Oh sod it! I was going to be sober for tonight's game but I think I may as well have a drink after all!

.
I will be hosting your game Karen so I think a drink would be best afterwards to drown your sorrows or to celebrate an unlikely victory

Julian Fell 1/25 Karen Pearson 33/1 Draw 16/1 Friday 4th July Time = 8pm (subject to change) As there is no value for a Julian victory against Karen tonight I am giving odds for the score margin that Julian or Karen wins by :). The bold type is the margin of the victory by points These are; Julian ...

JasonCullen

Unfortunately I am busy tonight and will not be able to host any COOT games taking place this evening

. So if Martin or anyone else would do the honours of hosting that would be great.

Good luck to all who are playing tonight

My uncle told me he has lost a bit of money on the tennis this year because of the number of "generous" odds he was giving in match betting on outsiders beating hot favourites Examples: Jie Zheng beating Ana Ivanovic (1) 9/2 Marat Safin beating Novak Djokovic (3) 7/1 Thats my point about b...

JasonCullen

Yeah. I think these odds are quite reasonable now. As for match betting, I'll say.. 3-5 Kirk Bevins vs. Richard Brittain 3-1 1-2 Damian Eadie vs. Dinos Syfris 4-1 Although I really have no idea what form these people are in; these odds just come off the top of my head. I think these odds are fairly...

JasonCullen

ooh I've dropped from 10-1 to 8-1 in literally 15 minutes. You must have had an influx of bets on me

. Next you will be suspending the betting

JasonCullen

It would be good to see you do match betting too to see who you think the favourite for one particular game is :) For the remaining games I would say, Kirk Bevins 4/7 Richard Brittain 6/4 Draw* 25/1 Julian Fell 1/25 Karen Pearson 25/1 Draw 16/1 Damian Eadie 4/7 Dinos Syfris 7/4 Draw 25/1 *The draw m...

JasonCullen

Blimey, goes to show how distorted my odds are. At this rate, I will beat Kirk Bevins. :lol: They need amending Richard otherwise you would lose a lot of money on outsiders (if this was real of course!). I would be interested in your odds for the Plate competition with Corby, Ben Pugh and Jono in i...

C1: Seed - Dan Vanniasingham - one time Countdown champion in series 42 from London. C2: Qualifier - Jason Cullen - four time Countdown champion in series 57/58 from Bolton.

Here are the full classified results for Wednesday's COOT games

Jon O'Neill 94-98 Martin Gardner
Ben Wilson 96-79 Matt Coates
Dan Vanniasingham 109-112 Jason Cullen

All the above games were of the highest quality with all three matches going to crucial conundrums

JasonCullen

Changed Charlie

JasonCullen

Just a reminder to everyone about the mouth-watering COOT games taking place tonight

Jon O'Neil vs Martin Gardner 18:15
Ben Wilson vs Matthew Coates 19:00
Jason Cullen vs Dan Vanniasingham 20:00

Hope to see you there.

Type Dan Vanniasingham in the google toolbar and it will give you some info. I know he won 1 game on the show

Ben Wilson wrote:I'll be taking on Matt Coates tomorrow at 7pm. JaCu, would you care to do the honours?

Of course I will Ben

. By the way, after your game, I plan to play Dan Van so would you or Matt be our host?

If not, any other volunteers?

Just a reminder that Paul Howe vs Jon Corby will take place tonight at around 8pm. I will be the host so if you want to watch, be there or be square

I will endeavour to be your host Julian

. I want to see my "prediction" in action and I think I might be available that night

. Merci buku

JasonCullen

Fair dos mate

. I was only joking

. I don't mind being the underdog because odds can be defied like when greece were 80-1 when they won euro 2004

But anything beyond the round of 16 stage is a bonus to me as I don't expect to do well.

JasonCullen

Twenty on Julian

. Settled

JasonCullen

18-1 Martin Gardner
60-1 Jason Cullen

Why is there such a huge gap between an 18-1 player and the 60-1 players? I think 33-1 would be far more flattering and realistic

. Anyway, I love an outsider

JasonCullen

Yeah you played well Richard

I will provisionally host proceedings tonight. I am almost certain that I can host tonight so see you there hopefully

I will prepare your profiles

Yes, I'm more than happy to host any game

Here is another one of my notorious conundrum alphabets. My apologies if these conundrums have either; been repeated in this forum, shown on TV or are too easy. There are a whopping 46 conundrums with 2 conundrums for each letter of the alphabet except for letters X,Y and Z - for obvious reasons :D ...

Ginger Jono wrote:I just don't know what to think any more.

Well Corby is right. I forgot to add on the 7 points each from the last numbers game because I was busy preparing the crucial conundrum

. My bad Jono. Just to clarify the 108-99 score is correct and sorry for messing you around

JasonCullen

Well, you're probably a more reliable source than Ben Wilson. Thank you. I shall amend it.

I would wait until Corby has posted the recap and that will clarify the score

. I did get mixed up at one stage of the game so I may be wrong about 101-92

JasonCullen

The final result from the preliminary round:

Jon Corby 108-99 Ben Pugh

By my reckoning, Corby won 101-92 after he declared the crucial conundrum on 28 seconds! But I may be wrong as I did not write the scores down

JasonCullen

Can two qualifiers face up against each other? Or are the seeds and the qualifiers separated like in Wimbledon so two high quality players wont meet at such an earlier stage in the tourny with one of them guaranteed to exit at such an early stage. Also, it would mean that one less-a-like player is g...

JasonCullen

I'm looking forward to the next round's draw today

I'm sure Jono said it was taking place on Monday 30 June at around 10 or 11pm. Unless, he has changed the date

JasonCullen

Also one request would be that there's a pause given between the numbers and the target so people can write them down. You get ages to write down the letters, and no time to write down the numbers. No problem Martin. I will make sure I give you time to write down the numbers next time I host any ga...
