Title: Goals Goals Goals - Predict and Win
Post by: BorntoBubble on September 28, 2015, 12:52:23 PM
For now I am just going to gauge interest in this as I would like at least 15 entries to make this worthwhile.

Competition

Predict the total number of goals across England and Scotland from Friday to Monday each week.

Leagues

  • English Premiership
  • English Championship
  • English League One
  • English League Two
  • Scottish Premiership
  • Scottish Championship
  • Scottish League One
  • Scottish League Two

Rules

  • £5 per entry
  • Maximum 2 entries per person
  • 80% of the prize pool will be paid out to the nearest guess
  • 20% of the prize pool will be paid out to the person who guesses exactly correct, this will rollover each week until somebody gets it correct
  • In the event of a tie the prize money will be split between all winners
  • If the correct answer is 100 and two people guess 98 and 102 then the prize money will be split between these two entries
  • Anybody can enter at any point regardless of whether they have played in the previous weeks or not
  • I will not be entering and my decision will be final in the event of a dispute
  • Money can be paid via Bank or Stars (with a preference for Bank)



Guesses are to be posted in this thread or messaged to me each week and the deadline will be 7pm on Friday night.

I will post a spreadsheet link which will detail list of entries and list of games being played. It will also detail prize money and if I am available over the weekend I will post updates. Otherwise I will endeavour to do an update every Monday before the Monday night game so we know who everyone is sweating.

Any questions please ask.

Any rules clarifications please ask.

Would rather get everything sorted before we go "live" as I have never run a competition like this before.

Does not seem to be much enthusiasm yet for this Callum, but I appreciate the intent.

Maybe thin it down to EPL only, so it is not so daunting, & we can sweat the results easier, maybe climaxing on MNF?

Could do that and possibly do £10 in and two entries per person.

Was trying to make it tougher to add to the "rollover" potential, if this happened for 5-10 weeks we could have had a nice juicy pot going. That was the plan anyway.

the more leagues the easier it becomes as there is less variance

This is not true.

Callum,

It's a real shame this has not captured the imagination the way you hoped, because I appreciate you were trying to help rev things up.

Not sure why, but I think the best competitions these days are really simple one-liners which take little or no effort.

Might still be worth just making it EPL, Saturday/Sunday/Monday, ending with, hopefully, a bit of a sweat on the Monday. 

Anyway, if you decide to go with Plan A, confirm on here, & I'll send my tenner for two entires. Never know, might be a slow burner.
