L13 Spring 2006 : Week 2 – Roundup

Written by

Hibees :
It’s never happened before and we had to dig out archive rules to make a decision on this too! Whoooooooo! Exciting! Two people didn’t send scores in for whatever reason, actually, while we’re here, does anyone know Steve Tindall? please get in touch! Anyway, as you may have noticed there were loads of 2-0’s this week, so many in fact, that Mr 2-0 35(7) won the week! The booty is shared with the lucky non-entrants however, so, Matt Worsfold & Steve Tindall will each receive £6.67 each and Mr 2-0’s cut (the devilish £6.66) will rollover Lotto stylee to next weeks weekly prize – all to play for then!
Pope O’Rangers:
A bit like getting thrashed at home in the Cup without actually having to run around for 90 minutes to get humiliated – Andy Bowkett is this weeks doughnut with a score of 10(0)
Correct Score of the Week:
Four got Hearts, three got Sp*rs (Neil m / Simon S / Pam D) and two (gutted) people got Man Utd 4 Fulham 2. So, John W and Richard L cancel each other out to leave Mark F with the best correct score so far….
Bet of the Week :
Now, the only reason I didn’t get on this was due to the muvver of all hangovers (a top night out with our current League Champion, the delightful Clare N and her beau, Neil T) and pure laziness (think of that Charlatans song…). Just as well, cos Dave N missed out on a bumper payday all because the perrenial coupon busters, Wolves, failed to win again – booooo! Going into Week 3 we’re £5 down – Matt W and Steve T you’re up next. I did ask Mr 2-0 but he just said “put 2-0 for everything…”

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Spring 2006 : Week 2 – BotW

Hola!

I'll be sending my scores round at about 5.30pm… snowed under here!

See below on how to present your “bet of the week&8221; – whether or not it comes in is your five pound dilemma – good luck!

Over to Dave N….

I've attached my predictions for this week, and here goes my attempt at bringing Ladbrokes to their knees:

  1. Kop out bet

    If anyone doesn't trust my judgement (who'd blame 'em) then my suggestion is to stick 3 lucky dips on the Euro lottery tonight.

    I'll expect a significant kickback if anyone wins the jackpot tho. :-)

    Odds that follow are from ladbrokes.com….

  2. 6 Selection/Accumulator @ £5

    OK, if you're still reading then you're probably Jon Tofeili and you'll bet on cockroach racing so you'll have no problem chucking a fiver on these dodgy results:

    Birmingham vs Arsenal
    Selection: Arsenal@10/11
    Manchester Utd vs Fulham
    Selection: Manchester Utd@1/4
    Leicester vs Wolves
    Selection: Wolves@5/4
    Leeds vs QPR
    Selection: Leeds@4/7
    Crewe vs Reading
    Selection: Reading@4/9
    Newcastle vs Portsmouth
    Selection: Newcastle@8/11

    Accumulator Potential Return: £105.26

  3. 7 Selection/Accumulator @ £5

    If that wasn't enough, I thought it only fair to involve the Mackems in this for a laugh, so take the above plus this:

    West Ham vs Sunderland
    Selection: West Ham@1/2

    Accumulator Potential Return: £157.88

  4. 7 Selection/sixfold @ £3.50

    Not as good a return, but if you stick a sixfold from all 7 games from bet (3) above:

    Sixfolds from 7 = Potential Return: £68.56

Before anyone asks, yes I am indecisive, yes I do analyse this $hit far too much, and no I'd never be happy with any of the above bets.

My fiver is on bet (2), plus the cheeky lucky dips on the lottery, just can't help myself.

Have a good weekend, Dave

Result: LOSER!

DJ Campbell :
He wasn’t in the Cup cos he didn’t qualify and only got into the prestigious Spring Lucky 13 cos he’s now an honourary board member at PAS Towers. Yes, Dave Nicklin 37 (5), picks up the first £20 (always nice!) and can now play for fun for the remaining 12 weeks – howay!
Sunderpants:
Wigan, Bolton, out of the PAS Cup to the mother-in-law, 11(0)… My week was complete! I don’t like football…
Correct Score of the Week:
Loads got the Arse demise, a lot got Man Yoo (how to play properly in the Cup Mr Wenger if you’re reading..), a few got Villa, a handful guessed Brentford (Jamie S / Jon T / Matt W), Dave N should have won with his Huddersfield 3 Oldham 2. However, the current holder is Mark Fawke for his Colchester 3 Derby 1(scant consolation for finishing one point off the prize money?)
Bet of the Week :
Mr Nicklin, you’re up first – what will you be wagering £5 on next week?
The Cup – R3 2nd leg results
Ding dong battle between the Neil’s B & M – Simon S is the lowest scoring person to progress – John W is the highest scoring person to go out…

Spring Cup Draw will be made soon – 4th round is on weekend 18th/19th February.

