unturned finally took me to the Swiss Super League where Young Boys of Berne are at home to Aarau. Young Boys are top W9 D1 L1 F26 A13. Aarau are bottom W1 D2 L8 F7 A26.Young Boys V Aarau Home WinSimples[:S](As I''ve seen said) [;)]Oh... and Mandie... Monday games are OK. I remember Ray doing one last year and I gave him stick all weekend while we waited for his result. It was good banter! Happy days..................................... [/quote]Now there''s a headline I thought I would never see on this or any other thread.Nutty fancies Young Boys this weekend!!I promise not to tell Lapp or Wazzy Nutty it''s our secret[:D][/quote]I''m gonna have nightmares over this.My Mum said going along to meet strange PUP''s might not be such a good idea.

The Butler 0 Posted October 2, 2009 Ok I have looked long and hard into the Butlers pantry that has been well stocked from all the PUPS this week.I can only say that we have a very European flavour this week probably because of the difficult fixtures closer to home.Nutty please check the spelling of the clubs for me as I am not sure if we have the English or European equivalents!Billy is going to have a great task with odds on some of these but no doubt he will do us all proud as usual.So with thanks to all PUPS here goes:-Barcelona v Almeria Home win (The banker)Red Bull Saltzberg v Austria Karten Home winDinamo Zagreb v Vorteks Home winPartick Thistle v Airdrie Home winQueen of the South v Morton Home winMansfield v Forrest Green Home winResisted the temptation to select Young Boys and Nancy! (sorry Nutty)Arsenal and Blackburn but I dont trust Big Sam!That''s it will now shut myself in the pantry until it''s all over GOOD LUCK TO ALL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 2, 2009 Well done The Butler, what a great set of picks these are. They must surely have all come from the top shelf in your pantry. We must have an outstanding chance of another winning week and it can only be bad luck that could stop us now. I will get these to Billy and post the odds on here in the morning.Gazza - He can''t take away the music because I play the songs that make the whole world sing[8][8][B][B][;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 2, 2009 We''re going to have to hope that the might of Almeria mightn''t happen this week GP[;)]In days gone by I have had to hope for an ipswich win for the good of the free bet.

I am a Banana 0 Posted October 2, 2009 nutty, just wondering, when we win the bet, do we get the £10 included or does billy keep the £10 stake?im guessing as it is a free bet we would let billy keep the £10 as he gives it free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,352 Posted October 2, 2009 We get the winnings Nana. The £10 is a figure that''s used to calculate those winnings. It never really exists because the bet is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
