As I think there is a bit of money floating around in nutty''s PUPs'' piggy bank, I am venturing an extra £10 on the final score at Villa Park being Aston Villa 2 Norwich City 2, currently at odds of 12-1.

nutty nigel 7,585 Posted November 4, 2011 Thank you for these Purple. Another brilliant job . I wish Arrdee was here to see the quality of final selections we get every week. It can only be a matter of time before we record another win. I can see how much thought has gone into these. They look nailed on to me and unless we are hit with bad luck I''m sure we will be toasting your success. No champagne for me though. Just a half of mild or a coke[;)] I''ve placed the bet with Bet365. I looked on Stan James but 365 came out slightly better. If we are successful the return will be £48. Here are the details : - Slavia Sofia @ 1/5Borussia Dortmund @ 1/3Liverpool @ 2/7Huddersfield @ 2/5Hajduk Split @ 1/9Almeria @ 1/2Six-Folds, 1 bet * £10.00 04/11/2011 22:23:31 10.00 0.00 I have placed the extra bet also with Bet365 and many thanks for the donation [Y] : - Draw 2-2 @ 12/1£10.00 Single 04/11/2011 22:26:51 10.00 0.00 The action is all tomorrow so it will be an exciting day for us PUPs. Slavia Sofia get us underway at 12:30 followed by Dortmund at 2:30. Liverpool and Huddersfield start at 3pm then Hajduk Split kick off at 4pm. The final leg is in Spain with Almeria at 5pm. If I remember rightly the only ever time Almeria have been in the final selections they won and we won. They were the last result that time too! So I hope that''s a good omen. Thanks again Purple and good luck everyone [:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muddy funster 0 Posted November 5, 2011 My odds boost of 4/1 drew 1-1 in the end. Unlucky Hereford and bye bye 91 quid Muddy...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shyster 0 Posted November 5, 2011 [quote user="Muddy funster"]Now then, now then, now then (RIP Jimmy) - odds boosting Muddy is taking a good look at this week. I am REALLY tempted by Blackburn v Chelsea Home win. Blackburn seem to have turned a corner and Chelsea are....really bad to be honest. I have odds of 13-2 on a home win and Hoilett is 14-1 as first goalscorer! That seems nuts to me considering Chelsea''s defence at the moment. However Shyster has gone for a Chelsea win, so that''s obviously going to be the result!Newcastle are a hard-to-fathom 5-4 to win at home against Everton....but I have a slightly risky one with great odds for a boost.Hereford have lost once in their last 5 and are at home to the recently stuttering Crawley (lest we forget last week!). Hereford have had some positive results against the divisions form teams recently and I really think they have a good chance to spring a surprise at home. The good news for a risky nap....a very healthy 4-1 thats all.So my nap today is Hereford home win. Good luck all.[/quote]So out of three bashes you got one right [:P] Should''ve stuck with Newcastle [:)]Blackburn 0 Chelsea 1 [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muddy funster 0 Posted November 6, 2011 No no Shyster, I inly had one shot - I was pointing out the interesting decent odds that I''d found. But you were right you did scrape a 1-0 away victory so fair play to you. I wish I''d have bet Doncaster though. I momentarily fancied it, but thought that Ipswich would obviously ruin my bet. Not so though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,585 Posted November 7, 2011 Thanks again Purple. I’m glad you enjoyed your week in charge. It turned out to be a very difficult week as can be seen by the stats.  58 PUPs selected this week with 34 correct and 1 postponed game making a success rate of 59%. We gave Purple 28 different selections to consider of which 16 were correct and one postponed which was a strike rate of just 59%. These are the worst stats of the season and show what a difficult task Purple had. Amongst the shockers that contributed to these stats were home draws for Huddersfield and Liverpool which accounted for 12 losing PUPs.  Here’s our league table showing those PUPs with over 50% correct from at least 50% of the available weeks. We now have just 4 PUPs who have selected a winner in each of our 9 weeks.
