blonde poker forum

Thanks Tighty for letting me post this,

I've created a predictions league on the Euro score picker competition on betfair; aptly named the Fckmylife cup for this summers Euro 2008.

Its free to enter and although its a bit of fun there is some serious wonga to be won- top 11 prizes range from £250 to £5000 to the winner who finishes top.

The Link is here: https://euroscorepicker.betfair.com/scorepicker

and basically the rules are easy- try and predict the scores and outcomes for each game played in the European championships, and points are awarded for each correct score and outcome. The rules are here: http://euroscorepicker.betfair.com/scorepicker/rules.action

You can also update your predictions throughout the tournament if the teams you thought would do well seem to be shoite!!!

The player who finishes top of the betfair league will win the 5k with the remaining prize pool as £2k for 2nd, £1k for 3rd and the remaining 4th to 11th getting £250 cash.

To Join the FCKmylife cup you need the pass code so just ask here and I will PM ya it- there is also a league message wall for general piss taking and bragging aswell as on here

P.S I am wondering whether it would make it more juicy if entrants paid a small stake $5 or $10 for the winner/placers of the blonde league as chances of making the big money are probably pretty slim- but i'll do this depending on what you guys think-let me know- 1)no stake and just the braggging rights or 2) small stake so a wee prize aswell as the bragging rights- let me know who's interested in what

Sounds llike fun will do it either way but would be good fun to do a small stakes to gve a prize and see who the best(blatantly luckiest) blonde is.

Pass code please.
 :)

I am in.

ive just done mine only thing is it won't seem to let me put a draw as a result in a k/o stage game ?

PM's sent- I'm a bit worried though its worked out I've got spain to win it(the biggest bottlers on the planet) Mondatoo I done this the 1st time aswell-what you need to do(and this makes it a bit more interesting) is predict final score including extra time AND penalties- so if a team scores to make it 3-2 in extra time thats the score you take, but if you think one will go to extra time and penalties you need to predict the total goals including penalites.

i.e if it finishes 0-0 in full time, 1-1 in extra time then 4-3 on penalites it would be 5-4 in total for correct scores- I've chosen not to predict any scores like these as I think its near impossible

Thats bit mad but ok cheers m8 guess a dont want ne pens then lol ive got spain to make the final but the germans to win it

Same here I had a draw in the semi and had to revise a score to 2-1 to have someone go through.

Exactly same situation here dont say your semi was italy spain otherwise that really would be too spooky.

As long as Horneris isn't in, I'm in :)

Right, The general consensus is for each to stake $10 and we'll probably do 1st and 2nd get a prize as I expect about 10-15 players, with prizes either 80/20 or 70/30 (if we get 15 then possibly might do 3rd get there stake back).

If your wanting to put the wager on then transfer the $10 to myself on fulltilt- my username is Luvrat. If your still wanting to take part but not wanting to put a wager thats fine- it'll just mean you'll be excluded from the prize pool but still in the blonde FCKmylife league- i.e if you put no stake but finished 1st- 1st prize will go to 2nd etc.

Once you have transferred your money to me please PM me advising me and giving me your fulltilt username

Also you can update your predictions at any time so may aswell get yer starting predictions the now anyway.

cheers,

Stuart

PM please

PM please

Re: money I don't have a FT a/c. I can either pay it direct into your bank a/c or maybe Tighty would pay it for me if he has a FT a/c and knock it of the £50 he owes me assumming he is ok with that.

Aye mate thats fine-PM sent

Would someone be able to ship hairydude my $10 to him on full tilt and i'll ship it to them 1st on stars as i dont have an ft a/c cheers

I can't access my tilt a/c. are you not on stars?

nah mate I dont have a stars account hence why FT but I'm sure if you transfer to tighty/someone with both he could forward it on to me

code please stuart! I don't have FT either, if your playing live though let me know and I'll square u with the dough.

Aye i'll probably be playing live sometime next week gary so can get it then-pm sent 

P.S please dont take spain as the winners 8)

Too late I have been backing spain for the last year, £5 here, £10 there, £20 on occasions I have a nice return if the Spaniards do it, bit like my World Cup bet when I backed Italy all over the place at very nice prices.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Thank god I can change it up til kick off  ;)

I haven't got a tilt account either. Can anyone transfer the $10 for me and i'll ship it on stars?

i shipped yesterday thought id posted here to say... obv not sent from matt7184 on FT

Anyone able to do this? I'll ship first if there's concern about me being a low stakes conman

got it mate-was just waiting to find out who matt7184 was lol?? got 4 paid so far

Hairydude can u not just set up a stars acc (understand this is a bit of a fuk on 4 u but just seems few ppl dont have tilt account) then whoever the winner is you can trfr money from ur new stars acc to the winner.

Hi mondatoo- I was thinking that myself- have now set up pokerstars account under username hairymonster

Cheers for setting that up. $10 shipped, rossfourfive

no worries- i'm such a donkey tho I should have went through some referral site to see if I could snag any deals-doh!!! ah well been meaning to open one on stars anyway

Update:

Have 10 people registered so far and expecting a few more but please if you intend to play this then please register before friday so I can let everyone know payout and payment must be before kickoff to enter-otherwise it'll be void and you'll not get a prize should you come in 1st or 2nd.

Have both a stars and FT accounts now so usernames are hairymonster and luvrat repectively.

