nutty nigel 7,902 Posted January 7, 2011 The Pink Un Message Rays Funds For FONCY Free Bet Thread As with all messageboard communities new people join all the time. Many of you probably notice these threads and assume it''s not for you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Us PUPs are not an exclusive club. Anyone can take part, it''s free to join in and the only requirement is to post a selection on each weeks thread.So I’ll post this brief run through here for anyone who may be interested :-The free bet was set up by my good friend Ray Ducker (Arrdee) to raise money for the Academy. It''s a totally free bet because it''s sponsored by Dixmar Racing who give the best odds every week in an attempt to maximise any winnings for the academy. How It Works Every Wednesday during the season I start the new weeks thread. The ''Pink Un Pickers'' (PUPs) then select their ''best selection'' from the weekends football fixtures. On the Friday evening the nominated picker from our PUPs rota selects 6 results from the weeks picks. I then phone these through to Billy Dixon at Dixmar Racing and post the bet and the odds on here on the Saturday lunchtime. Have we won? So far there have been 23 winning weeks and the World Cup win in which we have won £1168 for the academy. There have been plenty of near misses too and the ''Pink Un Pickers'' have had a lot of fun trying. Of course we can''t lose thanks to the generosity of our good friend Billy Dixon and of course we have our own PUPs competition at the same time. So it''s a win win situation every week for the Pink Un Pickers! From time to time we all meet for a drink and a lot of friendships have been forged. Want To Take Part? Just register with the Pink Un Message Board and post your very best selection on the thread. It''s as simple as that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you''d enjoy being part of it. Raising money for the academy through a fans message board is a great way to feel closer to the club we love. Us PUPs get the bug and find ourselves looking for live scores from all over the world when another win is on the cards. The free bet is unique to our club and the envy of others[Y] There are lots of knowledgeable football fans on this site. The free bet can pool that knowledge in a way that benefits our great clubs academy. You''re all welcome and have nothing to lose but more than you think to gain[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
