BGG&YPOS 0 Posted February 14, 2014 P45.2, are you willing to make a bet with me, but money goes to the PUP''s pot? If Norwich go down I will pay £100 to the PUP''s pot, but when we stay up you match it, infact I will put my £100 in also when we stay up. If you are so sure we are going down you got nothing to worry about. so should not be a problem.Nutty, do you accept money like this for the PUP''s pot?I am an honourable bloke and will pay up.

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted February 14, 2014 Glad to accept anything into the pot for next season BGG&YPOS. As long as you understand that the PUPs pot is not a direct route to the CSF. How we work is the pot is used by our commited team of PUPs to raised funds for the CSF. There is no guarantee how much of that pot finally gets there. So far this season £369 has been spent to raise £409 which is a good return. Of course you can''t put a price on the enjoyment had along the way and the continued strengthening of the structure which will hopefully stay in place to continue to Rays Funds for many seasons to come. I''ve long believed that causes benefitting from peoples enjoyment is a great way to do some good in the world. PUPs is not an exclusive club and all posters would be welcome to join. The strength of our team is relevant to the amount of committed PUPs we have so the more the better. Here''s a brief run down of how it works : - The PinkUn Message Board''s Rays Funds Thread: - Thesethreads were set up by my good friend Ray Ducker (Arrdee) to raise money forthe Academy. There’s a new thread every week where Pink Un Pickers (PUPs) fromall over the world unite to try and get a winning line of six correct results fromthe weekends football fixtures. As from August 2013 we have been raising moneyfor the Community Sports Foundation. Us PUPs all decided that whilst theacademy has so much investment our funds didn’t make a difference in the waythey had in the past. The football club supported us through the change andsupport us the same now as when the funds went to the academy. How ItWorks : - EveryWednesday during the season I start the new weeks thread. The ''Pink Un Pickers''(PUPs) then select their ''nap bet'' for the weekends football fixtures that arelisted on Bet365. On the Friday evening the nominated picker from our PUPs rotaselects 6 results from the weeks picks. I then place the bet and post the betand the odds on here by the Saturday lunchtime. The PUPs rota is made up of theprevious seasons top 40. This usedto be sponsored but it''s financed by the PUPs themselves. There is norequirement to pay to play but obviously we need £400 per season. Thesedonations are made to me personally or via paypal on canaryeddie@aol.com. This is also the email addressfor anyone who wishes to contact me.Thisseason an anonymous benefactor has funded a match bet where the PUPs who won’tbe making the final selections this season have chosen how to spend a fiver onthe weekend’s Norwich game. Again suggestions are made on the thread from whichthe week’s nominated picker can make a choice or go with their own.Have wewon? : -So farthere have been 52 winning weeks, and 6 more with the match bet, in which wehave won £2038 for the academy and £409 for the CSF making £2447 in total.There have been plenty of near misses too and the ''Pink Un Pickers'' have had alot of fun trying. Want ToTake Part? : -Justregister with the Pink Un Message Board and post your very best selection onthe thread which is up every Wednesday during the season. It''s as simple asthat.

Not actually true, I got the bit that whatever happens happens every Wednesday during the season, but beyond that I really have no idea. Something to do with sleeping dogs maybe? Can''t see why they would need £400 per season though. But whatever it is, if its helps remove Hughton as manager then count me in.Moo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 How ridiculous have you ever placed a bet before?? If you have you would realise that your getting the better end of the deal!! Please don''t make me have to embarrass you further by explaining why. Also in 15years of gambling I''ve never once bet against my own team.......we got relegated but this few quid is great!!! it''s a complete conflict of interests Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 I''m sure some simpleton may tho maybe if you send nutty 300 and they send 100 yeah?? I''m sure there will be takers if you want to play fairly. So go on then offer 300, I mean I''m sure your confident in 3goal a game hughton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 Oooh Warren don''t double or triple dare me or i''ll hand my money over right now..... to a stranger for odds lower than every bookmaker in the country, just to please some anonymous happy clappers. if I didn''t support Norwich I think I would find the odds quite tempting actually I mean take out man city draw (0-0 anyway) and we''re not playing well at all. However it would be more than a ton on it if I''ve gotta wait that long to collect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy is a legend 224 Posted February 14, 2014 Considering how certain some of you are that we are going down you should be getting the mortgage on our 13/8 price. Conversely we are 4/9 to survive - the bookies therefore indicating that at this stage we are more likely to survive than be relegated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 Well done Beefy,.... bloody favourites never lose do they?? as I''ve said elsewhere on current form then we will go down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy is a legend 224 Posted February 14, 2014 Where did I say that favourites never lose? The answer is that I didn''t say that and you are setting up a straw man argument so that you can knock it down.What I said was that the bookmaker''s analysis suggests that we are more likely to survive, right now, than we are to go down, whereas many of you seem to be attempting to argue that we are almost down already.

Molly Windley 76 Posted February 14, 2014 If I have followed this correctly then P45,2 thinks the odds of Norwich going down are 3 to 1 against.Good man, I knew deep down that you had faith in Chris Hughton and the team all along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 754 Posted February 14, 2014 The point is P45, you said we would go down but won''t take up the bet. That''s why you have no trousers.Nothing to do with Bacca - thats just a red herring to hid your red face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 So it''s a real shocker that west ham have improved to you then, new signings and carroll coming back shouldn''t have given them a lift no?

Hughtons P45.2 0 Posted February 14, 2014 Is that chewbacca?? Or a different bacca?? Maybe to-bacca?? No I quit smoking ages ago thanks thoDid you mean Barca as in Barcelona??

So when you suggested that I was talking out of my ''Anus'' I trust you''ll accept that that was also petulant?It wasn''t at all a shocker to me that West Ham have improved - that was my point in the first place. The ''predictors'' are unable to sufficiently take account of the fitness and availability of players that can make a big difference - I certainly believe that our performances have improved since Tettey came back into the side, even if the results have not yet followed.
