man I've always struggled thinking in odds, I like percentages, everything just easier that way for me. For example

--chance that Chelsea will ship title: still pretty high, but 70% too much?
--chance that united will end t4: ugh by now it's maybe even 50% barf
--three-bet parlay that (1) the packers are going to play the (2) patriots in the superb owl and consequently (3) I'll ****ing kill myself: this feels like 20%, must be lower but that's how it feels
--no offense stu but chance Stu's next seven posts will contain total >ten ideas that flatter spurs: 81%
--calculation that goes through my head whenever Nic goes full agitplop : "NOW WITH 99% LESS FANERIO"

Not sure how Chelsea will cope without Mikels 0.016 goals a game.

Who is likely to be missing for Utd next week? At the moment we have Mane out and doubts over coutinho, Matip, sturridge and Hendo. Pretty brutal timing.

Fwiw I think all of the guys you've mentioned there will be fit. Three of the four are back in training.

Bailly and Shaw I think.

Patriots the best team by far in the NFL, mediocre giants team have to go to the Packers then potentially play the pats in the SB. Based on past performance = 100%.

yay for Superbowl Squares only being a month away!

Anyways, all 21 entries appear to be paid up for our most recent degenerate gambling opportunity so let's go ahead and conduct the RANDOM DRAW for the inaugral 2+2 FA Cup Sweepstakes!

I need 2 Helpful Volunteers (who aren't involved in the sweep) to perform the randomisation. We'll be using random.org for this process.

Helpful Volunteer #1 will go to random.org and paste the following list of entrants into the box. He will then press the Randomise button and copy/paste the results into this thread complete with timestamp.

Here's the list of entrants for Helpful Volunteer #1:
LostOstrich
Cinarocket
MathKev
mw828
joejoe1337
kingweed
vruuuuk
HH
mic_check12
sl8a
martymc1
Tall Paul
Zaids
kevin21
$Betpot$
Fatal Checkraise
S.K.
ChrisV
LFC_USA
lukethefluke
RoyalBlue

Helpful Volunteer #2 will also go to random.org , and perform the exact same process with the following list of teams. Simply paste the list into the box, randomise it and post the resulting list in this thread complete with timestamp.

Here's the list of teams:
Chelsea
Liverpool
Manchester City
Arsenal
Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United
Everton
West Bromwich Albion
Bournemouth
Southampton
Burnley
Watford
West Ham United
Leicester City
Stoke City
Middlesbrough
Crystal Palace
Sunderland
Hull City
Swansea City
Any Non-PL Team

Thanks in advance to both Helpful Volunteers! If we get more than one list posted for either option due to two people stepping up simultaneously, the first one posted itt will be used. Once the draw is complete I shall transfer the info to the spreadsheet, and the fun can begin!

go go go

Sent the money to mic_check - hopefully didn't come last. In for squares if LO (or anyone) organises - haven't followed any NFL this year; been super busy. Getting spuds would be nice as a deep run might derail their potential title charge - would take a year off from the thread if they finished above us.
