You don't get to pick which game

If we get 10, or close to 10, I'll randomise everyone and you'll get a number from 1-10 for the game you get to pick the result for.

Sorry originally wrote it for this weekend then thought we’d maybe need longer to sort it. Not sure what games I copied though

I’ll edit it now. It’ll be starting the next PL round.

Just seen this!
I'm in if it's still possible?

CraigDS · « **Reply #10 on:** October 30, 2021, 12:43:05 pm »

Been a mad week for me so sort of forgot all about this! I'll get on it tomorrow / Monday and we'll get it sorted for next weekend.

5 spots left.

nayia2002 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 1, 2021, 11:45:13 pm »

CraigDS · « **Reply #19 on:** November 3, 2021, 09:46:44 am »

4 more spots left in this, got until tomorrow morning.

Those who are doing it... if there are just 6 do I just randomise it so 6 games get picked and we each get one of those and we do a 6 game acca? Or do the first 4 get a second game each so we do all 10?

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #20 on:** November 3, 2021, 09:55:04 am »

6 would be more achievable.

In all the years I've ran the RPLP competition, I don't recall anyone getting all 10 results correct. Obviously that's 1 person picking 10 results, and this is 10 people picking 1 result, but it's still a huge ask.

I say we go with 1 game each regardless of how many people we have then more can join in following weeks to bring it up to 10.

CraigDS · « **Reply #21 on:** November 3, 2021, 09:55:58 am »

That was my preference too

CraigDS · « **Reply #22 on:** November 4, 2021, 11:13:07 am »

Last hour for anyone who wants in. I'll assign games at 12pm.

CraigDS · « **Reply #23 on:** November 4, 2021, 12:19:54 pm »

OK closed for this week.

First, these are the list of games randomised and the first 6 taken...

United vs City
Chelsea vs Burnley
Palace vs Wolves
Arsenal vs Watford
Brentford vs Norwich
West Ham vs Liverpool

And here are the names of those included randomised with your game (added decision in where they've been made)...

Nayia - United vs City - CITY WIN
Craig - Chelsea vs Burnley - CHELSEA WIN
The G in Gerrard - Palace vs Wolves - DRAW
Barney - Arsenal vs Watford - ARSENAL WIN
Bradders - Brentford vs Norwich - BRENTFORD WIN
Fucking Appalled - West Ham vs Liverpool - LIVERPOOL WIN

If you can get your decision (W/L/D) posted ideally by tonight but tomorrow morning at the latest.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #24 on:** November 4, 2021, 12:48:40 pm »

Arsenal win

No idea what site I'll be using. Will add all the pics on oddschecker to see which is best before placing it. Stake will be £5

El Lobo · « **Reply #25 on:** November 4, 2021, 12:49:28 pm »

FFS gives himself the easy one.

Liverpool to win, obvs

To me, the selections look pretty straightforward, but there's always one fucker that ruins a cert. 2 toughest selections are Palace and us.

Ideally that will be the one that beats the acca

I wouldn't want that Norwich one

Chelsea win for me, and defo got lucky with that

nayia2002 · « **Reply #30 on:** November 4, 2021, 01:08:40 pm »

Absolute Banker for me

Abu Dhabi fc

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #31 on:** November 4, 2021, 03:07:26 pm »

Palace draw.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #32 on:** November 4, 2021, 03:52:59 pm »

Assuming the final pick is as expected, it looks like best odds is on Hills from the regular sites. Slightly better on some mad ones like SpreadEx and VBET

Hills 26.15/1
Betfair 23.78/1
365 23.68/1
Skybet 22.94/1
PP 21.52/1

Of course that could be irrelevant if the pick isn't Brentford to win

bradders1011 · « **Reply #33 on:** November 4, 2021, 08:57:07 pm »

Brentford win please.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #34 on:** November 4, 2021, 08:57:44 pm »

I've got a Brentford-Norwich draw in the Betcher comp but let's play a straight bat here

CraigDS · « **Reply #35 on:** November 4, 2021, 09:02:41 pm »

Everyone has decided then...

Nayia - United vs City - CITY WIN
Craig - Chelsea vs Burnley - CHELSEA WIN
The G in Gerrard - Palace vs Wolves - DRAW
Barney - Arsenal vs Watford - ARSENAL WIN
Bradders - Brentford vs Norwich - BRENTFORD WIN
Fucking Appalled - West Ham vs Liverpool - LIVERPOOL WIN

Bet365 is 24.77 odds plus a 15% bonus so £10 bet returns £284.87

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #37 on:** November 5, 2021, 09:41:15 am »

Forgot about the 365 acca bonus so went with them also.

£5 to return £142.43

The G in Gerrard · « **Reply #38 on:** November 5, 2021, 11:02:40 am »

£5 on returns £125.50 with BF.

Will have to open up a 365 account.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #39 on:** November 5, 2021, 04:12:53 pm »

Is BF Betfair or Betfred? I won't give that Manc my money.
