I thank you, sir.
Firstly for the congratulations. And secondly for pretty much
telling me how to win this bastard. Much appreciated.

You're welcome, hun.
And were it not for a last minute Everton Penalty(tm) I'd be in second place
behind you. As it is, I'll settle for teh third.
As I suspected, TMAK could've won it without even betcunting, but through it
all away like a twat.

Hmm... do you think there's a lesson to be learned here?

DWTWP. If TMAK hadn't bet, I'd have bet differently. And tbh, I'd
almost certainly backed Bolton and Arsenal. So, it would have had a
happy ending anyway.
Having said that, I have to admit I was quite relieved when I first saw
that he had decided against playing it safe.

There are lots of lessons to be learned from the SBL, for lots of people.
I had a few ways to play it going into todays programme, and was worried
when General hadn't betcunted with just minutes to go, so I needed to place
a cunt that would overtake him with a win. Otherwise, I only needed a couple
of results to go my way in order to win it.
In the end, I was only two goals away from winning outright, which is very
pleasing.

GPWM. I considered an AMY on Arsenal, but the odds were so low it wasn't
even enough to catch General, so I ruled that out, and when I saw that
Chelsea were playing a weakned team at St James Park, that swung it for me.

Me too. Strategically, I think it was downright foolish betcunting from
TMAK, and that would apply whether it came off or not.
I totally loved the way that you gave yourself multiple ways to win,
however, that was pure class. Especially the last resort thing where you'd
still have slightly more than Al Parkes if you lost all your betcunts, and
therefore could win it if everyone else squandered ATY.

I think it just failed to take advantage of all the Youks TMAK had
built up over the last ten months. I was dreading the prospect of
TMAK putting, say, 500 Youks on Bolton or Fulham or putting AHY
on Arsenal. That would have put me in a very difficult position.

Why, thank you. I think the lesson is simple: Second is the place to
be going into the last weekend. First, I was able to disregard TMAK's
betcunt. If it came off, he had won by a mile and there was nothing I
could do about it. If it didn't, he was out of the running. Second,
Dat's
bet was a right cunt. I had to make provisions for one of those games
finishing in a draw. And Steve H played it really well, too. That bet
on
Charlton getting a draw was a solid one. Even if Middlesbrough lost,
a Charlton draw would still have given him more than me if I won with
Bolton. Thus, I had to negate that with the 30 Youk bet, which,
providing
Bolton won, would have put me about 4 Youks ahead of him.
Finishing above Parkes, whatever happened, was important but tbh,
when you saw my bet, I felt certain you'd cancel that out by ensuring
you didn't finish any lower than 108. And, quite rightly, you did.
And people say it's not a strategic game.

True.
The most annoying thing for me was General. I wasn't sure if he wasn't going
to betcunt at all (meaning I'd definitely need to make up the 80 youks or so
to overtake him) or if he was waiting for me to place my betcunt.
In the event, I gave it until ten minutes before the deadline, then
concluded that he probably wouldn't be betcunting, if he did, it wouldn't be
AHY, and so therefore I'd need to go for a bet that would overtake him if it
won (and that would still keep me ahead of your lowest-possible total if I
lost, just in case General did bet big and late).
I've really enjoyed the strategy here.

I'm quite disappointed with you, Mikey. Ben I expected it from, but
you seem to have missed the whole youky funness of it entirely. You're
such a bad sport. But congratulations, you blurry cunt.
If you still live where you did 5 years ago, I'll get your prize in
the post to you in the morning.

Well, believe it or not, some people get pleasure from actually working out
advanced strategies'n'shit rather than entering the same rubbishcunt prize
draws as pigshit-thick housewives from Salford...

Yes. If only the HOHYMaster would take "if onlys" into consideration,
we'd all be bloody fantastic at this SBLmalarkey.
Consider that your first suggestion, Joe.

A bit harsh. I think Mikey's had his share of the fun too. To the
winner go the spoils, and as far as competitions on here go, that
largely means whooping it up and waving your cock in everyone's faces.
I expect to be doing some shortly too.

Mine might take longer. Would you be so kind as to advise of a valid
postal address to this email addie, please Mikey.

Sorry. I just happen to get more enjoyment from the strategic
element of the gheyme than I would from wild, random betcunting.

Yeah, don't send it there.