Cheers,
Pab

Thought of the Week : Don’t try and move house and do your scores – it doesn’t work…

Spring Cup 2006 : Pre-Season

Hola!

A couple of people have dropped out so a couple of people who finished just outside the Top 32 have been invited to join us…

Start those cheques/transfers coming in – we kick off PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2006 on w/e 28th/29th January and end thirteen weeks later on w/e April 22nd/23rd 2006.

Get that £22.50 rolling in please (cheques made payable to me!)

The 1st week of the PAS League is also the 2nd leg of the 3rd round of the Cup!

Cheers,
Pab

Spring Cup 2006 1st Round 1st Leg (FA Cup 3rd Round)

Written by

Robbie! Robbie! Robbie!:
Not the best week to “win” as there’s no prize money – but upping her kudos is the missus, Michelle F 35(5) and she even had the sense not put Man yoo as her “joker”!
Spurs:
All those “no shows” who didn’t send scores in – you fools! 12(0) is your scant reward!
Correct Score of the Week:
Loads got Blackburn and Millwall, and quite a few got WBA, Man Citeh, Wigan & Sunderland – this weeks award is null & void unless someone wants to put a case forward?
Jokers:
No one took full advantage, 4 of you chose Man U or Fulham (duh!) and two of you (John W & Dan McG) didn’t bother to nominate a “joker” game!
Payments:
Yep we’re all in the same boat being skint after Christmas, but if you can, start getting your £22.50’s in to me asap
All payments in by 28th January please – you can send a post dated cheque if you prefer.

PAS Lucky 13 Spring 2006 – We begin with Week 1 on the weekend of January 28/29. This will also double up as the 3rd round 2nd leg.

The scoresheet will appear on the webpage early next week – in the meantime sit back, relax, start studying the form and look forward to the results of our Christmas “Year End” survey for all things music & football…

Cheers,
Pab

Spring Cup 2006 : Pre-Season

Written by

Congratulations! You made it through and now will be involved in the Cup competition that runs alongside the next Lucky 13 campaign. Also, you’re guaranteed entry into the World Cup special in June – cool eh?!

First off – IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE PART NEXT YEAR PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP!!!

The cost will go up slightly to £22.50 (to pay for the Cup comp) and I know you’re all good for the money so as long as you get the money in by the end of Jan (after the next payday, that’s cool)

The 1st scoresheet you will receive will be for the 1st round of the Cup on weekend 6/7 Jan – if you haven’t got thru to this stage before, basically what happens is you get drawn against one another and are playing against each other – highest scorer goes thru to the next round and so on to the Final.

The 1st round of the Cup does not carry a £20 weekly prize.

The 1st week of Lucky 13 Spring 2006 will start the following week and run for 13 weeks in the same format as you’ve just completed.

I’ll get Dave N to post up the 1st Cup scoresheet asap and I will mail round the “draw” soon as well.

Any queries/questions – give me a shout

Cheers,
Pab

L13 Winter 2005 : Week 13 – Final Review

Written by

Super Cally:
I won! I won! I won! I woooooooonnnnnnnnn! 30(5)Gedddddinnnnnn! Ahem. Sorry. The weekly win has taken me back from the dark-side where I was planning to do an Arfur Fowler and steal the Christmas money cos I can’t nick from meself can I?! Chelle, Christmas is back on luv, and you’ll be getting a pressie!
Gooner Title Hopes:
If getting the highest score is best in the last week, then getting the lowest is the worst. Joanne Gracie & Jazz Sian your 11(0) has cost you both dear I’m afraid to say!
Correct Score of the Week:
Would you Adam n Believe it?! Gary Blackburne has been in sparkling form the last few weeks and pulled out a plum with Boro 3 Spurs 3 for a massive 10 pointer that really helped consolidate his Top 10 finish AND he takes the “Best Correct Score of the Season” title too! Olly O was unlucky with his Norwich 3 Soton 1 scoreline….
Bet of the Week:
Nothing from Jazz S this week and just as well eh???! If you followed all the tips this season you would be around £50 up – not bad considering every other time we’ve tried this people have had to declare bankruptcy… Well done to all weekly winners.Tick. 9/10.
2005 Top 5’s etc:
We’ve had a great response to this and I shall publish the findings when I’m skiving at work in between Chrimbo and the New Year – thanks for all those who contributed!

