On behalf of Trueblue...The Rules are as follows.....

There will be 2 threads each for each Saturday the 1st being this one where I will need 15 teams nominated from the SZ users who think will win there match this Saturday. one nomination per person.

Once the 15 have been nominated a Poll will be raised for SZ users to decide from the 15 nominated whether they themselves agree with the nomination thus some predictions will have stronger backing then others allowing gamblers to bet with a touch more camaraderie, this poll I will aim to have up by Wednesday every week leaving 3 full days for users to vote.

Each week I will do a review (sometimes on a Sunday of I am away watching SUFC) that will show how good we were that week.

I also realise that there if value in selecting Draws but at the present time and to contain order I am just looking for WIN SELECTIONS ONLY

One last thing I think its fair to say if I deem a nomination to be a heavy banker i.e last week Manchester United win, I will not count it as we are looking to find value here for bets and bankers like that add little value for risk.

Lets have your nominations (SATURDAY ONLY and TO WIN outright)

Macclesfield to beat Bury. This will be the first game at Moss Rose since Keith Alexander passed away.
 
Reading to win @ home to Bristol City...

Some juicy fixtures this weekend. Leicester to beat Cardiff me thinks too
 
Decent odds;

Charlton to win away at Millwall is 21/10,
Gills to win away at Stockport is 13/8
Norwich to win away at Huddersfield is 6/4

Nice little treble there. £10 stake returns a little over £200

My nomination is Norwich to beat Huddersfield

Gills to win away at Stockport is 13/8 who are rubbish away from home
Norwich to win away at Huddersfield is 6/4 complete 50/50 IMO

Rubbish bet? One of the strongest teams in this league, capable of beating anyone on their day at 2/1, i can't see how that is rubbish? A rubbish bet is tipping Chelsea to win at home at 2/9 a few weeks back. Which they lost. :p

Gills aren't all that agreed, but then again, nor are Stockport, and with Gills having won their last few games (and against Huddersfield nonetheless) i reckon they'll be in a bouyant mood.

Huddersfield in a dodgy run haven't won in 3 games and have conceded 9 in the process. Whereas Norwich, have won their last 3 games having scored 6 in the process.
 
3 away wins - brave man! But good luck to you! Good comeback. It is a good price but if this wins i will give you one whole pound myself!

All 3 teams are capable of winning their respective matches, and at that price, i think it's definitly worth a go. A little bit of luck here and there and i'll be laughing.

Also, i think i'll hold you to that pound :)

The same with every game that takes place in world football! I won with a Macclesfield and Bolton double at the weekend so why not! Both away priced at 3s and 4s. Odds in the double were 19/1. 5 returned 100. so why not?
