nutty nigel 7,528 Posted September 15, 2010 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week seven of the free bet season. In charge this week, and making the final selections for the first time, is our good friend 1Dartmoore. This is now the fourth season 1Dart has been quietly selecting on these threads. Last season was his best yet with over 80% correct selections. So I’m really pleased that 1Dart has agreed to step up to the oche and make the final selections for us this week.Of course the name 1Dartmoore reminds me of the many times Billy has seen me off on the dartboard. So many times I have missed the double and wished for one dart more as Billy shot out to win yet another game. So I’m hoping 1dart can make our next PUPs meet and shoot Billy down. So come on you PUPs, we need your very best selections on the board for 1Dart’s consideration. Don’t worry if you double up on each others picks just give it your best shot. But be brave because in the words of the great Sid Waddell “Well as giraffes say, you don''t get no leaves unless you stick your neck out”I’d just like to repeat how chuffed I was that 69 PUPs selected last week. Because our chances of winning increase every time a new PUP joins our team. It’s all those selections every week that keep the free bet together. Ray’s daughter Marie came onto our facebook group this week and left a message that I will copy here for those of you who aren’t on FB. “Nice to see this here on FB Eddie! Dad (Arrdee) would have been so proud that the free bet is still going strong, keep up the good work to all u PUPs.” I’m sure Ray would be so proud that there are so many of us now and I hope we soon pass 70 in number.Thanks for all those reference pages you posted last week. Keep them coming and as soon as I have time I will put them together.I have been putting together the rota for October. Provisionally I have the following :-October 2nd Canary CherubOctober 9th SparkosOctober 16th MethcanaryOctober 23rd Trent CanaryOctober 30th StattoPlease confirm if those dates are OK for you all. I can always facilitate a change if it''s not convenient.I’ll hand the free bet over 1Dartmoore now. Enjoy your week in charge, 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.Good luck all you PUPs... take it away 1Dart... the free bet is yours.......[:)]......As always I leave you with Rays signature which now reads :-Carve their names with pride.Yankee,3,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,2, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock, Fonejacker,2, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,2, yes Norfolkchance1 £1032 for the Academy,so far.

Mandie Moo 93 Posted September 15, 2010 Loving the dart references Nutty!! Can you confirm that you''ve got Mum''s pick - she did tell me what it was, however, she''d rather I didn''t actually type it onto the PUPs page, as even me saying it out aloud will probably jinx it!!I''ll be back with my pick once I''ve sharpened my pin!!Good Luck 1Dart - I''m sure "The Power" of the PUPs will be behind you!!!

Shyster 0 Posted September 15, 2010 Inevitably, people are going to opt for Chelsea this week, so it''s up to Shyster to buck the trend by widening the choice and offering 1dartmoor an extremely good forecast from the Zamaretto Premier - it''s an away win prediction to boot!

Gingerpele 0 Posted September 16, 2010 Going to Belgium for the second time this year, and going for GENK vs Lokeren (Home win...)Top of the table Genk are unbeaten in 6, with 3 home wins, while 10th place have not won away from home in 3 games, and have only managed 1 home win as well, so should be fairly routine for Genk.....Good luck :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
