Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 11, 2021 I was definitely aware that Nikki Grahame was picked but I was pretty busy today, hence why the update isn’t until now. So, it is common in the early stages of the cup to have some sort of punt picks on your team. Indeed, people love to punt in folk like Bella Thorne and Kanye West in the first three rounds, so when I saw Nikki on maryport’s team, I assumed she was just that. However, I was clearly wrong in this case, and as such maryport takes the lead against Bibliogryphon, who’s hoping to get his second cup hit this round.

msc 18,491 Posted April 11, 2021 13 hours ago, Perhaps said: Edit: John Angelicoussis has also died. https://greekcitytimes.com/2021/04/11/shipping-magnate-dies/ This puts me back into a narrow average age related lead against Book again. Tough cup game, this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 11, 2021 Angelicoussis was a bit of a cult pick this time around. I mean, how often does someone say they were able to pick a shipping magnate in a dead pool? Anyways, he is a bit of an important pick here for multiple teams. Perhaps takes the lead against Reptile in his tie, who I’m sure is hoping to be this year’s Fear Beag. Msc and alt obits guy level their score against their opponents too. However, in both cases the Angelicoussis pickers take the lead as he is younger than their opponents differential pick (Prince Philip for Book and Jack Veneno for Banana). Clorox doesn’t take the lead in his match, but he does get to remove some of his deficit against Spade in his tie...

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 14, 2021 It happens, sometimes unexpected unique picks happen even though you expect people to pick them as well. But, as you are the only one to pick him you get the sole points this round. And you get to take the lead too.

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 17, 2021 From what I can tell that is a blog and the only source of his death so far, so I don’t think I can count it as a QO. Hopefully a better source comes though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 18, 2021 It is no surprise that in the past deadsox has had world oldest people as a way to advance into the next round. Will Hester Ford let him advance to the next round? We’ll wait and see, although he is in the lead currently. No doubt Quim will be shouting that he’s lost for sure right now...

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 19, 2021 Who doesn’t like the classic fringey picks of reality TV contestants? They’re classic picks for a reason. Well, this reality contestant died on a Sunday, which is very fitting with her name. Anyways, she’s unique for msc who now has a four point lead against Book.

Joey Russ 7,239 Posted April 22, 2021 It has been reported on the forum that Steve Davis has died. Folk who’ve been dead pooling for a while recognize his name in past research, but only Reptile seemed to notice that he was on his way out. Anyways, he takes the lead now in his tie.
