No League 2 Matches this week - Anyone for a bit of fun in the FA Cup?

If anyone fancies making up a competition for Saturday, feel free. If any other forum is having one please add the link below.

In the absence of any competitions we could go for something simple, for example:

Pick any 6 matches and predict the score. If you get the correct result but not the correct score you get 5 points. If you get the home score correct you score the number of home goals. If you get the away score correct you score the number of away goals. You can pick one Banker and if you get the correct score your points are doubled.

So if you had forecast 3-1 and the result was 3-2 you would have scored 5 for the correct result + 3 for the correct home score (ie 8). Had you forecast 3-2 you would have scored 5 for the correct result + 3 for the correct home score + 2 for the correct away score (ie 10). If that game was your selected Banker the total would be doubled (ie 20).

 

im up for giving this a go ron, just need to think about which games to choose...

 

OK. Well I'll have a go then so that's 2 of us.

 

You can count me in Ron

 

Go on then, I'll give it a whirl. Can't be any worse than the bets I've putting on.

 

Right. Just pick any 6 teams and predict the score before the kick off and post below.

 

ok, here goes! no idea how good these will be

Bonham wood 1-3 Carlisle - banker
bury 0-2 Cambridge
Lincoln 0-1 Plymouth
Rotherham 2-1 Bradford
Wycombe 1-1 crewe (which leads me to a question - what are we doing about replays in this game?)

lets throw an upset in there as well

Hednesford Town 2-1 crawley

 

This is tricky but here goes;

Brentford 5-1 Staines
Gillingham 4-2 Brackley
St Albans 2-1 Mansfield
Stourbridge 2-3 Bigglesworth - Banker
Wrexham 1-0 Alfreton
Macclesfield 2-4 Swindon


Ron didn't we do a betting competion last yeat as well? I can't exactly remember what or how. Let me search through the previous threads.

 

Yeah we did a betting comp like our league one - I found round 3 on thread page number 22. I think someone did an accumulator on one round and hammered us all.

 

yes I vaguely recall that - didn't someone predict every winner in one round on accumulator or something?

 

Here is the link to the final of that competition and in the thread starter there is a link to every round

And here is the bet

 

That was the one - any chance we could give that a go as well Ron, I really loving these betting games (not that I'm any good) but it's great fun.

 

If I've still got the system I used to administer it I'll set it up.

 

Ron - its people like you that get me through my days at work.

 

Carlisle to win 3-0,
Mansfield to win 2-0
Accrington to draw 1-1
Brentford to win 6-1
Leyton Orient to win 5-0
Northampton to win 2-1
