oh yeah
do you not lose that then if any of your others fail?
actually, that's how an accumulator works and you said it wasn't an accumulator.
congratulations
WEEK TEN
GreyDesk Posted Mar 6, 2004
It was four separate bets 
I mean no one would do an accumulator on the odds for those four scorecasts. The odds there are over 70million to one against

creachy Posted Mar 6, 2004
i think i worked out a 69million profit if they all came in together on an accumulator

GreyDesk Posted Mar 6, 2004
Cheers Ormy 
creachy, you're wrong about the accumulator coming in at 69 million. You've forgotten that you place not just the returns but the stake money as well. Therefore the calculation comes out as 121 x 31 x 36 x 551 = 74,404,836

mindboggling
we shall have to keep an eye on the scores then, hopefully you won't be kicking yourself at the end of it cos that'll mean you got 4 Full Houses, and we can't have that.

Sorry, am I imagining things, or has a *penalty* been given *against* Yoonited at *Old Trafford*
It must have been pretty blatant!

Secretly Not Here Any More Posted Mar 6, 2004
Yeah, it was. Wes Brown showing that "International" and "class" are two words with no meaning to him.

Three games down and one player here is on for an absolute stormer this week
They've racked up 13 points out of a possible 15

Ormondroyd Posted Mar 7, 2004
But he's predicted an Ashley Ward goal and a Blades clean sheet for the last game! He can't be right about that... can he?
WEEK TEN - Results
GreyDesk Posted Mar 7, 2004
This week has been a very successful week all round. So well done folks, give yourselves a big pat on the back for predicting that van Nistelrooy and Henry would score a goal or two. Though of course it was predicting that Malbranque would score that paid dividends for me
I don't know if anyone had noticed, but over the last few weeks there has been a player gently rising up through the rankings. Knocking off some pretty impressive W/L/D scores, OK not so hot on the scorers and the other bits and bobs, but solid on the main event. Well, it's come good...
Stand up Owlatron, you're the new leader of the pack 
Also I should give a mention to McKay who came oh so close to three full houses this week; hitting 13 points out of the first 3 games - impressive stuff
-----------------
The Results:
Man Utd 2-1 Fulham (MALBRANQUE, van Nistelrooy)
Portsmouth 1-5 Arsenal (HENRY, Ljungberg, Toure, Sheringham)
Millwall 0-0 Tranmere (--)
Sunderland 1-0 Sheffield United (SMITH)
