blonde poker forum

Would people be interested in entering a competition i would be willing to run where you would have to predict the outcome of 10 events over the course of the season.  All entries would have to be submitted prior to the start of the Premiership season and the events would be as follows:

First player to score a hat-trick in a Premiership game
First team to score 5 or more goals in a Premiership game
First Premiership manager to leave their club (sacked or resign)
First player to be sent off in a Premiership game
Non Premiership team to go furthest in the FA Cup
Non Premiership team to go furthest in the League Cup
Leading English goalscorer in the 5 World Cup qualifying matches this season
British team to go furthest in the Champions League
British team to go furthest in the UEFA Cup
First player to miss a penalty in a Premiership game

For each question you will make 3 selections.  You will gain points depending on which selection is correct (6 pts for your 1st selection, 3 for your 2nd and 1 for your 3rd)

Entry fee will be $20 which can be shipped to me on Stars and i will keep the competition updated throughout the season.  Winnings will be paid depending on the number of entrants.
I would like at least 8 people in it to make it worthwhile.  I will enter so we are up and running with 1  ;)

All entries to be posted on here and monies shipped by midnight Friday 15th August to be eligible to play.

I'll have a bash. 

None of my answers will be Crystal Palace though.

Can I ship you the money on Tilt instead? Me and Stars have fallen out.

Im getting excited about the footy now, what a hellish few weeks its been.

On a side note, anyone else done the sun dreamteam this year? Do they still have mates leagues?

I'll be in, will post my selections later and ship you the money on stars.

Edit: Barry - ship me $20 on tilt and i'll ship $40 from stars if that works?

Done!

All mine are in order of preference, so in the example below, Adebayor is number 1, Torres is number 2 and Ronaldo number 3 etc

First player to score a hat-trick in a Premiership game
Emmanuel Adebayor, Torres, Ronaldo

First team to score 5 or more goals in a Premiership game
Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City

First Premiership manager to leave their club (sacked or resign)
Paul Ince, Mark Hughes, Kevin Keegan

First player to be sent off in a Premiership game
Wayne Rooney, John Terry, William Gallas

Non Premiership team to go furthest in the FA Cup
Sheffield Utd, Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham

Non Premiership team to go furthest in the League Cup
Derby, Sheffield Utd, Birmingham

Leading English goalscorer in the 5 World Cup qualifying matches this season
Michael Owen, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney

British team to go furthest in the Champions League
Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool

British team to go furthest in the UEFA Cup
Everton, Villa, Man City

First player to miss a penalty in a Premiership game
Ronaldo, Lampard, Torres

For each question you will make 3 selections.  You will gain points depending on which selection is correct (6 pts for your 1st selection, 3 for your 2nd and 1 for your 3rd)

Changes will be allowed up until the close of entry, especially as there are League Cup matches next midweek.

I dont have an account on Tilt, so all monies will need to go to Stars.

My Stars username is Matth50, location Crawley

I'll be in this please. entries to follow

Just for clarification so that everyone understands how it will work.  You make 3 selections for each question.  For example Question 1 - First player to score a hat-trick in a premiership game.
You choose:
1) Rooney
2) Torres
3) Gerrard

If Rooney gets the first hat-trick you score 6 pts, if it is Torres you get 3 pts and if it is Gerrard you get 1 point.

No further points are then awarded, irrespective of whether any more hat-tricks are scored by any of your players.

So only 1 of your selections can gain you points, but you gain more points if it is your first choice rather than your second or third.

If 2 players or teams achieve the same thing on the same day the winning player or team will be the one that happens first, whether that be in an earlier kick off, or if the 2 games kick off at the same time then the team or player that achieve it first.

If 2 teams/players tie for any answer then points will be divided by the number of winning teams.
For example, if 4 non prem teams made the quarter finals of the FA cup and all lost then if you had selected one of them you would get a quarter of any points due to you.

