avongirl Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Re: PL Exclusive-Betfair League with $1100 Added starts 10th May. Table updated. :ok And well done to tonight's cashers :clap Final leg next week and although the league is being decided over all 4 legs there's still plenty of chance to get into the top 10 even if you have missed a week and would only have 3 scores. (And don't forget the $150 added anyway). Just to confirm, to be eligible for the spoon you will need to have played all 4 games (spoon cannot be earned lightly:tongue2). Goater and McG firmly in the box seat now but several others with good chances. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooloovoo Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: PL Exclusive-Betfair League with $1100 Added starts 10th May. Really good game, well done all cashers. I am delighted to have 5 final tables out of 6 betfair league games :cow Can anyone explain this "wooden spoon" thing? How is it "earned" (i assume it's not a good thing to "win" it)? And why a wooden spoon, what does it symbolize? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybell666 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: PL Exclusive-Betfair League with $1100 Added starts 10th May. Lol! The wooden soon is an age old traditional prize for coming last.

voiceofjoe Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Re: PL Exclusive-Betfair League with $1100 Added starts 10th May. At PL its awarded to the person gaining the lowest score in these League competitions, amongst the entrants that have played all required games. (i.e if its best 3 from 4 games then everyone playing 3 games is eligible to 'win' the Wooden Spoon') This is the history bit .... (courtesy of Wikipedia) A wooden spoon is a mock or real award, usually given to an individual or team which has come last in a competition, but sometimes also to runners-up. Examples range from the academic to sporting and more frivolous events. The term is of British origin and has spread to other Commonwealth countries. The wooden spoon was presented originally at the University of Cambridge as a kind of booby prize awarded by the students to the man who achieved the lowest exam marks but still earned a third-class degree (a junior optime) in the Mathematical Tripos. The term "wooden spoon" or simply "the spoon" was also applied to the recipient,[1] and the prize became quite notorious: And while he lives, he wields the boasted prize Whose value all can feel, the weak, the wise; Displays in triumph his distinguish'd boon, The solid honours of the Wooden Spoon —"The Wooden Spoon" from The Cambridge Tart (1823)[2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
