zenith7: Oga bone that thing, this people are in for some bashing. If not that australia left that continent for asia you and i wouldn't have heard of them.

Bashing or not, i just dont want you to create an illusion that Nigeria will be playing some pot-bellied ball-miss-road tahitians. Nigeria might win but we sure will be matched evenly. Best of luck to Nigeria though.

...and in other news, Rode0 has been barnd again. Honestly, this bort is not making things comfy atall. Rode0, you can create another moniker if you feel like joor.

zenith7: Are you aware that of the team from Tahiti to play Nigeria this evening, only one is a professionalfootballer? 9 are unemployed while the others are delivery boys,truck drivers, physical education teachers, accountants and a mountain climber.

Dont get too excited already jare. Many of them played against the flying eagles in a previous under 21 competition. So, its not like we are going to be playing against non-footballers. Also, remember that those guys won 5 other countries to win the oceania cup.

albacete: error.
Error

can u actually place such bets? U can only select one market per match.

Oga ur bet is invalid

@akraym and udemzy, now wey i don dash una "like", i hope say e go cool una temper. If not make i kukuma take my precious "like"

Na wa for that guy o. Mehn, this is cheating at another level. Chei.

Udemzy and Akraym. Its time you both stop this conflict. Use this opportunity to call a truce and lets move on.
I hope you both take my advice cos from this point on,

I will speak of this matter no more.

akraym: a recent7-0 defeat in a warm-up match against the Chilean Under-20s team

why don't you try to read and comprehend before quoting me wrong, this a WARM UP MATCH not a COMPETITIVE, FRIENDLY or QUALIFIER MATCH , since you aren't gat time to argue, you should have skipped my post instead quoting me to make me look like a liar

Calm down bro. What's important is, we all know what is fact. Let this matter end here and lets all move on to greater things shall we?

albacete: More likelihood, not super compass or all that ish, bro.
That Nigeria not scoring more than 2 goals does not mean they are not in a good form. Did u bother to check the strength of the 4 teams they had played with?
I will not dwell on this issue again, just visit sportstats dot com, click on soccer and see for yourself the high percentage of games that play according to odds. You hardly see the biggest odd in a match play, except the biggest odd lies in the draw, if u understand what i mean. Small odds may not play, but the biggest odds hardly play.

I don't just talk anyhow, i have facts.

Bro, i have seen over 20.00 odds playing out as draw. The favored team was even lucky to share the spoils with a last min lucky goal. Abi have you quickly forgotten the system that Jasper dropped here recently about double chance for massive odds? Look, lets be frank. Double chance is not a bad choice attimes if you're willing to stick to this area. My prayer is Nigeria wins with good margin. But like Pekele said, i don't trust naija.

akraym: my prediction is

Nigeria win both halves in match (1.60) and
Tahiti +4 FT (1.50)

that's what am staking

Wait a min bro. Hope you're not putting all your hope on that chicken that always outruns the ball (Musa) to score four goals for you in this match o. Ideye is expected to start but we all know that out of 10 chances, he hardly converts 1. Anyways, +4 handicap for Tahiti is interesting. Well, lets hope am wrong for the sake of patriotism.

udemzy101: U GET MIND? IF YES THEN STAKE ON THIS PICK

Tahiti - Nigeria 1 odd: 25.40

Or 1x

Hehehehe.

Not bad. I remember when Albacete was praising the almighty bookie odds as if it was a super compass that points sure direction when they are small. Looking at the fundamentals of this Tahiti match, with odds of 25.40 for Tahiti win, a 10-0 loss would have been very sure. Yes, a loss is possible but a draw is also not invisible. With Nigeria, having scored not more than two goals in each of their last 4 fixtures, coupled with the no-striker situation we've found ourselves, 1.06 is a big misrepresentation of the true strength of the Nigeria contingent.
As for me, am putting small change on 1/X (although its very unlikely that Nigeria won't win the match today). Also the under 3.5 is looking like a goldmine. It is well.

tuktudicko: ^
Brah, y u de spell our country lyk dat na?

hahahahaha... LMAO! No mind me jare. The country dey vex me. Plus i no know whether seun don censor am too make bort no do me strong thing this good evening o. But wait o. Na wetin dey pain you be dat? Out of all the problems faced by nijerans, you still feel oblidged to spell the name correctly abi. Anyhow sha, i don talk my own. Up nijeru abi na niwajuru. All join.

aieo: be a patroit

Patriotism when money is involved eh? I cant allow my money to ever go down with the sinking ship called nijera. Just imagine, just before a major tournament, the players missed their flight due to bonus issues. The odd for nijera is rather flattering if i must be frank. 1.02 abi na wetin dey there sef. Dont get me wrong o. Nijera winning is an absolute possibility but when our major strikers are unavailable and the odds is still like that is baffling. Anyways, lets hope for the best for nijera.

akraym: lol. And murder is when you stake on Tahiti to beat Nigeria with odd of 23.00.