Week 13 – The Final

OK, so the nerves were jangling and the Top 3 could only manage 37 points between them! However, Clare Nevin did enough to hold on and is deservedly crowned Champion for Winter 2005 – well done Clare, not only your debut but your the first girl to take the title – big up! Finishing fast and eight points behind in second was Dan Bushell who took full advantage of the blips, as did Stephen Peaston in third just one point behind.Special mention to Dan B who clocked up an impressive 52 correct scores and in PAS, that’s what you’re in it for! John Williamson slipped back to fourth after his worst score of the campaign and Neil Templeton made in Norn Ireland Top Ten (and household) double in 5th. Gary Blackburne has grabbed another £55 pounds in 6th to add to his winnings in Weeks 10 & 11 (and he’s got another fiver for the Best Correct Score). Simon Lindquist dropped one place to 7th and Matt “Stewards Enquiry” Worsfold held on to 8th place. I made my first appearance in the Top Ten at just the right time in 9th and Jazz Sian can take a crumb of consolation finishing in 10th spot after falling 7 places.

Elsewhere, Karl Chartres finally wins some money after seasons of trying by picking up the Spot Prize on 17th, Michelle “it’s a fix” Fernandez will hopefully by me a pressie with her earnings from Spot Prize 27th place and the man who only handed in 2 scoresheets all season justifies his apathy by scooping up the Spot Prize on number 42. Yes, you better read this Damian Duffy and claim your prize, otherwise I’m keeping it! Mr Kim Anthon finishes with the wooden spoon (and you do get one!) 10 points adrift of Ben McK.

Now for the real drama! As you’ve been aware all season, the aim was to finish in the Top 32 to qualify for the Cup competition next year (more on that below). It came down the correct scores in the end as 3 people finished on 278 points. Spare a thought for Danny A and more so, Joanne G who were ousted out by 2 and 1 correct scores respectively by Ahmed Amin, whose 37 correct scores saw him through – phew!

So thank-you all again for making this happen by taking part, getting your cheques in on time and submitting scores. An even bigger thank-you once again to Dave Nicklin who has made the administration here at PAS Towers 4 million percent easier with his IT magic (Dave has been made Honorary Board member and therefore is immune from not qualifying for any PAS competition).

Top 32 people you will be invited in due time to take part in next years PAS Spring season and Cup competition – those of you in the wilderness, I shall be in touch when we get to next September and start all over again although I may open up the Word Cup special to all comers (watch this space). If you finished just outside the 32, it’s not necessarily all over yet as some people may drop out and you’re next in the pecking order to be invited and step up. Better go now – prize winners will have their accounts credited this week or have a cheque put in the post…

Cheers – For-ca PAS!
Pab.

L13 Winter 2005 : Week 13 – Update…

Written by

Well, I may have seen Arsenal’s title hopes finally ended by those horrible, but rather good, West London rent boys and witnessed the normally clinical Jermain Defoe miss a sitter in the last few minutes to deny me £60 from the bookies, BUT any Coventry win, any draw or any QPR win (except 2-0 and 3-1) in Monday nights game will get me a £20 weekly win – luvvly!

2-0 will give to Neil T and 3-1, to his old mucker Olly O.

It’s all to play for in the prize positions as the top three are all currently having their worst week so far!

Bear with me for the final standings on Tuesday as it’s Christmas-parties-a-go-go and it may take me a few days to collate all the info and send it round – but it will be done before we break for Christmas.

As for next season’s PAS, it all kicks off with the Cup competition on weekend 6/7 January – so Top 32, be ready on your return to the office after Chrimbo!

Cheers,
Pab.

No bet of the week from Jazz I’m afraid to report (obviously doesn’t want us to get a slice of money action – typical Sp*rs!)
