Surely not another slip up…
“Porsche Majeure”: You can tell it’s the holiday season – people put down crazy scores, crazy scores come in.
Mr 2-0 is oversubscribed as people “forget” or drift off into an alcoholic abyss with little chance of predicting succour.
Form goes out the window & “coupon busters” are celebrated by bookies across the country.
So how do you combat this perennial problem?
Don’t ask me, I had Everton v Spurs as 1-1 & Cardiff to beat Elfin Utd…
However, as Alfredo Morelos netted his 2nd for Rangers in the 88th minute v St Johnstone, the miracle of Christmas left Mark P & Paul C trailing in the wake behind Paul Henshaw 38 (6)
Ding dong (merrily on high)!
The Syndicate will be getting beers this Christmas!
Here’s the science bit – 7 of youse managed 30 points or more.
(Belated) Merry Christmas!
“Total Immersion”: It’s Christmas, there are crazy scores expected and there’s last minute shopping to be done.
Why bother doing your scores?
Nick H & Danny A are wondering just that in a week where 14 bods only managed 15 points or less.
Someone who really didn’t have a Danny this week was the professional predicting site Predictz 10 (0) – and if you’ve seen their recent predictions this season you’ll not be baffled!
Correct Score of the Week:
Some crackers here, if only a few..most popular score was Rangers’ 1-2 title winning win at St Johnstone – 25 of youse got that!
Seventeen got Celtic’s 3-0 title winning victory over Dundee
11 got the five point Arsenal v Burnley 3-1
Pab, Frankie F & Paul H got the dull-all at St James’ Park
Darren McC, Rob C & Stuart F got the very annoying last minute spoiling Aston Villa 2 Leeds 3
Five got Derby 3 Millwall 0
Bry D & Kyle B believed in Southampton. A 1-3 kinda belief…
Sam A got the thrilling Hull 3 Swansea 2
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Sam Arora (him! again!) for his I-couldn’t-let-Vardy-have-a-party-alone inspired, Chelsea 0 Leicester 1!
Bet of the Week:
We’ve changed it up!
Danny N was on “Bet of the Week” position 65th in Week 12 so we asked him to provide three results for our “trixie” £3 bet.
And guess what?!
He nailed it!
3 home wins
Stoke v Millwall (in to “nil”)
Charlton v Gillingham (in to “nil” as well!)
Forest Green v Crewe (in to “nil” as well!!)
Nice one Dan – shame you missed a trick there on the BTNTS
So, £10.74 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 65th, leaving it very desirable on £23.51 – yay!
Great effort from all our BoTWers this season. Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…
Table News:
“Psychic Data”: Nil crashed the Top Ten and highest climber this week, up a whopping 23 places is Paul Henshaw – honourable mentions go to Paul C (+22), Eddie O (+15), Howard T (+14), Darren McC (+12) and Sam A (+10)