If anyone has any questions on any of the rules then please ask - would rather it got cleared up before the season started.

Money shipped on Stars.

So far we have 12 entries and a total prize pool of $240.

The monies will be awarded for the following finishing positions:

1st - $120
2nd - $60
3rd - $40

And last place will win $20 and their money back. This ensures that even if you dont get many of the early selections right you still have a bit of interest!!!

If there are any late entries then of each $20 entry fee paid, $12 will go to 1st, $5 to 2nd and $3 to 3rd.

Cheers for sorting this Matt.

GL all.

Just for clarification, the following 5 questions;
First hat-trick
First sending off
First player to miss penalty
First team to score 5 goals
First managerial change

If no-one has any of the correct answers (i.e agbonlahor to score first hat-trick) then it will carry over to the second player to score until somebody is correct.

With regards to the other questions, if nobody has the correct guesses then no points will be awarded.

Hope this is okay with everyone, as it keeps the interest going a bit longer.

Confirmed prize payouts:
1st - $120
2nd - $60
3rd - $40

And last place will win $20


Well the first weekend of the season didnt see anyone pick up any points.  Tighty would have been hoping that Dean Ashton could add to his early brace to secure the first hat trick points, whilst no-one had Agbonlahor so the quest for points will continue.

Yesterday saw a few people with hopes at half-time of Chelsea scoring 5 goals but it wasnt to be, but both Pelham Boy and Nakor would have had high hopes when Aston Villa got their fourth goal with 15 minutes still to play.

No sending offs and no missed penalties, so after the first weekend of games no points have been scored.

so who is leading the table at the mo then?

The second weekend of the Premiership season has seen the opening points in the prediction competition, as both Steelio and Rookie (Rodney) gained 1 pt for having Kevin Nolan as their 3rd choice to miss the first penalty.

Nobody had Marc Noble of West Ham to be the first player sent off so that question will roll over to the next player.

Table:

Steelio                1
Rookie(Rodney)   1
DaveShoelace     0
TightEnd             0
Dino1980            0
TheChipPrince     0
Pelham Boy         0
Kinboshi              0
Matt50                0
ChipRich             0
Cia260895          0
Nakor                 0

I run so bad.  I pick three West Ham players in the 'first to be sent off' - and still didn't pick the right one!

rotflmfao

Wigan banged in 5 goals, and Amdy Faye of Stoke was sent off, but no points were scored by anyone this weekend.

This week sees the attention turn to the leading England goalscorer.  Those with Michael Owen as a pick will not be best pleased.

... or Gerrard.

Once again, fk my life.

wtf does cappello know anyway ffs heskey/jenas but no owen cmon

+1

oops, +2

Ship the 3 points for keegan

Maybe not just yet steelio

waheyyyyyyyyyyyy

[  ] you wernt counting ur winnings already and thinking what to spend it on

gg

Would love it if Curbs got the hump and quit by lunch!

lol [  ] me 2

Im sweating on Hodgson, Megson and Southgate to get gone.

gglife

Premature ejectulations.

Hahaha, too slow to edit the post

even more lololololololol, cant help it... 6 points?

Send them here too LOL

LOL - I didn't pick Curbs, but that's funny.

Alan Curbishley's resignation means lots of points for some - and unfortunately no points for others  ;frustrated;


Table:

Steelio                7
Rookie(Rodney)   7
Dino1980            6
TheChipPrince     6
Cia260895          6
Nakor                 6
Pelham Boy         3
Kinboshi              0
Matt50                0
ChipRich             0
DaveShoelace      0
TightEnd             0

So Steelio did even better out of Curbs leaving than if Keegan had.  Who's laughing now!

sighh

I had neither.  So you can all laugh at me.  For a change.

 rotflmfao rotflmfao @ kin

Yaaay, Adabayour gets a hattrick, that gets me some points yes?

