It's the blue ointment that does that.

What has macclad04 got 100 points for just one game. I thought the maximum was 90.

Looks like a successful day 1 for many.

Has anybody noticed that our mini league has its own forum? Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and hit the HHAD forum tit.

he got his bonus (currently 10pts) cos his bonus chip has already been used, successfully

the maximum therefore can be 110pts

Good Lord, I'm being persued by a pack of rabid dogs that are within pouncing distance, led by someone in a cashmire top coat with red satin lining!

So it's a matter of who has the most stamina. Pedigree Chum's on the menu.

I think, I got -30 today. At least the one that gave me points, made my day.

Snap - dropped 3 places

Yes, I've been playing like a drowning rat as well. What worked early on is no longer working.

I'll need to do some voodoo ritual this coming week.

Guess continues to be consistent, which is the secret. Not big scores, just medium but continuing to climb.

Buksi and Bradders just blew into the high rent district as well, good job! Pete

Not to worry Pete, you're probably like me - holding back for bets before today's matches

Well, anybody betting on my predictions this week would have been on a serious loser

I think I have had my share of luck but also I have resisted the the odd gamble.
Much of the success is due to holding on the banker bonus and using my banker chip on the right match. Forget about the x 2 vs x 3 issue. I never put my banker on a draw or an away win. There is almost always one match that stands out as being a home win. This week it was Liverpool. Arsenal and Manure were playing each other so that was no good. Chelsea were away which left Liverpool as the best bet. I then check their attacking and defensive records at home and place my score at the mean. So quite a few times I have got 60 points or 30 and early on at least one 90 pointer.

I had a look at other peoples predictions who had score badly just to see why and I found that some had gone for very unreliable teams such as Aston Villa to win at home. Then you have the Manure fans betting on Manure winning at Emirates. The odds must have been in favor of Arsenal.

Outside of the top four teams the rest are a lottery. Spurs had a bad start and in the last three weeks have performed better than any of the top four including their good show in Europe. How can you predict that. West Ham and Hull have done the opposite and will probably bee fighting relegation by the end of the season along with Stoke and West Brom.

A general rule though is that the home team has an advantage and apparently the most common score is 2 - 1.

Now I have written this I will probably get minus points for the next two months.

Aston Villa to win at home

Sounds familiar

I actually thought they were a dead cert - especially playing Middlesbrough.
