So as Zinman points out after a recent run of decent scores it all was back to usual this week,
From 11 Predictions just 47 points were scored, For Zinman's benefit that's just 4.2727 recurring for each player,
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it
Although credit where credit is due with the help of a flukey BB on Sunday helped him to top the table this week turning his usual mediocre weeks into a winning one as without his fluke he would have been well mediocre again,
Once again this guy just cant stop being outside the top points scorer even when he seems to have a bad week
Our Leader DD came home in 2nd with 11 points after managing only 3 correct results, yet one of those was a correct Gamabll result if that had gone wrong he would have been down in the minus column
Wow small margins eh ?
After a awful run of form some good news for the Joker at last, along with Derby they both managed double figure scores Joker was dependant on his Gamball where as Derby was clearly the better Predictor with 3 correct scores but both managed the same score and came in with ten points.
WorldClass had a decent week and came in 5th place with 9 points and if it wasn't for such a bad Sunday could off topped the table as his position on Saturday was very strong
Now the best of the rest, from 6th down i'm afraid it isn't pretty reading,
In 6th place was BBB with 4 correct results and just two points,
In 7th and 8th with just a single point was Matt who just can't seem to buy a good score Unless you try sending a blank cheque to our table director Mr Bomber and recent prediction league winner Twerton is still miles of the pace with his continuing struggles and also scores a single point,
Then the Minus men oh and women
St Charles who started the season so brightly seems to be on the slippery slope and with just 3 correct results scores -1 Sanjay struggled to -2 he also has just 3 correct results, and then there's Amelia
A bad week all round i'm afraid dear, with just two correct results and everything else just totally wrong you scored the same as your ladies Football team but with a big fat minus in front of it ............
For those of you who don't know how Huddersfield ladies got on here's a clue ......
Amelias score was -7 ............
Till next week guys
Beefy
Mr Consistency was back this week as DD over his blip from last week to extend his lead at the top to 33 points, courtesy of his 8th success from 14 this season with the dreaded Gamball, Sanjay, who tends not to play them remains in 2nd although his points advantage has been cut ever so slightly.
Reclaiming 3rd spot and climbing 2 places after a few weeks out of the top 3 is Derby who has a solitary point advantage over St Charles and it seems these 2 continue to be nip and tuck as they have been all season.
BBB despite gaining ground on the top 3 slips a place to 5th and is now firmly in the sights of the leagues in form predictor in the shape of Zinman who has more than doubled his seasons tally in the last 3 weeks. Another nailed Bonus Ball helping him to lay just 8 points off the top 3.
Worldclass climbed a place into 7th at the expense of Amelia who dropped into 8th and seems to be in the middle of a slump that has seen her add only 15 points to her score in the last 6 weeks, Twerton joins her on the 50 point mark and they sit just above the relegation places.
The 2 new boys can’t really use that excuse anymore after 6 & 10 weeks respectively, although Joker has climbed a place into 9th and in doing so closed the gap on those above him, while Matt continues his woes at the bottom and it might be an idea to avoid his prediction on the Gamball as he still only has 1 correct result from 10 to show for his efforts.
Bomber
Well, in the last 2 weeks the Championship participants have surprised everyone, probably including themselves, by scoring over 100 points in total. Were these flukes or a sign of growing predicting ability and a depth of knowledge of sporting probability theory?
Flukes. Back to normal this week with just 33 points between 10 people (for Beefy I'll confirm that's an average of just 3.3 points per person). Leading the way was Quantum, the only player in double figures due largely to being the only winner of the Gamball lottery. Vic comes in 2nd, getting the most correct results and only losing 1 point on the Gamball due to cowardi....wisely choosing not to play it. Beefy continues his run of mid-table mediocrity with 8 points helped by 2 correct scores from the Sunday matches and finishes just ahead of Snooty due to getting one more correct result. Snooty was another saved by Sunday with 2 correct scores, including his bonus to recover from a negative score on Saturday. Baggieone had a late change of heart, letting common sense overcome his desire to keep on Amelia's good side, by changing his Everton/Hudds score. Bomber creeps into positive territory thanks to a good Sunday, including 4 points on both of his balls.
Then the bottom half. Bournemouth carries on where he left off last week - going backwards with his 3rd negative score in 4 weeks - that good start seems a long way off now (and there may be more bad news to come in the cumulative table). Stairs'and Salop's miserable season continues but a special mention for 4eva, for so long our league leader who appears to have totally lost his mojo - just 2 correct results and his worst score of the season so far.
Still, there's always next week.
Zin
Snooty eased away at the top this week by opening up an 18 point lead, 14 of those points have been gained by consecutive successful use of his Insurance Ball.
4eva holds on to 2nd spot – for now - but is in the middle of a nightmare spell of form, in the last 3 weeks he’s only added 5 points to his total and is in danger of dropping out of the promotion places and dipping below the 100 point mark that he worked so hard to be the first to achieve.
Baggieone closed the gap to just 2 points in 3rd after being 44 points away at the end of week 11.
Bomber, in 4th, will have to wait at least another week to crack the 100 mark, but did extend his advantage over his nearest pursuers.
The next 4 places are separated by just a single point with Beefy and BaggieVicar sharing 5th spot having both climbed again this week, while Bournemouth who drops 2 places and Quantum who climbs one share 7th,
Salop continues to struggle and is one off the bottom in 9th, ahead of Stairs who similarly can’t seem to gain any consistent momentum.
Bomber
