No Premier League or Championship action today, and I stay clear of mismatches, so to help fill the day, here's a little quiz.
Note that 'League club' here can refer to an English or Scottish team. Here we go:
1. Who was the first Italian to be inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame?
2. What is the only League club whose full name doesn't contain any letters than can be coloured in?
3. Who are the only League club to be mentioned in the Bible?
4. Which country has the world's longest life expectancy at 83.5 years?
5. Of the 15 original entrants to the first FA Cup in 1871/72, only one survived to be a current League club - name it?
6. Who are the oldest professional football team in London?
7. In what year did the Queen last attend the FA Cup Final?
A tenner (via PayPal) to the first person to mail me all 7 correct answers.
In the event of any disputes, Signore Cassini's decision is final. In boca al lupo...
Competition Status: Closed - the winner was Sven - from Holland.
About Me
- Cassini
- I have had a life-long interest in sports and after studying Pure Mathematics with Statistics at secondary school, have been fascinated by odds and probability. The first system I came up with was a simple one - back the favourite and double up after a loss until a winner. Simple enough in theory, and I told my Dad about it. Not being a betting man himself, he ran it by some of his colleagues, and came home to tell me that it wouldn’t work because a long losing run would mean that the bank would be empty. Then there was always the possibility that the winner would be returned at odds-on, meaning that the total returns would not match the outlay. Not what a ten year old wants to hear! Only slightly daunted, I then went on a search for the Holy Grail, the secret to riches that I knew was out there somewhere. Finally in 2004 I stumbled across an article about Betting Exchanges and four years later I was able to make a steady profit.
