Beat The Bookie 2018/19 - Week 35 results & end of season number crunching

paulbaconsarnie

5 out of 70 lifers got a return on their virtual tenner in week 35, the final week of the competition.
Wins for Norwich (2.70), Ipswich (5.00) and Derby (2.25) sees @Nicholas return £305.75 and is this weeks winner.
@Cardinal Sin and @Alex Wright  also returned healthy treble figure returns.
No surprise that nobody managed to overhaul long time leader @Addickted2TheReds who is this seasons winner.
Collectively we would be £3,206.84 up for the season if we laid with a real bookie with 47 lifers showing an actual profit.
100 lifers managed 500 returns from 2952 bets with 43 lifers entering every week.
@Addickted2TheReds also had the biggest single return of £641.25 but others (too many to list) also had some very decent weeks.
Along with @foresthillred they also had most treble figure returns (4).
@Chippycafc (19) pipped @Redmidland (18) with most returns including a 10 week winning streak.
@theeenorth had the most entries (25) without bagging a return.
Not sure what happened to @The Red Robin They started with 4 returns out of 4 and then stopped. Hope they are ok.
I hope some had success with real bookies along the way.
Hopefully be back next season. Let me know any suggestions on how the competition can improve.

Quite incredible to think that if you backed Charlton to win and Palace and Millwall to lose with £10 every week you'd be up £1200 quid!

Thanks for organising PBS.

Can't believe my entry was missed this week - I know I typed one up, but must have messed up pressing the 'post comment' button. No idea who I had anyway.

Mamy thanks for doing this, @paulbaconsarnie, it's an enjoyable part of my Saturday morning routine.

Many thanks pbs. Please carry on next season. Virtual betting is good fun and it is good to have a league table.

Cheers for doing this @paulbaconsarnie
iys been good fun and a salutary lesson about how betting is ultimately bad for you unless you’re a lucky bugger!  Funny I’ve come 11th in the prediction league but virtually last in this. Ho hum

Congratulations to the surrey fan. 

Takes about half hour on a Tuesday to work out bets and screenshot etc.
and about an hour over the weekend populating selections so it’s easy to strike a line through losing bets.
am only using excel on iPad, which has limitations but does the job.
most, if not all mistakes are me missing someones post, copying it wrong or having a mindf+ck and getting a result wrong.

Thank you very much for running this, it must take a lot of work! Much appreciated

I have had a great season betting wise but here I must have not had a return for about the last 20 thought it was going to be easy early on. Onto next year I shall be  involved If its not too much trouble and it runs again.

Well impressed someone got 10 in a row, hope he backed it in some way or another!

Redmidland

Great work, @paulbaconsarnie. Sadly, my early season form dipped, but at least I'm not bankrupt. Congratulations to @Addickted2TheReds.

I followed it for a couple of months and doubled my money with a bit of hedging on MNF.