Come to think of it, Uruguay could pull a suprise

You could be right though. But guess what, am staking little on tahiti/x. Win or lose, i wont bother. Nigeria is just not very reliable.

udemzy101: LOL... WHO WAN TAKE RISK,WHO WAN USE MONEY PLAY?

Spain - Uruguay 2 odd: 6.45

Or x2

Hehehe,,,,,,

This is Suicide. Hehehe...

lol

akraym: isn't this a bad precedence

How? We are all aware that i have dropped picks in this tourney already.

zenith7: Oga this one wey your boys never see your picks. I hope all is well. If to say i dey your group i for don dey fear by now.

Am working on a faster 100% win level punting system, different from the not-very-fast one am using now. By that time eh, i go just drop pick here and ask punters to stake everything on them.

#StillWorking

albacete: So u've been around. I tot u got banned, maybe that was why u couldn't post ur selections. Or are u pulling out?

Actually, its not like i have not wanted to drop picks. My system is the one causing the laziness. Its like i still have a day to partake but i think its better to throw in the towel at this point. Very keen to know who will win the tourney though. Good job guys.

Mayowura: Ooh! Actually, i was thinking the page limit on nairaland was 200.
Well, now i know!

Check the forex thread and see what am talking about.

Mayowura: I would suggest Michky or albacete, to open the thread.

#justmysuggestion

Honestly, am not interested.

Why open new season na? Every other thread is aiming at 1000 yet some of us here are so in a hurry to open new thread. Don't you have any other thing to think about? Like seriously?

GOAL!!

Successimpactld: Listen michky or mickky let me tell u is better for u to surrender now or i will tear u apart......

Lol.

zenith7: KNOW YOUR OPPONENTS.

GROUP C
Abushman
Successimpactid
Michky
Juwoon

So, upon all my threat, upon all my warnings, these men listed above have decided to dare my sleeping lion. Chei. Abeg, make una hold me nah.. Aaarrghh! *about to tear shirt (hulk style)*

Guys, dont you think simpler rules would be better for this tournament? Mehn, all these squaroot, slot raise to power, weekly point etc, is getting more cumbersome o.

Anybody that gets paired up with me is going to be in big trouble. Me i no dey just enter ring o. I dey tear shirt like hulkhogan anyhow o. Lol.

Akraym. Dont you think deliberating on every single detail might slow us down? I'll suggest you check the early pages of this season and copy the template we used in the uncompleted tournament. Not compulsory though.

albacete: u guys are quiet on this.

Not bad. Infact, am in for whatever the house decides. Suggestion: Negative scoring isnt necessary. BTW, Bukahands too? Nice.

akraym: It won't even if its only 4 people who show interest, the competition would go on.

So far: Akraym, Udemzy, Albacete, Valboy and Michky have all indicated interest. Guys, whoever wants to play should indicate interest so that we can start tomorrow. AKRAYM, OVER TO YOU.

akraym: PUNT FOR PRIDE TOURNEY

Fellow Punters/Tipster, on behalf every punter/tipster on this thread, you are welcome to the "Punt for Pride Challenge Cup". Everybody is participating whether you just joined yesterday or not.

Its gonna be in group stages, the normal way soccer tournaments are grouped.

GROUP A
GROUP B
GROUP C
GROUP D
(4 punters in each;
(1st place in Group A meets 2nd place in GROUP C)
(1st place in Group B meets 2nd place in GROUP D) etc etc (we are all familiar with this now)

RULES
A minimum of 2 combo and a minimum odd of 1.5

Picks must be dropped 15mins before any team/events begin.

If there's a tie (draw) the punter with the highest odd wins

No live play allowed.

Your picks can come from basketball, soccer, baseball, whatever....

So kindly identify yourself if your interested and let the tournament begin.

Note this is just a draft, suggestion, criticism and observation in part or entirety welcome.

Thanks

Count me in. Suggestion: 1) Everyone should not be forced to participate. That was one of the mistakes of the last tourney. Only those that indicate interest should play. 2) A minimum of two combo? Do you suggest we cant drop singles? Minimum 1.5 odd is kinda on the high for singles aswell. 3) Dropping a pick 15mins before kickoff might give room for mishap. Everyother thing is fine.

onyxo76: no need to be insultive, i was not aware liberty reserve is down...

Sorry. Didnt mean to sound insultive.

albacete: Well said! "stick to it" attitude and money management will take him farther than he thinks.

So when is our tourney kicking off?

I think we are good to go. Akraym is doing a good job already. Ok, lets start indicating interest so that tomorrow we can kickoff.
