nutty nigel 7,902 Posted February 10, 2010 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week twenty eight of the free bet season. This week it’s our good friend Pboro_Canary in charge and making the final selections. Pboro is already a free bet legend having got his name on Ray’s line of fame in our first season. He has also been one of our top pickers ever since we started and has had a strike rate of over 75% over the three seasons. This season Pboro has been in even better form with an 85% success rate and current form of 9 winning naps in the last 10 weeks. But good as he undoubtedly is we all need to make every effort in giving him the very best naps to help him select a winning six.Now you PUPs have been in tremendous form all season and I think it’s incredible not only that Mr Bump[*] is still undefeated after 27 weeks but also that Devon[*] Beaus[*] Fonejack[*] Tilly[*] and Shaun[*] are all on 90% or above. To put this into context last season at this stage there were no PUPs above 90%. Also we have 58 PUPs on our table every week now with a strike rate of over 50% where as last year at this time there were only 29. Ray would have loved it[Y]So I’ll hand the free bet over to Pboro Canary now. As always there’s no pressure, because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get your name in the Free Bet Hall of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for our great clubs academy. No blame and no shame on the free bet pages. So take it away Pboro... the free bet is yours...........[:)]............As always I leave you with Ray''s signature which now reads: -Carve their names with pride.Yankee,3,Fellas,3,P''boro,Mr Chops,NewYork, Inch High, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker, Norfolkbroadslim, yes Norfolkchance1 £755 for the Academy,so far.

Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted February 10, 2010 Been looking forward to this week for some time so please folks give me as many options as you can (and also any evidence to support your pick would be helpful).My intention is to make my selections by 9pm on Friday night so make sure you have your naps in before then if you want them taken into account.I have been looking across the fixtures from the Highland League all the way to the Med and about half a dozen stick out to me as possible picks but I will keep my cards close to my chest for now and see how many others see things the same way.Good luck to everyone!

scrimmage 0 Posted February 10, 2010 I''m early this week so I''ve got a bit of time to think about it. Usually I pick out of the Blue Square Prem simply because that''s where I watch most of my football, so this week will be no different even though Histon let me down last week. This week I''m going for AFC Wimbledon to beat Cambridge United. Cambridge have lost their last 6 league games and haven''t even picked up a point since the 5th of December. AFC are teetering around the playoffs and I fancy them to make a push for them in the final weeks of the season.Good luck Pboro [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
