    World Cup Predictions Competition?

    Only a couple of days to go, but if anyone is interested in a $10 a head, winner takes all prediction competition then express your interest here.

    You can make your entry here:



    and you can change each prediction up until the point of kick off, or you can enter for each round as the games become available.

    Post on the thread if you are in before the first game kicks off please.

    Thanks to dannydiamond who is escrowing for this, and escrow details are here:

    Boyles :- 1ForU2ForMe (email ad needed, state if you want to transfer on Boyles and i'll pm you).
    Stars :- Diamondgeeza (location Waterford)
    Fulltilt :- Jackitton

    I'd ask anyone who's transferring to just post in the thread regarding which site you sent the money to and from what username( pm if preferred) and i'll thank the post to confirm.
    The winner should be able to accept payment using at least 1 (but preferably more) of the following: Stars, Full Tilt, PPP, Boyle Poker, Neteller/Moneybookers or Paypal.

    I don't expect a tonne of entries, but hopefully it will be a bit of craic. The scoring in the game is something like:

    4 points for a correct score (i.e. you say it will be 1-2, and it finishes 1-2)
    2 points for the correct winning margin (i.e. you say it will be 1-2, and it finishes 2-3)
    1 point for the correct winner but wrong winning margin (i.e. you say it will be 1-2, and it finishes 1-4)
    0 points for wrong result completely (i.e. you say it will be 1-2, and it finishes 1-1)

    Edit: Obviously anyone can make predictions (there are a couple who have filled it out already) but you can only win the prize if you state on this thread you are in for a tenner.

    btw, for those that might not realise it, you can enter your scores all in advance (although knockout fixtures not available until the teams are known) and then edit them as you go along before kickoff in each match if you wish, or you can just enter them daily only, or in advance only without editing them. As long as the system lets you edit them, edit them.

      Yeah, in for the $10, sounds like good fun.

      I'll escrow if you like Dom.

        You sure? I think my siteban threat would have worked

        If you are sure I will edit the OP. Can you put up some transfer details Danny if you are ok with it?

            There's a built in predictions widget in the forums. See the link in the OP.

              In for $10 deffo.
              Scoring system might need thinking/tweaking, maybe a little more (4 points) for getting the correct score as its such a harder thing to do.
              But in for $10 regardless.

              Can transfer on Stars.



              (I used to do these with a 'joker match' where you select the match you are most sure of as being worth double points to yourself, everyone has one joker. Don't know if your software could handle this).

                  In for this, will ship tonight. Agree that a correct scoreline merits 4 points imo.

                        OK, I'll change so that correct score is 4 points.

                                      I think I put in an entry (I clicked the Save button, and my results get magically saved in the background somewhere against my name, yeah?).

As long as the system lets you edit them, edit them.

                                                                                                                      4 pointer in first game, 2 pointer in second.
                                                                                                                      Don't worry, it'll be like the sheep games for me again - an early lead then a catastrophic midgame collapse.
