Do you know what, for once I wasn't being sarcastic...noticed lately that a lot of the blokes on here are quite good at writing on the sly, better than many of the other boards I visit on 606 anyway...lot of colourful pictures being painted to make a point. And then there's DaiSwan
Well whattaya know, Luke Skywalker (in the form of Mustyfrog) showed up and defrosted Outsider, Falseteeth, and the Ronnie O'Sullivan of punters club Shellbelle. Welcome back ya great galoots! This weeks leading punter, as if to spite me (for my bestowing of the title "The Real Dilli of the week" last time out) is our venerable mod Swanselona (+£15.50). Runner-up is the gummeister him/herself Falseteeth (+£11.10)....well done, that's how to make a come back! (take note all of our alter-ego donning embittered ex-posters). The only 2 others in the black were Mikraswan (£10) and will.i.am (£3.90). The rest of you need to pull your socks up, especially myself (I wil finish above you Mikra! Know this.) but "The Martin Atkinson" of the week award goes to Mustyfrog for crashing to the bottom of the table on his comeback...narrowly beating Daimungeezer to this most dubious of honours. (Billybjack missed the round and was fined £20 accordingly) AFTER ROUND 22 Code: [table="width: 400, class: grid, align: left"] [tr="bgcolor:#ccc"][td]Pos[/td][td]Name[/td][td]Balance[/td][/tr] [tr][td]1[/td][td]Shellbelle[/td][td][COLOR="black"]+ £133.10[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]2[/td][td]DaiSwanHuwsMate[/td][td][COLOR="black"]+ £26.30[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]3[/td][td]Neveroffsideref[/td][td][COLOR="black"]+ £15.38[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]4[/td][td]Glamexile[/td][td][COLOR="red"]- £4.60[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]5[/td][td]brb[/td][td][COLOR="red"]- £35[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]6[/td][td]Beppeswan[/td][td][COLOR="red"]- £46[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]7[/td][td]Daimungeezer[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£52.10[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]8[/td][td]will.i.am[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£66.70[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]9[/td][td]Simply_Posh[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£72.60[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]10[/td][td]Falseteeth[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£100.70[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]11[/td][td]Billybjack[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£153.60[/COLOR](missed last week)[/td][/tr] [tr][td]12[/td][td]Mikraswan[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£163.90[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]13[/td][td]Terrorwit[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£167.40[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]14[/td][td]Swanselona[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£172.13[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]15[/td][td]outsider[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£187.90[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [tr][td]16[/td][td]Mustyfrog[/td][td][COLOR="red"]-£196[/COLOR][/td][/tr] [/table]
I'm returning my diploma!!! On second thoughts, anyone care to buy it? It's signed by the moustachioed soothsayer himself. On third thoughts, I'll just email everyone a scan and we can all finish joint last (first?!)
That "real dilli of the week thing" has turned my fortunes right around, and looking forward to see how I do this week after 3 correct ones
The "haps"; Swanselona (+28.80), Neveroffsideref (+£20.70), Will.i.am (+ £20.70), Mikraswan (+ £11.30), Brb (+ £5.30) and the indefatigable DaiSwan (+ £5). The "craps"; Terrorwit (yes, I am talking about myself in the 3rd person...all the best people do. - £30), Simply_Posh (- £17.10), Beppeswan (- £9) and Glamexile (- £6.20). Non-runners; Shellbelle, Falseteeth, Outsider, Mustyfrog and BillyB...all fined £20, now get out of my sight. At this point I imagine Daimungeezer is sitting there thinking; 'Where's my name? Surely I'm a hap...' Well Dai, you registered the smallest ever profit in Punters Club...a miserly £0.20p. Absolutely pathetic! You should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself. Despite my distraction tactic above there really is no getting away from it anymore I am the minge of the week, perhaps the "billposter's bucket" of the entire shebang. Once again I lose £30. I am going down in flames and will certainly finish bottom now but by Christ I'm taking Cardiff with me! By the way, what a battle for 2nd place...the crazed pantomime villain that is Dai up against the "Paul Ince" of punters club Neveroffsideref, neither giving an inch. Dai was on the verge of losing the £30 too but pulled out a spawny draw from his arse....the boos were deafening, but this is a man that truly thrives on it. Do you want to know a secret? I hope 'the stopped clock' wins this battle I really do. Other highlights include Swanselona's meteoric rise since his return and Brb's "tactics", taking the safe options to try and keep in contention...you just know a massive punt is on the cards soon though in a desperate attempt for 2nd place.

