Bet of the Week - Week 12
Friday, 11th December 2009 3:54pm
As it was a "double winner" week we split the duties - first up the Wigan Peer, Neil Birchall...
"Its a tricky one, I should perhaps wait until the midweek fixtures are over with but to hell with it.....knowing me i will forget."
- Away Win Treble:
- Blackpool, Forest and Fulham [24/1]
- Draw Treble:
- City, Watford, Sheff Utd [39/1]
Next!
Now then, this is how it should be done! Demonstrating how to take this seriously for the sake of those less fortunate in the predicting stakes I present she of the Karen O barnet, Jo Lowe...
"Right - here goes then. One day, I’ll show you the piece of paper with all my workings out. I’ve been through at least 12 different leagues and have worked out number of home wins for home teams and number of away losses for away teams, home goal difference and away goal difference, standings in the league and a bit on current form. I’ve scrapped at least 4 original ideas, particularly Spurs as their defence is not good enough....... I could not have put more effort in, but please don’t tell anyone that when I only get one flippin’ home win! I do hope this works......"
- English PL: Chelsea v Everton
- English League 1: Huddersfield v Gillingham
- Spanish La Liga: Barcelona v Espanyol
- Scottish Div 1: Dundee FC v Ayr
- Portuguese Liga: FC Porto v Vitoria Setubal
- Portuguese Liga: Sporting Braga v Naval
- Dutch Eredivisie: Ajax v NEC Nijmegen
4/1 for those little lot - c’mon!
Result: LOSE & LOSE

Hola,
Scoresheets by 11.59 tomorrow please - there will be no more reminders! Remember if you miss the early kick off you can send in scores for games that haven’t kicked off and if you miss the 3 o’clocks you can send in for the 5.15 game onwarsd etc etc
Bet of the Week in it’s new guise will kick off proper next week but to give you an example, I present the following -
- 7 Homes - Liverpool / Spurs / WBA / Charlton / Huddersfield / Rochdale / Rotherham @ 14/1
- So if this came in, £8 (initial £1 stake + half the winnings) would go the "spot prize place" and £7 to the person who selected the bet
- 3 Draws - Birmingham / Derby / MK Dons @ 34/1
- So if this came in, £18 (initial £1 stake + half the winnings) would go the "spot prize place" and £17 to the person who selected the bet
- 3 Aways - Villa / Man Utd / Middlesbro @ 6/1
- So if this came in, £4 (initial £1 stake + half the winnings) would go the "spot prize place" and £3 to the person who selected the bet
Result: LOSE
Cheers,
Pab
Bet of the Week - the new format!
Friday, 25th September 2009 9:55am
As you may well know, we always ask the Weekly Winner to share his or her football predicting knowledge to help us bash up the bookie in the following week.
This has had varying success. Well, actually it’s had little or no success (bar Dave Nicklin once netting a healthy 8 game accumulator!) and the participants kinda dawdled into it with no real conviction.
We plan to change that.
This season we will take £39 from the kitty and allocate £3 a week to the previous week’s winner to place 3 £1 bets (to be placed by a PAS drone that I can trust. Dave? Is that work experience scally alright to pop over to Fred’s?)
These bets will be a 7 homes accumulator, a draw treble and an away win treble.
Any profit made from these bets will be split accordingly:
- Half of the profit will go to Weekly Winner who selected the bets
- Half will go to one of 3 "spot prize" slots (this means each "spot prize" slot will have 4 chances to build up it’s value although if the bets crash out, they could end up as £0!)
Good eh?!
So, it means the weekly winners will now have to take their responsibilities a bit more seriously, after all, they could earn some serious wedge out of it if all the selections come in!
Cheers,
Pabby Power
