Administrator Batard 2,515 Posted October 2, 2017 Administrator Share Posted October 2, 2017 At the start of the year at work, we had our predictions who’d die this year. Little bit of morbid competitive fun. Nothing sinister: One of our guys went for Bruce Forsyth, pretty obvious choice really: So now I’ve conveyed my usual laborious intro, it’s suffice to say I wasn’t expecting Rock ledge Tom Petty to die. I grew up listening to him so a bit of my childhood died today also. ... And Ronnie Wood & Keith Richards live on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Forsyth has been odds on favourite every year since 1987, as has Hugh Hefner. It was a mainstay of PESGaming back at its height; I think one year we got at least three spot on.

Bound to have another skiing accident next summer and I'm having the points when it happens. Not doing Ibiza next year so the odds go down if you're taking holidays into account, surprised I have survived three years in a row. My body needs a break from 7 day drug/alcohol binges.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 As for Footballing personnel, a couple of the '66 World Cup squad have to be favourites now. Gazza must get mentioned every year but he defies the critics. And Maradona must be due a fatal coke sesh one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil-Dick Willie 3,219 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Keen for a 2018 version. You get 5 picks. Over 60s are worth 1 pt 40-60 year olds are worth 2 Sub 40 worth 3. A footballer, or footballing icon is worth an extra point. A tf365 member is worth 10 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be up for that in 2018. We used to have a deathpool in work (ironic considering we work in the NHS) and everyone had to pick one celebrity to put into it, to which then the names of those taken part were randomly put into envelopes of each celebrity (to have a fair pool). Some were obvious and some had health issues (eg. John Hartson), but then you had stupid ones like Cristiano Ronaldo and Britney Spears. First to go was Michael Jackson, only three weeks after we started. I won £350 after Gaddafi was killed and the favourite to go through it was Kirk Douglas. He outlived the deathpool.
