That'll be me then. Pricey i did take notice of your bet of 149 goals Unfortunately lad, you were so far out, you could have owed us money. The actual total was 111 goals leaving you 38 goals out. £1,000 deducted from £30,000 for every goal you were out. So you won nowt

A little bit of research wouldn't go amiss. The average number of goals per week was 120 goals before last weekend. (I guess someone else checked this out) Its only a bit of fun Pricey. ;D Worth bunging it on a correct score like 4-1 or something. All or nothing

i know its only a bit of fun but to enter a competition for a whole season every week never missing a bet is fine but then for it at the end to go mad on a bet that you need to research is very annoying!!!
I dont think the bet was wrong just the stakes involved 30k!!! - Welshshrew had won the thing already but the minor placeing were still being contested - im just moaning like normal!!!
And yeah correct score would be a good idea but frakely i dont care any more!
Anyway you should take feedback on board it helps you to improve so my boss always says!!!

BTW the £30,000 prize and closest number of goals scored was Pilch's idea. ;D

the monthly specials were simply to give anyone a chance
had we not had them then welshshrew would have been vitually uncatchable and interest would have dropped off
perhaps next year the comp will be a bit tighter

But if Gaz has been the best this year - which he has then who cares - there will still prizes for 2nd and 3rd and people who had been doing well were still up for them - its just for someone to make 9-10k over the whole season and then get it completley wiped out - by not loseing a bet mearley a guess is harsh - and its no punishment on a the run away leader anyway as we saw! Dont call it the betting leage - just the guessing league Monthley sps are fine but never at 30K!!!!

Have to agree with Pricey (even though I came out smelling of Roses). Monthly specials are great, but think that 30K on a guess was too much. Please don't fine me for speaking out of turn......

there may be only 1 main prize for the winner, 2nd & 3rd may get a little something (depends on william hill) like i said gareth should be the only one annoyed at the special, but then again he was closest

Thats the point if i had GUESSED 111 goals i would have been ok - but i would not have deserved to be winning or win the BETTING leage But its called Betting league i thought You have both sold out!!!!

Yeah but its forced on you and with stakes like that it can change the game a lot - just look at some of the people who - lets be fair have been crap to average this year- who made like 15-20K on the strength of that!!
Its just i thought with a week to go there is a normally a chance for almost anyone to sneek the win by some fluke - but due to the margins of that 30k "bet" unless you made 15-20k out of it you have no chance of a bet winning you title this year

Also, a lot of people have got a lot of money to spend, which means a massively increases chance of me not finishing top...... All 'new' money may I add. Ruddy underclasses rising up and trying to take over........

Yeah but it's my loyalty to the Town that left me on 45p Surely that deserves some sort of reward BTW congrats on the above post, I think it's the first one of yours I've seen without a spelling mistake in it!

Lets be honest - 149 was cr@p, even as a guess. Even the weekly bets need a bit of research, like looking at other results and tables.

Total 'Goals For' in the league.
divided by
Number of games played (Premiership was 36)
Do that for each League and add together

I remember Pilch doing bets on more or less than 30 goals in a division before, and it was usually close, so I used that as the average. I just forgot to knock a few off because of less games in the Premier
