Derby Dead Pool 2016

[Banshees Scream 107]

The person in the lead must be doing either voodoo or is it a strategy proven effective or is it luck with not much to offer in the long run? Time will tell it all.

Lampreave doesn't look likely to get an outright Obit but could still nab a paragraph mention in articles later in the year for the Cannes or Venice Film Festival.

[Eesti 151]

 

 

 

 

I have already 4/20. (Pat Harrington Jr, Rene Angelil, Eric Lubbock, Martin Crowe)

 

I believe that Feek, Marks will be also hits.

Others ... I don't know. History shows that I get 3/20 or 7/20 hits per year. I have already over 3... so I will have 7 hits probably.

So last time I did this - Feek died on the same day.

 

So today it seems, that ...

 

90% chance to die in 2016 - Ford

75% chance to die in 2016 - Marks, Granger, Kohl

50% chance to die in 2016 - Adamowicz, Travis, James, Carter, Gabor

25% chance to die in 2016 - Farnham, Westhuizen, Ali

5% chance to die in 2016 - Cruyff, Romero, Fawkes

 

My math says that I will get more hits this year.

 

Four days later. Ford is dead. Soon I shall do another update. Gonna be harder this time.

 

Now I did some heavy research. This is how it's going to be according to the information available.

 

 

1. Kate Granger 85% (according to her blog 16.03.16 - losing her battle to cancer)

2. Keith Farnham 75% (pulmonary fibrosis, bladder cancer and hepatitis C - should be dead already)

3. Howard Marks 70% (inoperable bowel cancer which has spread to his liver and lungs since 2014/15 winter)

4. Tony Adamowicz 65% (stage 4 brain cancer - should be dead in less than two years)

5. Muhammad Ali 60% (32 years with Parkinson's disease - getting worse every year)

6. Clive James 55% (leukemia - embarraced to be alive since he should be dead already)

7. Kris Travis 50% (had stomach cancer, got into remission, cancer returned, life or death TBA)

8. Helen Fawkes 45% (won three times against ovarian cancer, according to her blog 22.03.16 - the cancer has returned)

9. Randy Romero 40% (hepatitis C, liver and kidneys are failing - according to doctors he might not see next year if he doesn't some new organ transplant)

10. Joost van der Westhuizen 35% (has MND - in 2011 was giver 2-5 years to live, only 10% with the illness can live up to 10 years)

11. Zsa Zsa Gabor 30% (according to statistics - people who are aged 99 have 70% chance to see their next birthday, otherways she has NO health issues at all)

12. Helmut Kohl 25% (health has been failing during the last 10 years, but now seems stable)

13. Jimmy Carter 20% (had cancer that had spread to brain and liver but declares himself cancer free, however he is old)

14. Johan Cruyff 15% (fighting with lung cancer and has a feeling that he is 2-0 up in the first half of a match that has not finished yet)

 

According to my math I should get six more hits which should give me a score of 46 points. If I add that to my current 58 points in DDP, I get 104 points. That should hive me a chance of 33% to win this years DDP. What do you guys think?

 

Alright, so ... 12 people left.

 

Well...

 

1. Granger 90%

2. Adamowicz 75%

3. Marks 70%

4. Farnham 65%

5. Ali 60%

6. Fawkes 55%

7. James 50%

8. Gabor 45%

9. Carter 40%

10. Kohl 35%

11. Romero 30%

12. van der Westhuizen 25%

 

Seems like that if you have cancer in 2016, you just have to go...

 

I am very positive that Granger won't see 2017 but she might not be the next one to go.

 

Another hit. This time not too suprising. Granger up next.

 

 

1. The Living End 106 (11 dead) (Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, Bonnie Brown, Vera Caslavska, Errol Christie, Jenny Diski, Peter Esterhazy, Thomas Fekete, Gary Haggarty, Mary Lucas)

________________________________________________________________________________________________

If Kate Granger dies next, then the table would look like:

1. David Quantick's Showbiz Pals 111

2. Cancerous Hatred 109

3. The Living End 106

3. Pan Breed 106

5. Heading Nowhere 105

6. Thomas Jefferson Survives 103

7. Golden Slumbers 102

8. Poochie Died On The Way Back To His Home Planet 95

9. DDP Tofoa 93

[Spade_Cooley 9,022]

I think we're talking days rather than weeks for Granger at this point. Would be astounded if she made June.

[RadGuy 1,605]

Damn it. I think I only have Granger in a few deadpools, but not the DDP.

Nor Shaun's DP either, I hope she makes it to July 1st so I can switch someone for her.

3. Dark Clouds and Silva Linings 3/10 (Bell, Bellow, Prince Ranier)

 

It turns out 2013 remains the closest, and even it is not the greatest hint of things to come, as many of the big hitters missed out dead certs. I suspect we're going to see things pan out much like OoO in 2013, with many of the teams in the top 10 starting to run out of steam after an early sprint, but then he did only have Henry Cecil of the walking dead left. Amusingly, he did have Kate Granger, 3 years on, and she'll still be talked about as one of the potential hits!

 

 

 

[Sean 5,998]

Here are the odds I give for my surviving DDP main team entries:

 

1)Kate Granger (95%) Stage four sarcoma affecting lungs and liver.5 year survival rate is near enough O and she was diagnosed in 2011.Has been off Twitter a week and has said there is no hope.Still undergoing chemo though.

