nutty nigel 7,963 Posted October 30, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 12 of the Rays Funds season. We haveone of our most consistent pickers with Herman in charge and make the finalselections. Herman is one of Rays Funds’ real stars. Always around the top ofour PUPs league and this season is no exception because Herman is on 10/11 91%.This is also the third time Herman’s made the final selections and his twoprevious turns sum up how we need everything to go for us if we’re to win. Twoseason’s ago a stoppage time winner got the 6th selection home for awin. Last season the 6th selection couldn’t find the back of the netresulting in 5 wins and a draw from the 6. But 11 wins and 1 draw is a prettygood return from 2 attempts! I can see another win coming here but if he’s tosucceed herman will need the very best selection from each and every one of us.Don’t forget for your game to be considered it must be played Sat/Sun/Mon andbe listed on Bet365 or William Hill web site. This week we have I’m A Banana in charge of the fiver Norwich match bet.Now I’ve been looking forward to this since we started with this venture. Ithink ‘nana is suited to this bet. And I reckon we’re going to end up with avery interesting and exciting selection. Don’t forget to leave him yoursuggestions. Good luck Lewis, our fiver is in your hands. Don’t forget the betcan be a single £5 or divided into up to five individual £1 bets. Now I’ll hand the thread over to Herman.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 FoundationGood luck all you PUPs... take it away Herman ... the thread is yours.......[:)].........

jb 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Hello all,My pick is Napoli to beat Catania in Serie A.As for the Norwich bet, kolarov to score any time at 4/1 might soften the blow a bit (ill be more positive by Saturday, I''m sure...) Good luck Herman and nana!Jb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 823 Posted October 30, 2013 I''ll go early this week as I''m off to a murder mystery weekend early Friday.FC Twente v NEC Nijmegen home win please. For City''s game I''m afraid I think Aguero will score at any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Hopefully enough pickets read this to offer me their selection. But I do intend to split the £5 into £1 and a £4 bet.The £1 will be a first/last goal scorer and score double.The other £4 I have no idea what I''ll do with it, but something which is even money or better!!!

The Great Drinkell 51 Posted October 31, 2013 Well good luck to both Pickers this week - I hope these help?For Herman I''m again looking for a bit of value to increase the funds and will take Brentford who are starting to show some of last seasons form to win a tricky away game Crawley but at 6/4 I think this is a good bet.As for the City bet well having guided him through life so far - with varying amounts of success -I would give Nanna the following,Aquero to score and Man City to win 2-0 @ 16/1 for your £1Draw HT Man City Full time @ 3/1 for the other £4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,963 Posted October 31, 2013 I''m offering Herman a selection in Belgium this week. No team has scored more than Anderlecht (34) while no team has conceded more than OH Leuven (23). Anderlecht v OH Leuven Home Win And for young ''nana''s consideration I believe Pilks scored in both fixtures against Man Citeh last season so maybe he''ll do it again? Anthony Pilkington to score anytime at 9/1 with Bet365. Good luck everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted October 31, 2013 Napoli v Catania home winWith all the media hype about joe hart how about man city to win to nil. Negative I know, but fearing a hiding this week :-( hope I''m wrong. Good luck everybody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warren Hill 0 Posted October 31, 2013 I''m going with Man U to win at Fulham.Man U are now unbeaten in 6, showed that horrible trait they''ve got of winning when it looked like they''d lose against Stoke and Rooney and RVP have had an easy week.Also, Fulham are crap. Good Luck everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chellecity 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Italy this week and 2nd place Napoli v 3rd bottom Catania - Home WinFor the Norwich bet, how about Olsson to score anytime at 22/1Good luck all, especially Herman and Banana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Been looking at fixtures and form for absolutely ages and can''t fin anything I really like. Wanted to pick Barca as I expect Messi to score a hat-tick, he often follows suit when Ronaldo does so. But they''re playing on Friday. Also tempted by Almeria as they got their first win against Valencia this week, but probably not worth offering to Herman as its not something i''d put in an accumulator. Also then very tempted to suggest Stoke vs Southampton as a draw, i''ll be doing it myself, but again not sure i''d want to suggest it for this, so i''m going to go for Madrid to carry on thrashing teams as they travel to bottom three team Rayo Vallecano.And for the Norwich bet i''d go 0-0 just for fun, its 18/1.So its:Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid- Home win.Good luck :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandie Moo 94 Posted October 31, 2013 Good Evening one and all and best of luck to all PUPs.MMMK - NAPOLI -v- Catania HOME WINMM - Turriff United v STIRLING AWAY WINFor the Norwich bet how about Howson to score anytime??Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 2,094 Posted October 31, 2013 I''m venturing into Portugal and their Super Liga. I think RvW''s former club Sporting will beat Maritimo at home. Sporting are 2nd and Maritimo are 3 off the bottom, the odds are a generous 4/9.Good luck to all PUPs but extra luck to Herman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splutcho 196 Posted October 31, 2013 I''m going to Belgium where I expect Genk (2nd place, won their last 5) to beat Mons (Bottom, lost their last 4) away from home. Odds are a generous 4/7.As for the Norwich bet, how about a handicap bet, Man City to win -3 at 10/3. At least we can win some money while we get humped.
