PS any attempt to predict Celtic will win the league will be treated with the contempt it deserves.

A reverse langering comp (the winner being whoever digs out the most amusingly terrible prediction from another poster's history) could also be fun.

I want to see the GOAT premier league comedy moments draft happen too. Also zaids and I are currently working on a TOP SECRET PROJECT that was the brainchild of a certain round-headed elite poster, and that will be great fun if we ever get round to finishing it!

Not like me to jump in head first.

LO - someone already picked out what was kev's (I think) 20. Leicester though

Just searched my username for Adkins and I'm in calling him crap before we even appointed him

Drove past two houses with giant leicester flags and scarfs in the Windows here in the sunny northwest #ithasbegun

i tried to get val to poast his top 20 managers list a cpl years ago in preparation for this langering competition, so that we could bump it and lol that brent/moyes/bob/laudrup/AVB etc were on there. could only squeeze three names out of him in the end, and boy did he go out on a limb.

i was saying money > all so he assigned my side three money blokes and had his pick.

think my cash boys got the better of this - we picked up: 1 CL, 2 loligas, 2 lique uhhs

them lot won: 1 blitw, 2 buyernligas, 1 in sacked-in-december-for-being-17th trophy

How much does Fanny owe everyone? 500 to me for Liverpool bet.

Can we sidebet on when/if fanny posts again?

ill have $20 on him poasting/pming someone before 1st june @ evens

He's still managing his team, he made two transfers last week so obviously has internet access. Happy to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

He owes me $500 (unless he somehow makes up over 150 points in the final week of the season)..

How many points did you guys make?
This thread has a league? How many points for the winner?

leader has 2307 and is in the top 500 ITW, I'm in 11th with 2134 (which is a top 2% ITW score) so the quality has been super high this year

are the two heavyweights of hope both in the top 100000 yet?

i remember they were both struggling with that a few months ago

I call for $20 if I can add the caveat that at least 5% of bets have to be paid off by that date.

TP is just outside the top 10k now, fanny is just outside the top 200k

solving the game isn't enough, you also need momentum

cant do that, i think i lose on your caveat too often. dont think he'll pay off bits n bobs, it'll all be in one go and that might take a week or two to sort cos its not pennies.

shows up on like the 26th may, everything gets paid at once on 11th june is my superguess (tbl, to be langered)

Speaking of betting/gambling etc...

Idea I had with friends in Australia, might ask for interest here and then run it if others are keen.

Euro 2016 draft

Draft players to get SCOREPOINTS!!!

8 teams of 8 players (64 players, 24 teams, so roughly 2.6 players per team)

5 points a non-pen goal
3 points an assist
2 points for a scored penalty (excluding shootouts)
- 1 point for a yellow card
- 5 points for a red card

3 points for a scored goal in a shootout
-10 points for a missed goal in a shootout

8 people to enter, so the winner gains 6 units and the runner up 2 units.

Looking at running the draft element of this starting in the next few days. If a player you draft misses out on their 23 man squad, you are given one of a list of reserve players set assigned for such a calamity as someone missing the plane.

Draft is ABBBABAB format, so the number one pick will pick last in rounds 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8, and first in rounds 1, 5 and 7.

If anyone is keen, let me know. Im keen to run this something like $50AUD a pop, ($36.62USD) but will play for less if there is insufficient demand at that price point.

Will accept posting, but no payment, as a push if you like.

So

fanerio goes missing = Ash wins
fanerio posts, 0-4.9% payment = push
fanerio posts and pays 5%+ = baids wins

I'm on course for my 3rd top 10k and 6th top 25k finish in 9 seasons. The man who claims to have solved the game is outside the top 200k.

alright

define 5% now tho rather than have a big argument when he pays off $71.44 pre-june

I was top 50 in itks forever then forgot to do it again week or two in a row recently

I have literally no idea how much was on this total, I have a vague recollection of $2k, but could be wrong.

However, Im happy to set the line at $99.99 if you are.

Plot twist: human halo and fanerio have run off together in this year's unlikeliest romance.

Does fanny make any bets on other sports?
