Jim Smith 2,290 Posted January 9, 2015 Morning AllSorry for my lack of response to this thread so far - week from hell at work. Going to look at all your helpful suggestions now and make my selections.Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted January 9, 2015 Charlton have drawn 13 times this season, and Brighton 11 times. This makes a draw ratio for both teams of 50 %.So ill go for charlton - Brighton draw.For the norwich bet, both teams have been free scoring this season, so over 3.5 goals if that bet is possible.good luck all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted January 9, 2015 For the Norwich Cty bet I suggest a 2-2 draw, at 12/1. Good luck Jim! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,188 Posted January 9, 2015 I''m going to go for Man City to win away at out of form Everton at a large looking 10/11..As for the Norwich bet, it''s only Bournemouth and we are nearly 4/1.

AJ 1,218 Posted January 9, 2015 League 2 for me this week and it''s Burton vs Maccelsfield HOME WIN please!As for the match thread I''d like to think Cameron Jerome should score anytime to impress his new manager.Good luck all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hector Brockelbank 95 Posted January 9, 2015 Evo stick southern premier for me this week and a home win for promotion chasing WEYMOUTH v Cambridge City. Weymouth are unbeaten at home winning 8 and drawing 2 while Cambridge are 4-4-5 away from home. 4/9 with bet365 looks fair to me.Can''t make my mind up for the match bet between no goalscorer or a 2-0 city winGood luck everybody 31st is ok for me nutty. Looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkchance1 0 Posted January 9, 2015 Southend to beat Plymouth for me this week.For the Norwich bet I would go for a scoring draw.Good Luck Cosmic Twin , Jim Smith and all pickers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted January 9, 2015 Hello EveryoneThanks all for the suggestions - so many its taken me a bit of time to sift through them. I don;t know if I am jumping the gun making my selections for the match bet now but this is the only window I have today really so here goes!Has been difficult this week because I think its really hard to judge the likely effect of the manager change. Whilst I would hope the players will feel they have a point to prove and will want to impress the new manager i still recall our abject displays under Butterworth prior to Lambert''s appointment being confirmed and am just a little concerned as to how up for this game Phelan might be having been overlooked for the job. Still, i am going to be positive about this so selections are:R. Martin to score at any time. (£1)2-2 draw (£1)Norwich to win 4-2 (£1)Bournemouth winning half time Norwich win full time (£1)0-0 (£1)And the hedge your bets option Bournemouth to win 2-0.Hope this is all alright and what I was supposed to do. I''m not really much of a betting man as you can probably tell from the above!Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trent Canary 0 Posted January 9, 2015 To the Northern Ireland cup, where I think Glentoran will beat Ards.Glentoran are 5th in the premier league, Ards are second in the championship equivalent.Best of luck all.NCFC bet - Will go with 2-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted January 9, 2015 Its fantastic Jim! Thank you for doing it and helping us out. Us PUPs aren''t really betting people, I''m the only one day who has to worry about bookies and the like. We just predict. I''ll put these on later. I hope you enjoyed helping us and hope you return with some predictions when you have the time. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,530 Posted January 9, 2015 The Hong Kong Premier League.Sun Pegasus to win at home against Wofoo Tai Po.Second versus bottom (ninth) in one of those leagues where there tends to be quite a gap between the top few and the bottom few teams.Sun Pegasus with a not brilliant 2-0-2 and 6/5 home record, but those defeats have been against the teams in 1st and 4th places. Wofoo Tai Po with a 0-0-4 and 4/16 away record. Their most recent away game ended in a 7-1 defeat to the top team.The current odds (on Bet 365) for the game on Saturday morning (UK time) are 1/8.Good luck to all!

wooster 134 Posted January 9, 2015 [quote user="woostercanary"]Good luck to all.I fancy a couple of draws:Mainz vs Paderborn at 13/5 2-2 in the Norwich game at 14/1.[/quote]Seems I was a small matter of 3 weeks early with my Mainz/Paderborn draw - easily done if you don''t check the dates! (I think only YC reads my picks anyway)So instead I''ll go for a Burnley/QPR draw at 12/5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,351 Posted January 9, 2015 Thank you for these Cosmic. They look a superb and well thought out final six with an exciting potentail return. I''ve placed the bet with Bill Hill and a winning six would pay £54.22. Here are the details : - TNS 2/9 2:30 Sat Yankee, Parma, Mr Angry Real Madrid 1/10 3:00 Sat YellowF,Tilly,Chelle,Vindo,Beaus,Statto,Cosmic Chelsea 2/9 3:00 Sat Cosmic, Angry, Herman, GPele, Purple Aberdeen 6/10 3:00 Sat Mandie Lyon 13/20 1:00 Sun Herman, jb, Kathy Panathinaikos 1/4 3:15 Sun FTW, Sid So we have four tomorrow afternoon and two on Sunday. If we get t5hat little bit of luck we alwas need Cosmic will complete a hat-trick of wins by Sunday evening! Good luck everyone[:)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,351 Posted January 9, 2015 Now as I said earlier Jim Smith has done a fantastic job with the match bets. I''d like to thank him once again for helping us and Jim please come back as often as you can. I''ve placed these to our best advantage because this week there were some big differences between Bill Hill and Bet 365 for the individual bets. This is what we''ve got : - R. Martin to score at any time £1.00 Bet 365 16/1 £17.00 2-2 draw £1.00 Bill Hill 14/1 £15.00 Norwich to win 4-2 £1.00 Bill Hill 80/1 £81.00 Bournemouth half time Norwich full time £1.00 Bet 365 33/1 £34.00 0-0 £1.00 Bet 365 12/1 £13.00 Bournemouth to win 2-0. £1.00 Bill Hill 10/1 £11.00 These certainly add some excitement to tomorrows match. I''m not greedy so I''ll settle for Bournemouth leading 2-1 at half-time with Russell Martin scoring our goal, then us winning 4-2 in the end [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
