nutty nigel 7,555 Posted November 6, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 13of the Rays Funds season. Thisweek we have our great friend and supporter Kathy in charge and making the finalselections. Now I have to admit I was worried about this. Kathy had a bad turnlast weekend and I didn’t think she’d make it to the hot seat! Butunbelievably, maybe helped by the power of the PUPs, Kathy had her very own‘Lazarus moment’ and is fighting fit to perform her duties this weekend… To be serious Kathy is one of ourtop pickers. She won with her final six last season and if us PUPs come up withthe right ammunition I think she will achieve the double. Don’t forget foryour game to be considered it must be played Sat/Sun/Mon and be listed onBet365 or William Hill web site. This week we have AJ in charge of the fiver Norwich match bet. I thinkthis bet is more exciting when it’s a Norwich home game. As well as raisingmoney for the CSF this bet gives many more PUPs a chance to become moreinvolved before they establish themselves in the Fab40. So don’t forget toleave him your suggestions. Good luck AJ, our fiver is in your hands. Don’tforget the bet can be a single £5 or divided into up to five individual £1bets. Now I’ll hand the thread over to Kathy.Remember there’s no pressure because we areall going to do our best to help you get x2 by your name in the Rays Funds Hallof Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for theCommunity Sports Foundation. Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Kathy ... the thread isyours....... [:)].............

Kathy 737 Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks for the intro Nutty! Truth is this is really bad timing,as after a promising start to the season, I come into this on the back of three straight failures. I''m plummeting downwards faster than a nudged Ashley Young. But I''m sure with the help of all you PUPs and ignoring my own selection we have a chance. Thanks for asking me to do it again Nutty.

AJ 1,224 Posted November 7, 2013 Always difficult on a cup weekend, so sticking to league games.Burnley vs Bournemouth - HOME WINBurnley on fire at the moment top of the league, and Bournemouth struggling with 4 losses in 6 games. They have conceded a massive 29 goals in 14 games, with only 2nd bottom Barnsley having conceded more. Burnley are top joint scorers on 26.As for the Norwich bet, thanks for your suggestions and best wishes - I will be splitting up the bet some-how to give us more chance of winning.Nutty I am working from 5pm ''til 11pm tomorrow, so I will be posting my final choices before then.Good luck Kathy and everyone!

Gingerpele 0 Posted November 7, 2013 Well, only one choice for me after Messi returned to goal scoring ways! Barca travel to Betis who occupy the third relegation spot, ahead of the other two on goal difference, there form has been poor and Barca are Barca.As for the Norwoch bet, I would have suggested 0-0, but to offer someone different I''d go with an Own goal to be scored, 8/1.So it''s:Betis vs Barcelona- away win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Linfield are top with a home record of W4 D2 L1 F14 A7 Warrenpoint are second bottom with an away record of W2 D1 L4 F7 A13. Linfield v Warrenpoint Town Home Win And a couple of tentative selections for AJ : - Norwich to win to nil @3/1Russell Martin to score anytime @14/1 Good luck everyone.

AJ 1,224 Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks for all your suggestions, it''s been difficult deliberating all the scenarios, odds and specials and weighing up what is best - so what I''ve done is split up our fiver into 5 bets with long odds to try win us some decent money. Can''t imagine how difficult it is to pick the weekly bets because it was tricky enough doing this. But all the same a lot of fun, and hopefully a chance to win us some pennies.I was going to post these tomorrow, but because I have the day off, the patience of a 5 year old and because I''m working tomorrow, I may as well post them now.£1 on 0-0 Draw 9/1 (pays 10.00)£1 on 2-2 Draw 14/1 (Pays 15.00)£1 Half Time / Full Time Correct Score (0.0), (1-1) 14/1 (Pays 15.00)£1 10 Minute Goals Over 0.5 9/2 (Pays 5.50)£1 Pilkington to score anytime 9/2 (Pays 5.50)Total possible win 51.00If anybody has any further/alternate suggestions, feel free to weigh in as I believe Nutty won''t put these through until tomorrow.Now good luck everyone, and most of all, best of luck Kathy!Thanks Nutty for asking me to do this, I hope I bring us some good fortune(s)!

nutty nigel 7,555 Posted November 7, 2013 Looking good AJ[Y] I won''t put these on until tomorrow evening so if you want to add anything before then that''s fine by me. The main reason our benefactor funded this was to give the PUPs who won''t get a go at this season''s final selections a chance to be more involved. Even without the winnings this has been a success.