Adebayor's hat-trick saw 5 players pick up points, and as no-one had Guthrie or Vidic to be sent off, DaveShoelace was the only one to pick up any points in the first player to be sent off by picking John Terry.  Updated table below, with 4 of the 10 events decided so far.





Table:

Steelio               13
Dino1980           12
DaveShoelace      9
Rookie(Rodney)   7
Cia260895          6
Nakor                 6
TheChipPrince     6
Matt50                6
PelhamBoy          3
ChipRich             3
Kinboshi              0
TightEnd             0

Terry's appeal worked, so thats back open

He was sent off though.  Doesn't help me, but i don't think appeals should be taken into account.

+1

Yeah we have to go with the first player sent off so Terry will still count.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Man City's 6-0 win over Portsmouth saw DaveShoelace pick up another point with Man City as his 3rd selection.



Table:

Steelio               13
Dino1980           12
DaveShoelace     10

weeeeeeeeeeee

Didnt Tighty and Kin bother submitting a team in the end then??

Nightmare.

League One prediction league next please.

[ ] Colchester are doing well...

We are there next Tuesday, watch them start performing then. Happens every time

Going to the new stadium?

Yes, to tick it off the list

N1, was at Rochdale on sat, another ticked off mine, albeit i'm only in the 40's...

p.s Carlisle/Leicester tickets pleeeeeeeeeeease! Should be an absolute corker, two footballing teams

LOL 


Have you scouted us yet this season? Interested in your thoughts

No, dont play you till mid-december so havent seen Leicester at all yet this season... Also the chief scout lives in Stamford so generally he would see more of them than me... I'll keep you posted dont worry whenver i do see them...

did any of you hear about the brighton game?

LOL, 9 men>>>>>>>>>>11 men...

ya 2 players sent off in first 15 minutes and then they go on to win 1-0

one of brighton players making hand signals at the die hard fans LOL

so when is the next action time??

Derby's run to the semi-final of the League Cup saw DaveShoelace pick up another 3 points (they were tied with Burnley) and go joint top of the table with Steelio.
With the Champions League and UEFA cup due to get back under way soon, it looks like it is going to be a tight finish.
Especially at the bottom between Tighty and Kin to see who wins their money back!!!!


Table:

Steelio               13
DaveShoelace     13
Dino1980           12
Rookie(Rodney)   7
Cia260895          6
Nakor                 6
TheChipPrince     6
Matt50                6
PelhamBoy          3
ChipRich             3
Kinboshi              0
TightEnd             0

Which categories are left?

Forgot about this, think these are the ones left, Matt will have to confirm

Leading English goalscorer in the 5 World Cup qualifying matches this season
British team to go furthest in the Champions League
British team to go furthest in the UEFA Cup
Non Prem team to go furthest in FA Cup

Right, i have updated the table with the UEFA cup and FA cup results.
No-one managed to pick up points in the FA cup with Coventry having the best run of all non premiership sides.
In the UEFA cup Rookie picked up 3 points by picking Man City to be the best placed British side.  There was 1 point each for DaveShoelace, Steelio and TheChipPrince, and also their first points to Tightend and Kinboshi  ;)



Table:

Steelio               14
DaveShoelace     14
Dino1980           12
Rookie(Rodney)   10
TheChipPrince     7
Cia260895          6
Nakor                 6
Matt50                6
PelhamBoy          3
ChipRich             3
Kinboshi              1
TightEnd             1

With just 2 events to be completed it looks like Steelio is going to win it as he has Rooney to be top england goalscorer in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Bollocks, is there owt for 2nd like?

Final table below - congratulations to Steelio on winning.

1st - Steelio 23pts $120
2nd - dino1980 21pts $60
=3rd - DaveShoelace 18pts $20
=3rd - Matt50 18pts $20  :D
5th - TheChipPrince 16pts
6th - cia260895 15pts
7th - Rookie (Rodney) 13pts
8th - Nakor 12pts
