TDYER63 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I have been in a competition at work where I need to guess the results of the EPL games over this season and by some small miracle , and with one game to go, I find myself in a position where I could win a cash prize 😁 Being a wee middle aged wummin who has ridden her luck to get this far , I have decided to seek your help to get me over the line and in return I will pledge 50% of any winnings to TASA. Its a bit of an ask, I am in 7th position out of 43, and I need to get into 4th position to have a hope of winning anything, but it can be done. Below are this weeks games and the points you get for each result. I need you tell me if each game will be a home win, a draw or an away win. As you can see you are awarded more points for a more unlikely result. I may need to take a bit of a gamble on some games as I am 10 points behind the person in 4 th position .I would appreciate any help you can offer. I will go with the most popular choice for each match. I need the choices by Sunday Morning. I know there is probably an easier way of collating the info but I am not very technical. As an added in incentive I will make a small donation to TASA no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huddersfield Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 My opinion here is worth exactly what you are paying me for it, but if I was to pull one game out of there that might buck the odds it would be Arsenal-Watford. Arsenal aren’t playing for anything, Watford could stay up if they get a point & Villa lose at West Ham. So you’d expect Watford to go at them hell for leather especially early on. Of the others, I don’t see much that will defy the odds too much. Southampton maybe a draw based on nothing more than I was down there for their last game against us a year back & with nothing to play for they looked bored. However, if I knew how to beat bookies then I’d probably have a bigger house so hey-ho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 One surprise could be Wolves to beat Chelsea ? Also a few draws. 1,2,x,x,1,x,2,x,1,x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks for everyone’s responses. @Farcity, your results are exactly the same as mine , that in itself deserves a prize 🙂 Its good to get some info on potential unexpected results and is exactly the kind of info I am looking for, my strategy up till now has simply been to look at the teams’ respective league positions and their last 4 results. I was brave during the week though and took a West Ham /Man U draw which helped quite a bit. How’s about getting some more responses on here, you cant avoid the EPL there must be more posters out there with a view on the possible results .

I work for a company that covers the whole of the UK, but the competition started years ago when we were owned by an overseas company , and the EPL was chosen by them. I doubt it was a slur on the SPL, just the simple fact more people are familiar with the EPL. The fact that it is EPL games is not really that important, its a bit of fun and the chance for TASA get a few quid if I get enough points in this final game. It would be good if you could contribute, but no sweat if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch or pay any attention to the EPL so my contribution to predictions on scorelines from it wouldn't be worth the message board space they took up. All the best though and hope the charity does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best though and hope the charity does well. 👍 Ok I have chosen the tips. Burnley, Leicester, Man City , Everton and West Ham matches were all but unanimous so going with the clear cut choices there. Small divide on the Crystal Palace / Spurs but I am going with the majority , Spurs. Southampton / Sheffield split down the middle . Was tempted to go for a draw but the few extra points aren’t worth the gamble as Southamptons recent form has been good. Chelsea /Wolves is split down the middle so I am taking a punt on a draw. I was tempted to go for a draw at Arsenal but sticking with a home win because the extra points for a draw arent attractive enough. Finally , I am putting all my money on black AND red and going for a draw at Newcastle. So ......1x1x11x21x 🤞🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDYER63 Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just to be upfront about my final placing I have sent @Flure a screenshot of the table as it sits just now. It has my name on it else I would post it on here. I know Flure off this board. I will also send him the final placings after todays results are updated. He will confirm on here. I know you all trust that I am an honest upstanding citizen, or you perhaps dont give a fook, but since I have offered 50% of any winnings to TASA i think it is only right I provide evidence of my final position.

Rolling hIlls Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Hi pal. I would have been no use to you. Never watch English Football and only had about 3 coupons up and last 2 years. On the other hand I have a bet with Kumnio which he will donate to your chosen charity. I will throw in the iron x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact there are only 2 women in the whole competition , both of us know nothing about the EPL, and we are both in the top 10. Mental.
