Week 10 Results & Week 11 Bets

It was a weekend of high odds, with plenty of us taking the approach that there were sure to be a few upsets.

In the end, it was us that were upset, as the only real "shock" was Arsenal winning at Chelsea, which is hardly going to register on football's Richter scale. All that goes to show is that the bookies know better than us, and they offer high odds for a reason. I should add the word "durrrr" to the end of that.

Therefore, on the whole, scores were pretty average this week, with about 2/3 scoring 4 or 5.

All the stats:

This week, 17 people played
Most popular predicted result: Man City WIN (17/17 - 100% concordance)
Most disputed result: Stoke vs Newcastle (6-6-5 split)

Longest Odds: Josh Daniels 48,874/1

Best Predictor: Yanik Joshi & Joe Miller (7/10)
Worst predictor: A lot of people on 4/10 - see graph below!

Best Predicted result: Man City WIN (17/17)
Worst predicted result: Arsenal WIN & Sunderland/Aston Villa DRAW (4/17) - shame on all the Gooners who went for a Chelsea win...

No villain of the week this week as no-one scored high enough for one event to have drastically altered their chances of winning.

Full results:


To the leaderboard; as usual only those who have played >2/3 of weeks qualify - so this week that's 7/10 games. Therefore, we have a new entrant - Nick Collins - who has slotted in to lower mid-table. Will O'Doherty maintains his lead at the top, and along with Joe Miller is pulling away ever so slightly from the chasing pack. Ryan maintaining his customary position at the foot of the table, although he is closer than he has been for a while to moving up a spot.



To this week's predictions:

Newcastle vs Everton - NEWCASTLE
Blackburn vs Chelsea - CHELSEA
Arsenal vs WBA - ARSENAL
Liverpool vs Swansea - LIVERPOOL
Man Utd vs Sunderland - MAN UTD
Aston Villa vs Norwich - DRAW
QPR vs Man City - MAN CITY
Wolves vs Wigan - WIGAN
Bolton vs Stoke - STOKE
Fulham vs Spurs - DRAW

Playing it nice and safe nets me a pathetic 1375/1 from PaddyPower.

Bets/Predos in the comments below as per usual.

Good Luck!
