I have decided to go the other way and predict defeat for my team most games.
Partly for reverse psychology reasons and partly to provide the compensation of at least one point in this comp assuming they do lose.
If they actually win or draw then its all good anyway.

Perverse logic I know .

^^ For some stupid reason, I made matters worse for my own team, put em down for a win, & played my joker.

It will be sods law as soon as you tip them not to win they will win easily just to really make life difficult

^ Best if you put Leeds down for a loss, and if they win you'll still be happy.
I've been doing that with Burnley for a few years.

^^ I'm really trying to be positive & hold my nerve, maybe split the difference & a draw. I should focus on the other 9 matches, just one correct score last week, & nine epic fails.

I'm as good at this as I am at betting on the games at the moment

Five matches in and I've got my first joker, flying high, thinking we're only halfway through, going to get a big score this week.
Next five matches : wrong-wrong-wrong-wrong-wrong

bloody typical

Top of the table !! :cool:Not sure how that happened, but I might as well shout about it before I start sliding down the bottom. It's been achieved with no help from my team, that's for sure. A big up to HLO :)not far adrift in 3rd spot, & doing something I've failed to do so far, a correct score for a Leeds game, fair play fella.
Best crack on with the next round, & try to fluke a few more results.

^^ Boomer, you've been making steady progress for several weeks. After a look back through my notebook (yes it's a notebook with pencil crayons so far this season - very high tech ), you've always scored at least six or seven in each round and you've been the top scorer in a previous round. You were actually the joint highest scorer for this double round according to the combined scores.

Whether by fluke or not, whatever works, right?

^^ Obviously I was downplaying my tremendous football knowledge, But this prediction game relies heavily on lucky, no which is why I'm not a gambler. Unless you include interacting with Babeshows, which is becoming a bit of a lottery these days.
