Title: Last Man Standing - Football Betting Game
Post by: scotty2hatty on September 22, 2009, 07:57:04 PM
Last Man Standing is a simple game, all you have to do to stay in the game is select a team that is going to win. If you select a losing team, you're out. The LMS scoops the lot.

I propose a $20 game to start this Saturday. Transfers to scotty2hatty on FT, or thanx4chips on Stars. Be good to get a good few in this.

Rules

1. You must select a team to win in any game from England (EPL down to League 2) or Scotland (SPL down to 3rd Division) each weekend.

2. The game must be a 3pm KO.

3. You cannot select the same team twice.

4. All selections to me by 12pm on the Saturday. I will then post selections on the public forum. If you forget to pick a selection, you are eliminated. You are also eliminated if you pick a team you have selected in a previous week or chose a team not in a 3pm KO.

5. If your selection wins, you move on to the following week. If your team loses or draws, you are out.

6. Game finishes when only one player remains.

I may play or I may just forget

2 questions

-do abandoned/postponed games mean you lose?
-if all remaining players pick a loser do they play again the next week or is it a chop?

knew i'd miss a few points

1. Rare occurance but obv unfair to lose in this situation. If player can't be contacted to change selection, then we'll have to let them pick a Sunday alternative surely.

2. play again til last man standing.

and play imo.

Post by: scotty2hatty on September 22, 2009, 10:06:32 PM
Posting on forum is fine I suppose, was mainly to avoid any tactical play.

The timing thing was so I could have everyone's selection before I go out and then list 'em on the forum. How about 12? You can select before the Saturday obv.

EDIT: on second thoughts, I really think PMing is better for the game, sorry.

Yup there running one every week apparently last weeks one had 800+ runners, it's saying 10k for the winner but im not sure if they're adding money to the prizepool or what the story is, i cant find anything on it about the payout, and god knows how long they go on for but i spose for a tenner its a good sweat if i can get a run in it!

5. If your selection wins, you move on to the following week. If your team loses, you are out.

And if it's a draw?

If you forget to pick a selection, you are eliminated. You are also eliminated if you pick a team you have selected in a previous week or chose a team not in a 3pm KO.


This seems a bit harsh to me,surely you will be keeping track of who we pick so if we do pick the same team then you will inform us so we can change, also if someone forgets to pick a team in any given week then imo that player should be just assigned a team alphabetically that they havent used , seems fairer than just eliminating someone.

Remembering who you've picked before is part of the game. As is remembering to pick a team.

I'll post my selection the thread as early in the week as I can for as long as I am in so to avoid any arguments of me having an advantage. I'll post it in minisucle text though.

Why would it be hassle?

All he would have to do is come onto the thread after the game finishes and check peoples selections.  Going to be more hassle getting everything via PM.
