Rays Funds for the CSF with the Pink un Pickers Week 40

Recommended Posts

Still waiting for odds in Bulgaria, but on the assumption that does not come in let''s go with Auda to beat Olaine in LatviaA real gap in class between the top and bottom of the league. Auda are 4th, 6/0/1, and 4/0/0 at home. Olaine are second bottom, 1/0/6 and 0/0/2 away. So far Auda have a +17 goal difference through seven games, Olaine have a -22 goal difference from the same number.Hopefully should be comfortable, 1/8 reflecting this.Best of luck all. And thanks to NN as always for his hard work.

That''s the plan Hector because we have to use that this weekend. But if you want to include a game that''s only on Bet365 then send me two bets. One for Bet 365 and one for Bill Hills. Two chances are better than one [:)]

After a great deal of research I''ve decided upon the final six. Thank you all for your selections everyone of them has been considered.

At this stage of the season I like stick with teams who have something to play for. Usually the likes of juve & PSG would be first on my list, but with there respective leagues already in the bag they are passed over as are purple and trents picks as I can not find prices on hills website for them which is a shame because they look like terrific picks.

I''ve settled for three champions league chasing teams, one after there first piece of silverware in years and two who''s opposition look plain rubbish.

So the final six are:-

St. Etienne home win

Galatasaray home win

Besiktas home win also my pick

Arsenal

Shamrock rovers home win

AAB home win

All pretty skinny I''m afraid, but hopefully six good things!

Best of luck Hector. Apologies my pick was not on there, I only really look on Bet 365 so did now know. Either way, looks a very strong 6! Completely missed Shamrock who look the banker of the week.

Indeed you did Tilly. It''s mystery to me how your name appeared where it did because I only recall typing Herman in the grid!!!! Something strange going on and the implications of giving it any further thought.......

Besiktas and arsenal let us down[/quote]

 

They did but thank you again for those selections buddy. Knowing we needed Arsenal to win put an edge on the game for me. You''ve been a great addition to our team all season and next year you''ll get a better week to pick.

 

Trent''s team in Latvia won so he will be our new champion this season. Much deserved too because he''s been right up there in each of the last seven seasons.

 

Congratulations Tom[<:o)][Y][*][B]

 

I''ll be back after the weekend with all the details.

Here are the final week''s stats. 32 PUPs selected, 21 (66%) correctly. 17 different results were picked from which 13 (76%0 came up trumps. Unfortunately the most heavily picked game let us down.

 

We''ve had a good season and I''ll post the details later but for now I''d just like to congratulate Trent once again for his brilliant performance throughgout the season to win our PUPs league. I know he is worried because Broadslim hasn''t posted for a couple of weeks and I am too. But hopefully all''s well with him. We can only hope so.

 

Here''s the final table showing those with at least 50% right from at least half the available weeks : -

I think some of the achievements on here got lost amomgst furore over relegation and managerial issues. So I''ll just finish tidying this up for the season.

 

We had 10 winning weeks with the final six amounting to £429. So well done to Snake Eyes, Vindo, NWC, Hughesy, Gregt, Cosmic Twin, Norfolkbroadslim, Yankee, Trent and GMF. Thanks to our generous benefactor we also had 8 winning weeks with the match bet amounting to £76. So well done to Splutcho, JB, Javier''s Deaf Translator, Hector Brockelbank, Blahblahblah, Can u sit down please, Til1010 and Mandie Moo''s Mear Kat.

 

As well as the Â£505 won on the threads I was also lucky enough to receive a further £145 from posters honouring their bets generously for the Community Sports Foundation. On their behalf I''d like to thank Morty, nutty nigel, Wooster Canary, Lake District Canary, Yellowfuture, Lappinitup, I''m Spartacus, Crabby Canary and Purple Canary.

 

So the total cheque we present to the CSF will be for a whopping £650. I''m really proud of this and if we''re all in agreement I will arrange a presentation later in the summer.

 

Congratulations once again to Trent Canary who was a deserved winner of our league. We all hope NBS is ok but I still haven''t heard from him. It was nearly the first tie for our title!

 

Thanks everyone for your help and support. I felt we lost a bit of impetus at the end of the season and I was a bit concerned that perhaps we''d run our course. People have since assured me that''s not the case so hopefully we will carry on next season when maybe the Pink Un will be a happier place. It''s never a chore to do this and it keeps part of our great friend Ray alive on the message board. As always I''ll carry on for as long as you PUPs want me to. But I''d rather draw a line in a summer rather than fizzle out during a season.

 

We will need 30 tenners next season to survive. I am still holding £60 in funds and Tilly has since donated £40 from a bet he won. So we have a £100 start. See you all in August!
