PREDO PROFILES #12: ML

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to billionaire local playboy and underground Predo League entrepreneur ML.

PREDO: Predo here. You made the last 16 of Europredo. You must be hoping for better at the World Cup?

ML: I don’t know Predo. I’m just happy to be here with the big boys. I hope to make exciting, vibrant predictions and make sure my fans have something to cheer about. I’m just gonna give it all I’ve got. I’m a honest man and I play fair. I think this will come across in the preds I make. It’s an honour to be representing myself at the World Cup along with, say, Benno or something. 

Who for top scorer do you ask? Well I think Janko for Austria is going to hit quite a hot streak. I know he’s barely played for 18 months but class never fades. Like rust. See you in Russia #Gulag

PREDO PROFILES #11: SIMPO

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to Simpo, founder of Football+, who brings a refreshing perspective to the Predo world.

PREDO: As Football + head honcho you carry a weight of responsibility for curating quality football content. How will you find the time to make world class predos?

SIMPO:  Hi Predo, yeah I'm doing great thanks. I'm proud to say that all the good work at Football+ comes from within, and makes the rewarding task of administrating this godforsaken website's finest football discussion group a simple one. However, these predos are are tough nut/skill to crack/master, so I make no promises of class, world or otherwise.

PREDO PROFILES #10: ANDO

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to a qualifier from the lower league play-offs, Ando Robertsy.

PREDO: Ando, you've qualified for World Cup Predo through the lower league play-offs. Do you think you can make an impact on the big stage?

ANDO: I've been working hard on my predo game in the lower leagues for a number of years... It was a big decision to drop down a few divisions but it has helped me grow as a predictor, I've learned not to rely too heavily on home wins, and I'm less averse to predicting draws. I really feel like I'm ready to take that step back up to the big time now.

PREDO PROFILES #9: BREN

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to the man who finished 6th at Europredo, Bren, aka The Money Factor.

PREDO: Bren, you were expected to win Europredo but your challenge fell short. What happened?

BREN: When it comes to the crunch, you have to hold your nerve. I went with the heart when I should have gone with the gut. I've put that behind me now and I know this time I just have to pummel throats to reach the top. 

PREDO: What have you changed about your game going into World Cup Predo?

PREDO PROFILES #8: ALEXX

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to Alexx, our first qualifier from the Asian region.

PREDO: Alexx, you qualified for World Cup Predo through the Asian tournament. How do you think you'll make the step up to the global game?

ALEXX: Well, actually I'm just happy to have made it through. Really my main goal is to wow some clubs scouts and secure a 10-year contract with someone like Tranmere Rovers so me and family can escape the oppressive regime of my homeland and get a new telly.

 
PREDO: Top level predo competitors are known for their vicious hazing of new qualifiers. Do you think you can handle this?

PREDO PROFILES #7: OLLU

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to Birmingham's most obdurate public sector drone, the man known only as OLLU.

PREDO: Predo Thomas here. Care to offer your thoughts on the upcoming Predo tournament?

OLLU: Why yes, Predo, I would love to.

PREDO: Go on then.

OLLU: Hard to say really until we see what the new format and rules are. But I'm just happy to be taking part, the joy of predos is not getting them right, it's the pure act of predoing itself. 

PREDO PROFILES #6: BENNO

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to Benno, who collapsed in sight of the rostrum at Europredo. 

PREDO: Predo Thomas here, what are your thoughts going into this year's predo tournament?

BENNO: Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about my life and many of the life choices I’ve made over the years and wondering if, coming to my 35th birthday, my course in life is now pretty set or whether there are any surprises or big changes around the corner. And I guess, when you think about it, that sort of thing is hard to predict. So I am grateful to be concentrating on calling the outcome of Russia v Saudi Arabia instead.

PREDO PROFILES #5: DICE MAN

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. This episode features the mysterious DICE MAN character. Who are they? What are they about?

PREDO: Hello DICE MAN

DICE MAN: Hello. For sake of clarity it should be known I am not a MAN, nor am I DICE (I am a die and I have no gender, for I am a die).

PREDO: Care to explain more?

PREDO PROFILES #4: DAVID W aka MANAGER

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. This episode meets David W, who dropped out of Europredo when in a strong position...

PREDO: They call you Manager. Do you think you will manage to win World Cup Predo?

MANAGER: I haven't seen it, so I don't know.

PREDO: That's a cryptic response, David. Care to elaborate? 

MANAGER: At the end of the day I can only hope my boys do what I ask. If they do that then there's belief we can go a long way. But I can't comment further as I haven't seen it yet. 

PREDO PROFILES #3: NEIL O

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. This episode features enigmatic Lancastrian playboy Neil Oted, known to those in law enforcement as Richard Q Smalls.

PREDO: What are your thoughts going into World Cup Predo?

NEIL: Well Predo, I’m expecting it to be a World Cup of two halves. Each of those halves will itself be split in two. What that means for the lads is anyone’s guess but as far as I’m concerned, I predict VAR will be the winner. Do we have VAR for predos? If not, I predict prob Benno will win.

PREDO: What do you make of rumours that World Cup Predo is to be taken over by Big Prediction? 

NEIL: All for it tbh. If I can get a £5 discount on my acca through a canny tie in with Sky Bet then I don’t see a downside really. 

PREDO PROFILES #2: MARK H

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. In this episode we speak to the last place finisher at Europredo, Mark H.


PREDO: You finished last in Europredo. How do you intend to bounce back for the World Cup?

MARK: By continuing my heavily -researched, labour-intensive, last-minute random guessing.

PREDO PROFILES #1: PREDO THOMAS

For the month leading up to World Cup Predos, we will profile the runners and riders in a series of intimate interviews. Here, Predo Thomas interviews the co-founder of the Predo Panel, Predo Thomas.

PREDO: Thanks for talking to us Predo, we know you're a very busy man.

PREDO: I'd do anything for predos, you know this.

PREDO: You're on the predo panel and yet you're also a feared competitor in the predo game. How do you find the time?

PREDO: I live and breathe predictions. I predicted this question. When you love predictions like I do, it's not a case of finding the time for predos. It's about finding the time for other things, such as sleeping, love, or taxes.
