F50 - Week 08

[Archer]

FORECAST FIFTIES

Note: Week still in progress (bonus game)



Another tough one, starting with a real mixed-bag in the Rome derby, but credit to Tingers for getting that spot-on (6). Only four people had the stalemate down in Bournemouth, with three people plumping for the 1-1 up in Sunderland and trebling up. EVERYONE had Bristol City to overcome Oxford at home - and boy oh boy - weren't we all very, very wrong? Some big points lost as four of us Did-A-Spurs™. Gabz missed the week, and inexplicably Exxy didn't put any wagers on. Had a look and he didn't get any right anyway so I just zero'd it.

The defending champion goes back top, and big-up to Salford for getting the Emirates v Etihad BANG ON for 15.

Points have been assigned in the bonus game for those clubs who have played two matches since your prediction.

To come are:

Sporting CP v Moreirense (Monday) - @RefereeX​

I started to just apply 2 to all of them, a rule I think we've discussed in the past, but it felt genuinely harsh so just zero'd.

Was so busy all week I didn't actually spot it until this morning (plus this forum's always bloody offline)

Surely there has to be a proper forfeit here?

 

[Archer]

His forfeit is fcuk all points

 

[Archer]

Sporting won last night. RefX gets +5 bonus pts.

 

[RefereeX]

If it is decided that that is fair, I don’t mind forfeiting my bonus points, as with the scores I predicted, I would have been guaranteed to lose at least 3 points regardless of how I did the wagers

 

[Archer]

Nah, you can have the bonus points.

I don’t feel it’s fair to punish someone for an honest error, the “punishment” is you scored 0 from the matches as if you didn’t enter.

Case closed
