That’s what I’m thinking. Although every other round I made a snap decision, maybe I should do that now.......

Nope.

 

The next challenge, to be posted tomorrow, will be an easy one.  The result is almost a foregone conclusion.  :wink:

Bugger.

 

If it’s what I think then it’s easily a .....home win.

Stop hassling this is a difficult one.  Do you go head or heart.

Head or heart?  That gives you the same answer, no?

Exactly, this is the toughest one so far. ??

It's tough for us contestants already out too! Our best hope would be that no-one gets it right and thus the prize rolls over to the next competition. Realistically, for that to happen in this case though...

I'm tempted to go away just to stop that eventuality.

 

THIS IS NOT MY PREDICTION MODS!!! :)

I’m really struggling to make a prediction this time. I’ve even put a note in my work diary to remind me. I think it’ll be a last minute impulse decision. ??

  • Maple Leaf changed the title to JKB Sole Survivor competition. LAST CALL on this week's challenge.

The clever move at this stage is clearly to back an away win. If it is a home win you just move on to another game with at least 5 others and with Naismith signing, probably close to 10. Draw you are looking at 2 others and probably another few on that result. Whereas at the moment if you go away win, you are on a clear run for the prize money if Hibs win and I doubt they get many backers. So on that basis...

 

HOME WIN!

 

Winning by back Hibs to beat Hearts in the cup? You can keep your tainted prize money.

Exactly my thought processes. :)

I just cant get myself to back Hibs, even though by both our reckonings it's the logical play!

This is why I’ve been holding off. I was hoping on a few more signings. I’m not confident at all. Do I go away win, I’ll be over the moon if we win but I’ll have money to give to charity if we don’t. I just can’t make my mind up. The pressure! I’ll decide lunch time tomorrow.

Like most others I was holding off but I’m working tomorrow and I will forget to post if I don’t now.

 

Cant bring myself to go away though that’s probably the best move to get the cash so go draw (and hope I’m out after we smash them)

My thoughts exactly. I just can't find it in me to right those two words so I choose another two HOME WIN. Right oh dear......

Right. After much deliberation and flirting with away win just because nobody else has gone for it I have made my decision. It’s HOME WIN.

 

When I compared last years cup team to this years we are miles ahead and I really do think we’ll win. My sensible Hibby friend at work also thinks we’ll win so home win it is. Phew!

As Brian Clough almost said "as far as I'm concerned you can throw all your prize money in the bin because you got it from betting on Hibs to beat Hearts".

An AWAY WIN has been selected by the following survivor.

Obviously, if the Hobos get lucky and sneak a win through cheating, the Sole Survivor game is over.

A DRAW has been selected by the following survivors.  Obviously counting on a late, dubious penalty awarded to Hibs.

I was going to do away win just to cover all eventualities but for the first time in years I am actually feeling quite optimistic about the derby so had to go home win.
