sorry what loleverton bets is the ostrich trying to make

Ostrich I will take $50 on every team as per those handicaps except for man united, that's $900 worth.

QTB

PBAL getting stuck in

that's the spirit!

BOOKED

That's one way to make the season interesting

gonna be a rough year in the pbal household

how does the fantasy footie work? is it one where you can change your team every week or - the correct - old skool way where you pick your team of 11 and get 3 transfers in January?

i dunno. i dont do fantasy football, dont think the sport really lends itself to fantasy cos there's so few important statistical categories

im running fantasy eggball leagues

stayed here which was decent enough and pretty good location

edit; seems to be a bit pricier that what I remember - altho don't think any of the reasonable central hotels we looked at were any cheaper

d'oh - completely mis-read post

Thanks for the info guys. Saul that place looks about exactly the level I'm looking for will def have a 2nd look, thanks.

I do

There's a couple options.

1) there is season long fantasy - you pick a team get a transfer ever week and two wild cards per year. You're largely locked into the team you initially pick though

2) there is also daily fantasy which you use a salary to draft players just for that game slate. You can then enter said lineup into contests for dollars. There's a decent amount of money in daily fantasy and you can play for small stakes entering contests for as little as 1$ or high stakes playing head to head matches for 5k.

For daily fantasy there's a bunch of different sites that you can play on and all have different scoring systems. I have some basic info on soccerdfs.com if you are interested and plan on updating it a bit when I have some free time this summer.

The "lay lost ostrich gambit" in full effect

what PBAL doesn't realise is that last season was simply stage one of my elaborate plot to hustle the pants off him.

Anyways, I'm a known spreadsheet bore so here's a link to a sheet that will track performance vs handicap throughout the season.

Love it

my only concern is martinez getting sacked too soon

if he lasts the whole season id be amazed not to win 15+/18

you do realise we now have Deulofeu, right

Pbal's move is either completely insane or brilliant. Either way, it's really awesome

You linked the wrong spreadsheet. 12X looking good though!

Nice PBAL, nice

Ya def looking forward to vicariously sweating that bet.

hmmm, yes I did. And now I've lost the bloody handicap sheet.

I'd favour LO in that bet. Looking at the pinny lines, Utd u77.5 Ars o76.5 and Eve o53.5 are what jump out at me. Utd in particular looks a great bet

.

?? Obv I think PBAL is correct to swerve Utd but I also think the line on Everton is too low which is what LO has based his handicaps against the rest of the field on.
