Where can one find which games are bettable and what the odds are? [/quote]As Herman mentioned, the PUPs resource library on the NCISA website is great source for these things. www.oddschecker.com is the one I use, as it covers every big bookie. However if you go onto the website of any of the big bookmakers (Ladbrokes, coral etc) they will have a list of that weeks games. I usually have a quick scan on Ladbrokes to see if any games stand out, then use Oddschecker for the more obscure leagues if im struggling for something different!

Herman 9,764 Posted October 29, 2010 No worries and welcome aboard.This is my first season as a PUP and it''s good fun.The only bad part is that you will find yourself cheering on teams like Chelsea or Arsenal,which was a first for me[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Statto28 0 Posted October 29, 2010 Ok, good evening one all . After much calculating, ruminating, cogitating and other weird and wonderous activities ending with ''ing'', I think I''m finally there with my 6 naps. Before I unveil them, allowing you all to either shower me praise/shower me with scorn (delete as applicable), there''s just a couple of things I''d like to say. Firstly, thanks to Nutty for the top draw organisation that keeps this running so smoothly and of course to Arrdee, who Im sure would be only too proud to see how this thread and the cameraderie/banter/fun/Shysters in house league has developed. Secondly, an apology. Having looked from afar at all the pickers so far and often pondered quite vociferously why so and so have been selected, I can now fully understand the variety of issues that arises. Do you go for 6 longish odds and hope to rake in a whopping amount, go for 6 supposed ''bankers'' and work on the ''little and more often'' approach or a mix of the two. I''ve duly considered all of these and in the end, to my own disappointment, have taken the seemingly more conservative, dull and some would argue boring route. Whatever the opinion, I''ve had a great deal of fun and I hope this thread continues to provide the same amount of enjoyment for as wide a range of people for a long time to come. Lastly, to all you Pickers, I can honestly say that each and every one of your naps has been duly considered and know that much of my half term off work has been spent looking at the various form of teams from a host of European Leagues from the major to downright obscure. Thanks for all your selections - I hope I don''t let all you down :) So, without further wafflage, here are my 6 naps Arsenal to beat West Ham (Delia/Shack/GMF/Sports Desk Pete et al) Hadjuk Split to beat Hrvatski Dragovoljac (Scooby/Trent/Canary Cherub et al) This will also be my choice please Hertha Berlin to beat Ingolstad (Hissing Sid) Luton to beat Bath ( Muddy/GingerPele et al ) Roda to beat Willem ll Tilburg (Yankee/Nutty et al) Annan to beat Preston Athletic (Graham H et al) So that''s the 6. Notable mentions to Shrewsbury, Turiff United, Cliftonville, Basel, Albion and Rangers but alas, it can only be 6 Here''s as always looking forward to both a City win and of course, even more than usual, a PUPs win Cheers one and all, I''ve had a blast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted October 30, 2010 Great stuff Statto. Thank you for this brilliant and well thought out final six. I echo your sentiments about the fun and cameraderie that goes with this thread every week. And the fact that as well as the enjoyment this pack of united PUPs has helped raise over £1000 for our beloved clubs academy. I honestly believe only the cruelest misfortune can prevent us adding to that total with your excellent final selections.As always I shall get these to Billy in the morning and post the odds on here.

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted October 30, 2010 Good morning Pups… The bet is on with Dixmar Racing, so thanks to our good friends Statto and Billy Dixon we have... 1/5Arsenal1/5Hadjuk Split2/5Hertha Berlin1/3Luton1/3Roda1/4Annan Which will win for the Academy £34.80p. As always I ran the same bet through one of the big bookies and the return would only be £22.92. So that’s a huge difference this week, nearly half as much again in fact, and just goes to show why we should bet with Billy. So don’t forget that the best odds on all the weekend football are available to each and every one of us so if you are doing a line today or even fancy these give Billy a ring and get yourselves sorted. So now it’s "game on". Hertha Berlin get us underway at lunchtime today then Arsenal, Luton and Annan kick off at 3pm. Hadjuk Split play at 4pm and all being well we will be undefeated overnight waiting for Roda to seal our win on Sunday at 2:30pm. Good luck everyone...........[:)]..............