People who have paid so far: Me, Gatso, Mondatoo, rossfourfive, sirlosealot, Suited_jock,

Most probably doing it 70/30 and if we get over 15 runners 3rd will get stake back

Will have a go.

Code plzzz.

$10 sent to stars.

Last day to enter this as chances are I'll be in the battle cruiser tomorrow for the Euros- currently got 13 runners and as it stands 1st gets $100 and 2nd gets $30. Also there are 4 still to pay-please pay today if you can, if not then before kick off at the latest

I want to enter the mini league but dont have a stars or FT account -if there is any other way then let me know otherwise i will just be in the league with no chance of taking the money.

Could i have the password please

aye mate thats fine-all welcome at least you'll get the bragging rights should you win- pm sent

Ok, i am in as CPFC1 - not playing for the money though unfortunately

OK Im in as redsimon. Ive shipped $10 to luvrat on FTP from hoofhearted.

Ive entered all the scores . If my sides dont make QFs am I allowed to put those teams that do in and redo scores? Also I take it I can redo scores in group stage in light of earlier matches?

Got it thanks- nah even if you dont get the predictions correct for who will qualify you get to change then later on to continue making the predictions(I think)

Just waiting on 3 to pay:

1) Bongathon??? (is this you Baron???)
2) Scotty2Hatty
3) AcidMouse

Also if anyone else wants in let me know ASAP as think i'm going out quite early tomorrow, currently got 15 runners

Cheers for setting it up gl all. gonna study the two games today now :)

Off to a flying start....Swiss 1 - 3 Czech.....

cmon the czechs i have 2-0

Get in 2-0 Portugal. One correct result and one correct score. Does the league thing show a table of everyone's points?

Same here m8 changed my portugal score from 1-0 to 2-0 just before game started lol ssswwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sick start 4 u m8 n1

How did everyone get on tonight?

I had 2-0 for both games so thats 15 points i think.

You have 29 points now m8 i am on 25 had got results but neither score

Also got the Austria v Croatia score right to make it 3 out of 3, but then had Germany to win 2-1 so my run ended.  Still, 35 points and 54th place overall aint a bad start.  Come on the French - 2-0 winners tonight i reckon.

Had a shockingly bad day yesterday, just the 1 point. Average day today.

Looks like everyone was the same though as table still pretty tight.

Had correct score for the sweden game woohooo lol wud imagine every1 had spain

cant believe it- i'm doing this in my work but not through betfair and I have 3 correct scores and 2 correct results-dunno why I didnt keep the same results as I would be on 42 points- doh!!!

right CPFC1 and Scotty2Hatty are just in it for fun so got $140 total stakage from 14 players- doing $100 to the winner and $40 to 2nd place.

gl all.

fuk me finally 1-1 came home, off the bottom!

table after the 24 group games.

still way too close as each qf is max of 30 pts, 40 pts for each sf and 50 for the final so 250 pts still up for grabs

Haha my only excuse is that being mid table, I decided the only way I could win was to against the grain and take the exact opposite of what I thought everyone else would have- guess theres a reason that greece and romania were underdogs against spain and holland etc!!!

Lol, my excuse is that i haven't looked at this really since start of torn and what i thought b4 the torn has obv changed during the torn and could have changed but didnt. Havent even put any scores in for the Quarters so far.

Just hope i dont finish last.

From the bottom to 3rd in 6 games, nice 15 points for russian game i can smell top!

I fail @ predicting QFs

D'oh - only just hanged my picks from the day before the tourney started. Oh well.

I didn't change any of mine during the group stage. it all went wrong once I started messing around for the quarters

You haven't really went wrong to be fair gatso the FACT is the quarter finals have been suprise results it's as simple as that.Who have you took for tonight ?

spain

Gatso what you gone for ?

I've took germans 2-1 hoping u have took spain so i can win this thing.Also got spain in sweep so even it out a bit.

I nearly switched to germany for the same reason as it's so close but decided against it late on

gone for spain 3-1

still 6 people in the runing in theory

GL mate hope you win it as i'd win more from the sweepstake anyway

actually scrap that. the fact that we've gone for different results means only the top 3 can win it now

What have you gone for Ross ? Draw would be funny

can't do the draw in ko games so he needs the correct outcome and a better score prediction than whichever one of us 2 he's got the same outcome as

I mean as in he'd took a score like 6-5 or summit for pens but yeah it would still be a win.He's got germany in sweepstake so possibly he may have laid it and took the Spanish.I've been top or 2nd since the 2nd game or something maybe shouldn't have dropped my ar*e and went for the Spanish who i think will win.I'll not be complaining though either way I'm up but could do with the Spanish winning it.

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

had spain 2-1 then at the last minute in a moment of madness changed it to germany 3-2 to go for the win.

wp gatso

Wasn't expecting to get the 2nd place nice 1 gatso

Forgot all about this and never changed my predictions.  :D

Nice win gatso
 :)up

wp gatso.

wp good fun

WP Gatso and Mondatoo- i will ship the moniez tomorrow.

Was just looking at the scores and Gatso you were so unlucky not to receive one of the big prizes offered by betfair- if you got the correct score in the final it woulda been another 30 points for a shared 3rd place sharing a grand

good fun tho- gatso whats you pokerstars name??

really? didn't realise it was that close, if I hadn't got every QF wrong I would've had a chance then. ne'er mind.

stars name is lalarina

cheers for organising mate

+1

No Worries-did you get the money ok??

ya  :)up