2)Jenny Diski (90%) Lung cancer,Pulmonary fibrosis and a benign brain tumour affecting her ability to write.Given three months in February.

3)Jeanne Little (80%) Has Alzheimers.Diagnosed 2009 .Has been in a home since 2010 and has for several years been bedridden and non -communicative.

4)Zsa Zsa Gabor (70%) Bedridden ,fed through a feeding tube .Persistent infections,leg amputation,apparently has dementia and nearly 100.

5)Gladys Hooper (65%) 113 years old.broke hip last year.Now in Nursing home.Was pictured in bed at her birthday in January.

6)Billy Graham (60%) Parkinsons disease,prostate cancer,broken hips in years past, failing eyesight and hearing.as had serious infections in the past too.

7)Bhumibol Adulyadej (58%) Persistet infections, previous bleed on the brain,depression, spinal problems ,immobile.Is in Hospital almost all the time.88 years old.

8)Muhammad Ali (55%) Has Parkinsonns .Diagnosed 1984.Looks very frail in public.Had serious health scare last January

9)Leslie Phillips (52%) Had a stroke two years ago.Also had growth removed off his nose.Suffered a seizure and cardiac arrest last January.92 this month.

10)Stephen Hawking (48%) Longest ALS case in history.Diagnosed in 1963.Can barely move and uses a ventilator sometime.Has cancelled events over the last few years due to ill health.

11)Joost Van Der Westhuizen (45%) ALS since 2011.Given 2-5 years at the time.Can no longer walk and can barely talk.

12)John Noakes (42%) Has had Alzheimers for some years.Went missing last year and was found with a weak heartbeat.Recovered but couldnt remember incident next day.82 now

13)Paul Gascoigne (37%) Severe alcoholic who keeps falling off the wagon and has looked rough for years.Suffers with depression and other mental health difficulties.

14)Kris Hallenga (22%) Has had stage 4 breast cancer since 2009.Is responding well to treatment and still active and looking good.

15)Val Kilmer (20%) Rumored throat cancer.Looks a bit healthier in recent photos though.Apparently is reluctant to receive treatment for rumored cancer due to christian scientist beliefs.Has a tracheotomy and has lost considerable weight. Hospitalized last January with bleeding from the throat.

[Death Impends 7,373]

Not gonna bother going indepth on all my nine survivors, Diski and Langhorne are still fecked though, and I'm expecting at least two of Christie, Esterhazy, Nakamatsu, and Wright to go at some point during the year.

[RadGuy 1,605]

I only have three groups of people on my team:

 

1) Dead-certs picked by everyone (Feek, Angelil, etc.)

 

2) Very famous and old but not necessarily unhealthy people (Gabor, Bush, etc.)

 

3) Not so old, terminally ill, but unlikely to die this year (Harper, Westhuizen, James)

 

The folks from Group 1 are all dead, so I'm relying on a couple of Group 2 oldies (Havelange and Bush maybe) to throw in the towel, and at least one from the small Group 3.

[Switch 139]

As for me, Diski is the only (near-)certainty. Then there are a few cancer patients who might hold on (Bain, Chong, Kilmer, Wetton), a few ALS sufferers who are also likely to see 2017 (Frates, Ricksen, vd Westhuizen) and Gino Odjick, who seems to be recovering from amyloidosis and is probably a wasted pick. Then I have three wildcards in Gascoigne (if he drinks himself to death), McGuinness (the Isle of Man TT is pretty dangerous) and Vilks (surely there are still terrorists who want to see him dead). I probably won't reach 100, not that it's a bad thing.

[themaninblack 2,112]

Update will be tomorrow.

 

Just been totting up the monthly total for March player of the month. Astonishing...

[Deathray 2,933]

Update will be tomorrow.

 

Just been totting up the monthly total for March player of the month. Astonishing...

 

Go on give us a peek.

 

Seen as every one is doing likelihoods.

 

Muhammad Ali - probably could die this year but not expecting it now

Tony Booth - probably not

Bhummibol Adulyadej - should die this year

June Brown - Probably won't

Jimmy Carter - should go

Piet de Jong - probably will

William Frankland - expect him to but he's worth butt all anyway

Zsa Zsa - more hope than expectation.

Billy Graham Rev - should go this year

Clare Hollingworth - see Frankland^^^

Clive James - unsure think he will go

Stan Lee - unsure think he will go

Denis Norden - don't think he will

Richard McKenzie, unsure

Joost van Der Westhuin - probs not

[themaninblack 2,112]

Well, the record number of hits in a month has been smashed and points accrued too...it's the sheer number of teams that have done it!

[msc 17,762]

I think I picked up around 40 points in March, give or take, and if my maths is at all accurate, that's nowhere near the new record. (I shall aim not to spoil the suspence, however!) I don't recall three popular individual hits worth 10 points (plus jokers galore) all going in the same month before.

Jock Scot's death, assuming he was in his 60s, means that for the first time we have four DDP teams break the 100-point barrier in a year (last year's three podiums and Golden Slumbers).

[Death Impends 7,373]

Googling Scot brings up a 21 September 1952 birthdate, so yeah, died at 63.

Jock Scot's death, assuming he was in his 60s, means that for the first time we have four DDP teams break the 100-point barrier in a year (last year's three podiums and Golden Slumbers).

 

It's possible 15-20 teams will reach 100 this year,and even that feels like a consevative guess