you are right about the tactics, I have learned that my usual long shots don't work in the Prem League. As for Simply Posh...appears she's struggling a little dare i say what is it now -£89.70...let the supermod challenge begin

Just like Ming the Merciless in 'Flash Gordon' I have blasted Billybjack off into space like the cheap used up floozy he is. BillyB's replacement is another of Musty's card school from down the club (haven't made my mind up whether they are a bunch of old women with ***s hanging out of their mouths or Hell's Angels) Marsupial...which is a splendid name I think we can all agree. Marsupial starts off on -£98 (the average) and makes a small debut loss of £6. There is no minge of the week this round as frankly with; Neveroffsideref, Beppeswan, Falseteeth, Outsider and myself each losing £30 there is more minge on show here than the average episode of 'Housewives of (insert American city here)'. Very poor show all round. Other abject losers include; will.i.am (-£17.50), Daimungeezer (-£12), DaiSwan (-£9), Shellbelle (-£9), MikraSwan (£8.50) and Marsupial. This week's star performers were; Glamexile (£15.50), Mustyfrog and Swanselona (both £15), Simply_Posh (£6) and brb (£3.50).. Who's going to win the arm wrestle between the wonderful DaiSwan and the driven Neveroffsideref? Has Shellbelle begun the long descent? Will brb's cynical tactics pay off? Who will prove comprehensively that they are top mod? Will Daimungeezer be joining me shortly at the foot of the table? Can one of the mid table also rans emerge, Phoenix like? and will Cardiff City win another game this season with the curse of Terrorwit upon them? The answer to all these questions and more next time on...'Punters Club'!

Depends on where you started That £0.20p you won could yet prove crucial in your tussle with Beppe and will.
Think of Round 26 as like dark matter. We strongly suspect it's out there but can only hope that one day it's secrets will be revealed to us. Hello and welcome back to the place where all the big punts hang out...Punters Club! ...and speaking of big punts...can we talk about brb? brb who has fought his natural instincts for weeks, nay months, maintaining discipline, carefully...meticulously...picking a safe path through so much exciting, pulsating, throbbing, hardcore Prem action (football porn that it is)...keeping his head whilst those around him...oh you get the picture! He'd dragged himself back into the mix at the top of our leader board...£0.70p away from the black, within striking distance of the 3 'elite' punters and a possible title. Then suddenly, without warning, he puts the lot on the long shots! He must have thought he had smelt blood (ok, I may have goaded him into it a little) but it must have been the smell of desperation as he spectacularly loses £30, gets trampled on by Glamexile and secures himself the prestigious title of 'Disco Fanny of the week' in the process. I haven't laughed so much since Alan Curtis secured us the League Cup! In other news; Shellbelle could be on the verge of an epic 'bottling' of Cardiff City proportions. DaiSwan is rubbing his chubby little ****ing spanners together at the prospect. I would love it if Dai won! Would pay good money to see his reaction Neveroffsidereff needs to pick himself up and go again. Mustyfrog is this weeks top performer and needs to track down a Marsupial gone walkabout and The curse of Terrorwit is bearing lush, heavy, juicy (I wanna say tits...frankly, I've got the horn) fruit indeed. 4 - nil! At home!! How'd you like them apples (I know they read ) The 'deserving poor' - Mustyfrog (+£26.30), Outsider (+£18.80), will.i.am (+£14.70), Daimungeezer (+£5), Beppeswan (+£5) and Falseteeth (+£1.20). The 'undeserving poor' - Terrorwit (-£30), brb (-£30), Swanselona (-£30), Simply Posh (-£18.30), Neveroffsidereff (-£15), Mikraswan (-£13.80), Shellbelle (-£10), Daiswan (-£2.50) and Glamexile (-£1.20).
