Cup Luck

First, the Erskine Cup standings after the first round of group games:

Football Elite saw off the dustbins as Stoke City won last night, a result that also helped Online Trader pick up three points. The luckiest winner of the weekend ties was Daily 25 who lost 3.51 points but beat Jamie A who lost another 2 points when Stoke City v Newcastle United stayed under and Udinese beat Parma.

The unluckiest loser was the Cassini Value Selections which made 3.09 points, but lost to new league leader Randolph who already has dreams of doing the double.

Biggest margin of victory was Abromo over BettingTools.co.uk (13.88) and the smallest win was Mountain Mouse's 0.46 over Gecko.

As for the league, the big winner of the weekend was XX Draws with 6 winners from 12 selections and 8.55 points followed by Club Havana who had 7 winners from 8 selections for 8.02 points. Randolph's 4.69 points took him up six places to the top of the table, while XX Draws moved up 14 places, Club Havana up 10 places into second, and XX Unders up 6 places. Only 11 of 33 are in the red and overall, the profit is 39.62 points.

The top, profitable, 20 entries are:

Once again, the Selections total doesn't match the W-L-V totals in some cases as there are a few midweek selections, and in one case because I need to add in a couple of losers! The August / September monthly prize is up for grabs, with Club Havana just half a point behind Randolph with four selections tonight:

Birmingham City (@ Millwall), Derby County (v AFC Bournemouth), Wigan Athletic (v Nottingham Forest) and Cardiff City (@ Brighton and Hove Albion).

The first three matches are definitely from the Championship, but I'm not sure if Brighton are still there or not. Mind The Gap :) 

At the bottom of the table, those letting the side down are:
