"The Football Accumulator Thread"

Right, i know some of you guys are not keen football fans so probably not a great thread for you - sorry.

However, for the few of us that enjoy football, i thought this could proove to be fun!

I love doing football Accumulators and very often, well actually never, have i won a bet of one. So to try help me spending all my hard earned cash i thought we could play a game. These are the rules (and even people who know nothing about football can play!)

Each week i will post the fixtures for the premier league on here.
From them you choose 4 games and say how it will go.
Getting 3 out of the 4 correct grants you a point.
Getting all 4 will get you 3 points.

Simple, right! I will of course keep a list on here and update the scored of the people playing.
So let me know if your interested in playing along. Fun game to keep me occupied and may actually help me finally win a bet!

VERY risky call :P

Arsenal v Fulham
Burnley v Tottenham
Chelsea v Wigan
Man Utd v Stoke

Burnley 0 - 5 Tottenham (That's not a typo)
Bale

Everton v Portsmouth
Hull v Liverpool
West Ham v Man City
Wolverhampton v Sunderland
Aston Villa v Blackburn
Bolton v Birmingham

EDIT: Even with a whole 13 point swing (3/4/6), I can only move up one place, which also happens if I get 2 :P

yea i know chris, i might give it a change, just an initial thought lol

A final day flurry:

Wolverhampton DRAW
Man City
Man Utd
Everton

Man Utd 3 - 0 Stoke
Berbatov

Arsenal
Aston Villa DRAW
Bolton DRAW
Tottenham
Chelsea
Liverpool

Well, I'd be lieing if I said I was looking forward to the matches today. I'm actually more worried about this thread :P Will be interesting to see if anyone pulls off a 10 game prediction!

Also want to see if I can hold off Dragonlance after taking him at the post! :P

I've took the liberty of getting the odds had people put on their bets, so here are the odds. Might also help us see who will take some points. These are based on the 10 results (in other words, excluding the Score and Goalscorer section).

(Based on William Hill odds)

Dragonlance
315.79/1

HighflyerVII
536.4/1

Emmie87
135.75/1

Sonic Chris
135.75/1

Butch
166.08/1

Dav2612
131.75/1

McLong
214.26/1

3 minutes in and one of my bets comes in, Gareth Bale!!

Interesting that mine came to the longest odds, however :P

5 goals so far...just 3 for the wrong team...

Yeh I'm not sure wether something's gone wrong there, maybe I didn't clear the slip completely or something. But 200/1 + than everyone else, something can't be right. Oh well, I was thinking of you when Bale scored! Congrats!

Yeah, I thought it was a bit high considering I never really went against the odds in anything (apart from maybe the 5-0 scoreline to Tottenham). Picking the first goalscorer of the match-day was quite impressive imo :P
