Ok I'm in at millidonk's request, just thought I'd make him sweat it a bit....

Looks like a lot of picking and thinking to me,  can't we have something that just involves flicking it in ffs :(

Rxd money from Dan and selections from Stribling, updated entrants list accordingly.

Now people have started paying we will stick to £10 per entry.

Decent day yesterday with a few signups. Lets keep the ball rolling.

9 DAYS 13 HOURS 57 MINUTES LEFT. Need all selections and payments in by then.


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on July 23, 2012, 08:43:04 AM
Received payments and selections from a couple more people, still awaiting a few though. Will update fully when I get a chance. We have til midnight Thurs. Still time to get involved.


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: Marky147 on July 23, 2012, 10:01:06 AM

Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on July 25, 2012, 08:29:08 AM
Sorry had to unexpectedly go away for a bit so not had any time to spam and update this. Prize-pool currently sitting at £100 to the winner so well worth winning. We still have until midnight tomorrow night to get more people joining.

Awaiting selections and payments from: Woodsey, Matt 50 and Dunk619, just selections from Betts and I think payment from Stribling? If i have missed your payment or selection just let me know. Cheers.

Tell your friends, family and even enemies for that matter to get involved.

For transparency as there are now two tiebreak answers the same I will go down the list seeing who has the closest answer for GB Gold, if the same then GB Silver.. GB Bronze etc etc until we have a clear winner.


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on July 26, 2012, 01:46:27 PM
8hrs left to join in!

Don't forget to send your selections in.

Post by: millidonk on July 28, 2012, 09:11:24 AM
Had a few dropouts so the winner will be taking home a cool £80.

Eso currently leads the way being the only person guessing the colour of the queen's hat correctly. That kid runs so bad.

Works for me.

Did it rain during Opening Ceremony?

17-16 final set Tsonga v Raonic

Post by: millidonk on August 10, 2012, 08:58:07 AM
Updated the sheet,

Seems all of us apart from Dan underestimated how well team GB would do.. if it goes to a tiebreak Marky will take the monies with a prediction of 9.65 for the 100m winning time when Bolt actually posted a 9.63.

Redsimon was the only one who correctly predicted it would rain during the opening ceremony and Eso was the only person to correctly predict the colour of the queen's hat. Sheer madness. This is going down to the wire!!

How have I never seen this thread. Today Instead of banging away on the space bar and arrow keys can you not post that spread sheet on here. Can't read it very well on my phone. Good work

Just for you Herbie, its a horriffic example of a spreadsheet, but it does the job. Probs need to zoom in a bit.

WAL. How do you swerve a Brazil win there?


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: smashedagain on August 12, 2012, 04:29:25 PM
Does this sports knowledge task look like it will be won by a weatherman and a fashion correspondent


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on August 13, 2012, 09:14:33 AM
Result of this is real [  ].

A Brazil win, silver here or a gold there and this could have been anyone's, but NO, with this not being an alternate reality there was always going to be only one winner..

It pains me to write this, but congratulations must go to Eso 'I am so fkin golden, I bink everything I enter, the chinese mafia actually owe me money, my wife is fit even though i don't have any hair mfkin' Kral. How would you like your payment Sir?

Final sheet:

Worth doing anything like this for the paraolympics??

He would obv like his payment spinning up.

Just lol at his knowledge of Russian gold potential


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on August 13, 2012, 09:22:48 AM
He would obv like his payment spinning up.

Unfortunately I didn't read the full T&Cs when i opened any of my betting accounts and it clearly states "Any bet I place will result in a losing bet" So a spinup via me might not be the best idea, then again it is Eso, he will probs spinup 7figs then after i withdraw and ship to him my account will get closed.

My speciality is Eastern European as you are well aware!!

I think you need to send a little bit to Bettsy as we staked some fella in the $55 tourney last night (obv he doubled the return) and then please take £20 and put it in little Amelie Janes money box (please God it is one of those sealed ones that you cant get into) and then ship the rest to my Bank Account please of which I think you have details already?

Thanks for running the comp Milli, I thought the colouring in of the chart you did was impressive!!!


Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: millidonk on August 13, 2012, 09:47:27 AM
Looooooooolz, how can anyone not love this guy?

She does have a locked money box, it already had a tenna in it, but my nifty hand eye coordination and a pair of tweasers soon saw to that!  ;) Sick gesture tho sir! tyty

Obv the guy has a roi > 100% he is playing with your's and Bettsies money!! Betts txt and said he owes you money? Just shipped you £60 now to make it easier.

Lolz I know, anyone would think I used excel as part as my dayjob..



Title: Re: Olympics - Make it interesting!
Post by: Eso Kral on August 13, 2012, 09:53:28 AM
YW buddy, will sort out the rest with Bettsy then!!
