East Kent Jag II Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I see what you've done, BB. Thanks for putting in such a lot of work for us punters. Although I'm not a gambling man I confess that for previous tourneys I've had a look at the bookies odds, with the occasional odds on result changed if I liked the opposition. Although I took the fancy named teams in the previous round, I don't think my success rate was that high, so, for what it's worth, you've saved me some time & effort! I'll not be too hasty though, & I'll submit my teams shortly. Again many thanks for going that bit further for us all. In the absence of the Miners Welfare & Dundonald Bluebell, I've got to go for Hill of Beath Hawthorn, followed by Burntisland Shipyard!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 After all the work put in to devise the randomiser it would be extremely daft of me to think I could guess any better, so here's the results I was sent! HHAHAAAHAHAAAAHHAHAHHHAHHHAHHH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianlucatoni Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 just read the PM and the rules after a few beers and a couple of glasses of vino (for one night only I'll be bobbyhouston!) - reckon I'll have to read it again on a clear head!!

Aliballibee Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Message received and (partially) understood BB - thanks for that extra effort. As a side note, nice wee local game for me these days with Penicuik vs Tranent - should be a good one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 I'm with Scotty in concluding that my random guesses would be way worse than your methodical ones, BB, so I'll ditch my manual one and go with your 21st century automated "pin" and say - AAHHAAAAAAHHHHAHHHHAAAHHAHHHHH Many thanks for saving my few remaining brain cells.

BowenBoys Posted August 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Perhaps my explanation was not very clear. Apologies. Basically, they are random H/As with an advantage given to higher ranked teams and those playing at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Kent Jag II Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'll also go with your algorithm suggestions, BB. I was about to fill them in, but I see that the clever gianlucatoni has discovered a short cut! Can I ask that you transfer the recommendations you sent me into your spreadsheet as well? It will save me buggering it up if I make one of my occasional typos! As ever,many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
