The Great Drinkell 50 Posted January 23, 2015 [quote user="woostercanary"]After a bit of luck on Monday night - thank you for all the kind comments - my 1:3 hit rate suggests this week and next will be barren. Nevertheless, I''m going to try another draw this week:St Etienne vs PSG, at 2/1. Saint-Etienne (4th on 40 pts) have drawn 3/10 at home and PSG (3rd on 41 pts) have drawn 5/11 away. Compelling isn''t it ......[/quote]I do hope you haven''t forgotten to take the RVW factor into consideration here Wooster? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feedthewolf 4,790 Posted January 23, 2015 A little earlier than planned, something''s cropped up that means I''ll be out the loop this evening! Here are my six bets – £3 on each, with the £12 I''ve added to this week''s pot:£3 Draw HT/Norwich FT (100/30)£3 Lafferty to score any time (29/20)£3 Jerome first goal, Norwich to win 2-1 (33/1)£3 Over 5.5 goals in the match (9/1)£3 Brentford to win and both teams to score (6/1)...and, somewhat speculatively:£3 R.Martin first goal, Norwich to win 3-2 (460/1)If that last one comes in, I''m going to regret not putting a couple of quid of my own on it...

I''ve placed the bet with Bill Hill and the potential return is £35.16. Here are the details : - Benevento 3/10 1:30 Sat Parma Chelsea 1/8 3:00 Sat DDD, Kathy, Beaus, GMF, Vindo Atletico Madrid 2/7 7:00 Sat Inchy, Chelle Lyon 4/11 1:00 Sun Yankee, Sid, Mandie, Purple, Cosmic Juventus 1/7 2:00 Sun FTW Sporting 1/5 4:00 Sun JB So that''s an even split over the weekend with three tomorrow and three on Sunday.

nutty nigel 7,352 Posted January 24, 2015 That Chelsea result probably did for a lot of coupons this weekend. Add to that the other FA Cup results and I think it would have been unlikely that anyone would have got a winning six this week. Poor Chelle never really had a chance but the beauty of PUPs is she''ll get another go next season when I hope the football Gods are more kind. Feedthewolf did fantastically well. He covered our @rses in fact by keeping one bet for "if the worst happens". Now I had some wins at this on Boxing Day when we destroyed Millwall and feel lucky to select in such a week. It''s a lot harder to come up with something in a game we not only lost but also didn''t score first in. FTW''s win today was probably the greatest achievement on the match bet so far. And we wouldn''t have won if we hadn''t scored too so our beloved team did manage to contribute to this great win. I''m really pleased for FTW after he sent the money to treble the bet meaning our total was increased by £27. I will sign off this post with Ray''s signature updated to show FTW''s great win and the new totals. I loved the hour this morning where we saw the DS team train and got a real feel for what we achieve with the funds we raise. And it was great to meet Yellowfuture for the first time. A top bloke who''s become a real asset to our team since he joined. And of course old friends Mandie, Jellytot, DDD and Pauls Ferry. Special mention for Leedscanary who left home at 5am to be sure of getting to Norwich in time. The CSF took a photo which I hope to be able to show you all during the week.

Feedthewolf 4,790 Posted January 25, 2015 Thanks very much for the kind words, Eddie - a nice ''consolation prize'' after a very disappointing afternoon at Carrow Road. And the Chelsea result was the ultimate coupon-buster, so really tough luck on Chellecity too.Even the result at CR couldn''t take too much gloss off the day in general, though - I proposed to my girlfriend yesterday morning, and she said yes! Then we had to suffer a sorrowful parting, as she sat in the Barclay while I was in the N&P. A shame that our boys couldn''t muster a performance befitting of the occasion, but them''s the breaks...
