The Weekly Chat Accumulator 21/22


Recommended Posts


It's pretty fucking obvious that if your pick didn't win, that counts as a loss and you take your place on the bench.

Trying to claim one particular bookie's promotion / perk makes it a winner haha.

Ok I had a free fiver from paddy power this weekend.  my bet lost, but it didn't cost me anything so I'll take that as a win.

are you not banned after two consecutive no shows last season?

Did I?

Not that I am aware of.  I know I missed one week but didn't even think two consecutive no shows was possible as you'd drop to the bench wouldn't you?

Anyway, as much as I enjoy the Hat Acca, my life sometimes takes precedence over it and so I apologise if that meant I missed my slot a couple of times. Jeez

My pick did win. Bournemouth netted me £62.42.

It's not obvious at all because it's never happened before. If the acca had won, we need to drop the early pay out winner and that seems to be the easiest choice going forward and something I've already put up for tdd on his return.

Yes that pick won for you personally because of the early payout option with b365.

But in the context of a combined acca with picks from different people who are not specifically using b365, it lost.  Bournemouth didn't win.  Very obvious.

I'm only winding you up.

The implications of the early pay out and how it affected the poster who picked it for the following week wasn't obvious for these reasons;

1. It hadn't happened before,

2. It hadn't been discussed before,

3, It hadn't been considered or thought about before, and 

4. During the game, three of us were all correctly assuming that that pick had come in.

As I stepped in to do the legwork - thereby saving the opportunity on Saturday for others to lose money - I'm sure tdd will step in to make an exemption in my case and keep me in the starting line up. Actually, I'm not being serious here. I think it's probably best and easiest to bin the poster from a winning acca which only won because of early pay out but bet365 aren't the only ones who do it and anyone who doesn't, as Parky says, is a pretty stupid cunt because the odds difference on those who don't (from when I spent time doing it) wasn't good enough and was often same or worse.

Tdd, we have added a new rule for the acca. The last posted order and sequence is therefore the correct one and the only changes to the tally of in-progess is 0/1 for me and W13, L11 for the total (which the mutant missed when trying to be a smart arse). I suggest you do give the picks out of i.e. W & L rather than total winners and add in the winning streaks as I did. It'll make it easier for you.

And how the fuck did you get the names on consecutive lines? There's always a space when I do it, like creating a new paragraph.

Glad you've seen sense and realised you backed a donkey. 

Have a smashing evening.

Don't think you've ever even had a correct pick. Stay on the bench.

Will try to head along to the beer mile myself on Saturday/Sunday. Should hopefully have time, although may have to make do with the Mikkeller bar in Shoreditch instead. 
 

If Yardsale Pizza still deliver to that bar get one, fucking magic pizzas. The Goose Island bar around there is alright as well if you pass it, probably wouldn't seek it out however.

Feckin hell, fit a malarkey the last few pages have been. ? . Lets wade in then. The acca has always been simplistic over the last couple of years in terms of how we judge a winner. The bet either wins in 90 minutes or it doesn't. There's no complicating it by applying payout rules on any specific betting firm. If you use the likes of B365 and benefit from early payout on your bet (if you choose to back it) then that's good for the individual but not the collective. Needs to be inclusive for any and all ways of punting, including the old school bookies shop visitor which some of us still are. Its also much easier to report results/winners etc. 

I'd prefer to keep the 'rules' as they are and keep things straight forward. 

I think i've caught up now so hopefully below is accurate.
