[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]No problems whatsoever Eddie[:)][/quote]

 

Well I''ve drawn a blank in my quest for new blood this week so I''d like to take you up on your kind offer of being a stand by ''Slim. I''ll venture back out there for the Spurs game[H]

 

I''m sure are fiver is in very safe hands.

League One where Tranmere seem to struggle at home, (3-5-6-17-27) entertain Preston who seem to do better away (8-4-2-18--11).Tranmere Rovers v Preston.......Away win.Good luck Clyde. [Y]

For the City bet,  Norwich to win and Hooper to score anytime. (I think they''ll batter us but we''ll break away late on and sneak a win). [:D]

[norfolkchance1 0]

Leeds to beat Yeovil for me this week.

For the Norwich maybe we could sneak a draw.

Good luck Yankee and all!

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

No problem Nutty. I''ll be back later with my selections.

[MethCanary 0]

A change in mo for me this week, I''m abandoning my usual group of European powerhouses and going for a selection that has been jumping out at me all week.

Crystal palace v WBA home win @ odds of 8/5

If my research is correct palace at home v bottom half teams have won 5/8 62% WBA away v bottom half teams won 0/4 0% odds of 8/5 about a home win suggest it has a 38% chance of happening. On value grounds the price just looks wrong.

I hope this change off approach does not come back to haunt me but that price just keeps catching my eye.

For the match bet how about RVW 1-0

Good luck everybody

[Herman 9,694]

LILLE to beat Sochaux.

A bit of a risky one as Lille have been on bad form but Sochaux are awful.

The odds are good though.

Good luck Yankee and all PUPS.

[Cosmic Twin 184]

I''m also going for a home win for Lille v. Sochaux.

Lille are W8 D1 L2 F16 A6 at home and Sochaux are W0 D2 L10 F8 A31 away.

Good Luck, Yankee!

[Beauseant 0]

FC Porto for me please.

 

Good luck all!

[Mandie Moo 93]

Evening everyone

MMMK - LUTON home win

MM - FC PORTO home win

Good Luck everyone

Thanks to everyone for a great set of selections. We can only have six, of course, and the trick is trying to blend strong probabilities with a couple that have a little more risk to them. So, here goes:

 

Burnley to beat Millwall                  First Wazzock, Jellytot

 

Bayern Munich to beat Nurnberg   Kathy   

 

Lille to beat Sochaux                     Herman, Cosmic Twin

 

Crusaders to beat Ballymoney      Trent

 

Schalke to beat Hannover            Yankee

 

Porto To beat Pacos De Ferreira   Hissing Sid, norfolkbroadslim, JB, chellecity, Beauseant, Mandie Moo

 

Just in case there are any of these called off let''s use substitute games 1) Loyola to beat Socceroo and Olympiakos to beat Veria

[nutty nigel 7,506]

Yankee and ''Slim.. I''m allowed out tonight but I''ll be back later tonight to sort the bets.

[Statto28 0]

Luton win for me please  As always heres hoping for both a PUPs and City win 

[Diesel Doris 126]

BRENTFORD. v. Crawley Town HOME WIN

Good Luck Yankee and all you Lovely PUPs

For the Norwich bet Joseph Yobo to score anytime.Good Luck!

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Evening all.  I have decided to split the fiver 5 ways.  No matter how much logic dictated, I found it very difficult to bet on Man City winning the game.  Anyway, who is to say that this won''t be one of those games where we get a result against one of the big boys!  Hopefully these will provide lots of potential and some added excitement.

Here are the 5 -

 

1. Tettey to score anytime

2. Bassong to score anytime

3. Goals - over 3.5

4. HT/FT - Draw/Norwich

5. Hooper to score first + 2-2 draw

 

Hopefully this week is just a blip and Nutty can find a new recruit for next week.  I am sure if any of you can help on that score, it would be most appreciated.

 

So that''s the 5, thanks for all the suggestions and good luck everyone.  Good luck to Norwich too, hopefully this can be ''one of those weekends''! OTBC

[Brendo 0]

Been a while since I was here...Manchester United to win please. Good luck all.

[Scooby 0]

Late again, must do better. Olympiacos to win away at Veria for me please.

Good luck all

Thanks Yankee. These look a terrific final six with a very decent potential return of £58.98. I''ve placed the bet with Bill Hill, here are the details : -

Bayern Munich	2/9	2:30 Sat
Burnley	4/6	3:00 Sat
Crusaders	1/12	3:00 Sat
Lille	2/5	7:00 Sun
Porto	2/11	4:00 Sun
Schalke	8/13	4:30 Sun

So that''s 4 games today and 2 on Sunday. Looks like we are in for an exciting weekend. Let''s keep our fingers crossed that we get that little bit of luck we always need.

Thanks ''Slim. You''ve done us proud buddy. I hope I''ve placed these bets correctly. I noticed some big differences in the odds between Bet365 and Bill Hill. The most startling difference was the odds for 2-2 with Hooper scoring first. Bet365 was 110/1 while Hills was 250/1. I tried to secure the best potential return for each bet. As it''s split 5 ways I''ve also increased the stake to 1.50 each.

 

1. Tettey to score anytime at 14/1 with Bet365 to return £22.50

2. Bassong to score anytime at 20/1 with Bill Hill to return £31.50

3. Goals - over 3.5 at 13/10 with Bill Hill to return £3.45

4. HT/FT - Draw/Norwich at 22/1 with Bet365 to return £34.50

5. Hooper to score first + 2-2 draw at 250/1 with Bill Hill to return £376.50

 

Good luck everyone[Y]

[CDMullins 436]

Chelsea please NN

[SwindonCanary 455]

 late ! MAN UTD v Fulham. home win

[splutcho 173]

It worked! I''ll never make the top 40, but I might just pick a Norwich loss every week!

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

Ah well, sorry guys.  I had a feeling that today would be one of those days and so it proved to be, which was great for Norwich and us.  I am kicking myself now for not having the conviction to cover it more though and more so because I was deliberating over the ht/ft of either draw/draw & draw/Norwich.

 

Anyway, thank you for the opportunity Eddie.

[norfolkbroadslim 223]

.......and well done Yankee, for the 3 from 3 today and hopefully more of the same tomorrow[Y]

[Herman 9,694]

The risky Lille pulled through. Well done Yankee. Four down.

[YankeeCanary 0]

 

Well, that''s day one out of the way. By the way, Herman, I always thought the real risky one is my own selection for tomorrow, Schalke. It was between them and the one I was sorely tempted to go with ,Purple''s exotic selection, but he let me know that it was a very early Saturday game and, with Nutty having a Friday night out on the town ( city ) I opted for the greater return that Schalke would provide. That''s the one I''m concerned about. We don''t do sorry and blame on this thread but, if Schalke fails to deliver, I''m going to blame Nutty for painting the town red. [:D]

[Diesel Doris 126]

Going well Yankee hope it continues tomorrow. Hard luck Nbs.Eddie, as my original pick of Brentford was postponed could I change to TORINO who play Bologna tomorrow ?
