OK, sweepstakes time for the World Cup. Instead of picking a team, you're picking players who you think will be the top goalscorer, but the catch is that you only pick a letter and your picks are confined to everyone who's surname begins with that letter. e.g if you pick 'R' you get Rooney, Ronaldo etc.
Wherever there might be any ambiguity as to a players name, we're using the name they are more commonly known by. Some examples of this are most of the Brazilians, Pedro Rodríguez Ledesma (Pedro) and Alexis Alejandro Sánchez (Sanchez)
Entry is $40 or €30. Just 1 entry per person for the first 2 days, and if not sold out, players can buy another share if they wish. All money must be escrowed before the draw begins* and i can take on Stars (FlushdrawIRE), Boyles (€) or Skrill (€). PM me for details if you require it.
*Players that are known and have a decent post count can get a few days leeway to pay up, but players not well known will need to pay up asap to save them getting a shitty letter and choosing not to play.
There are 18** places available and prizes will be as follows.
1st - $430
2nd - $230
3rd - $60
- If players tie on the same number of goals, cash will be divided equally.
- All players will be randomly drawn from the hat, and this is the order in which they will get to choose their preferred letter. Obviously the higher you get picked, the more chance you have of getting a decent selection.
**The reason there are only 18 picks, is because in the betting for Top Goalscorer for the World Cup, a player beginning with E, I, J, Q, U, W, X, Y or Z doesn't appear in the top ~50 in the betting, so i am grouping all of these letters together as 1 pick, so if could be a good risk as a pick, or a bad one! (different bookies have different prices obviously so i used the order they are listed on oddschecker)
So who's in?
P.S I also have another idea for a €20 a head sweepstakes where everyone will be randomly given a team, and then there will be 20+ prizes of between €20-€40 for random things like Most Goals, Fastest Goal, First Red Card, First missed Penalty, First OG etc, so that even if you get a crap team, you can still have a sweat.
I'm in for both so
