[nutty nigel 7,531]

Yes all good so far with Citeh now 3 up.

Fantastic stuff from Blah. £4.35 added to the pot and a x2 on the Norwich bet part of Ray''s signature. Well done buddy.

[lappinitup 629]

Beilefeld finished 2-0 so that''s the first two in the bag. On to the three o''clock kick-offs now. [:D]

[TIL 1010 4,738]

Crewe have done for us this week. [:''(]

In other news Barcelona won. [:D]

Seriously though tough luck Mr. Humphrey but a pint or three will numb the disappointment. [Y]

[nutty nigel 7,531]

Yes really close yet again this week Graham. Another 5/6 and a goal tally of 14-1. The one being the goal that scuppered Bristol City. We''ll be winning again soon though. How do I know that? Well the last 10 weeks have been 6/6, 5/6, 5/6, 6/6, 5/6, 5/6, 6/6, 6/6, 5/5, 6/6. Well done to our great team of PUPs feared by bookies everywhere!

 

And another congratulations to Blah who now has a x2 on the Norwich bet part of Ray''s signature to go with his win  on the main bet part. The £4.35 took our pot up to £450 at the half-way stage of our season. Great stuff! Here''s Ray''s signatures updated to reflect Blah''s success and the current totals : -

Bloody Nora, I swear it''s always my pick that let''s us down!

Sorry/hard luck Graham!

At least we can be happy with a well earned point at Derby

[blahblahblah 2]

Given that derbys scorers were Russell and mMartin, any chance you could have a word with bet365 about the Russell Martin to score bet ? :)

Incredible /prediction ability/insight/fortune/telepathy ( call it what you want ) from wooster canary this week. A thousand pounds on that double and the PUPS, who are already on the map, would have been off the charts.

[wooster 134]

Thanks YC - I enjoy trying to pick draws but I''m afraid my consistency is only at 35% so I don''t make NN''s table.

Some of us are "at the table", Wooster, but wish we had a chair. No, my friend, your contribution is special because you do bring something different and it contributes to the whole, and many of us are starting to recognize that.

[Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,219]

Yankee, Wooster

The profitability column is a good way to separate those on equal scores, though it could be used as a supplementary ''Pup''s Cup'' competition as an extra to the league.

This would celebrate and recognise those - like Wooster - who turn their charity pound into the highest return... Risky bets won''t come off every week, but with Wooster''s draw-picking skills, or even someone picking Blofield away to Real Madrid on the last day of the season, could still win the "Pup''s Cup"....keeping every one in it til the last day....

Thanks Parma. I''m sure Nutty is making notes.

[nutty nigel 7,531]

I love having the profitability table seperating those on equal scores from the same amount of picks. And it''s a great addition to our leagues for this purpose. It''s also of interest to the PUPs in the hot seat as they may want to weigh up the chances of a value pick in the final six. But we must always remember that our principle aim is to raise money for the CSF. Our league table is a great way to focus minds even on weeks where time is at a premium. But if we got to the point where PUPs were taking a punt at big odds to improve their positions at the end of the season it would be counter productive for the PUP charged with finding six winners that weekend. The best thing we can all do is be consistent in the methods we use. That''s why, as Yankee pointed out, Wooster''s suggestions which give a different option, are valuable to us.

 

I''m doing the stats right now so before I post I''ll I''ll put that alternative table here. In most cases the information is on our table anyway. But on this alternative table ordered the PUPs who have picked in at least half the weeks by profitability. I''ve left out us hopeless cases who are in deficit! As Ray would have said there''s two lovely old boys at the top[;)]

I''m really pleased that Mr. Tilson JUST managed to creep into the top ten [:D]....and, so as to take the sting out of his likely response, I realise I''m somewhere in oblivion on this chart. [:$]

[TIL 1010 4,738]

Just remember Yankee that in our best ever finish in a season which was 1992/93 we finished third with a -4 goal difference. [:P]

[nutty nigel 7,531]

[:$]That -4 goal difference reminds me of my profitability in our league.....

 

On to this week''s stats. 46 of us selected with 37 good picks (80%). 22 different options were suggested with 15 winning (68%). Graham made a great attempt but ended on 5/6. Well done again to Blah in the match bet[Y]
