Should be an 8 point day, instead, 4, and I'm 6 behind the leader instead of 2.Last edited by Lord Sir Banter; 30-06-10, 05:51.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

Yep, I agree it is stupid. The only thing is that it is the same for everyone (as in everyone runs the risk of this when they predict a draw). The only thing now is to not predict a draw anymore I guess.
If we has discussed this earlier properly we could have decided that knockout scores were correct after 90 mins or 120 mins and update the scoes to reflect it, but it is probably too late now.

It's only really the same for anyone who put a draw down for this match (draws had value till the knock outs).
It sucks to be one of the few test cases (and right behind the chipleader), now people just know not to put a draw in the knock out stages as you are opting for 0 points. It's not a risk, it's a guarantee.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

Extra time being counted isn't beyond the realms of sense, counting penalties is just pure nutty and it isn't something I considered as a risk, as it's just mental, it makes predicting a draw beyond the group stakes an automatic 0 points and negates their purpose completely - yet allows you to do it.
I mean, there are only 3 outcomes in a match, and it has made one of them obsolete half way through the tournament.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.

In fairness to you ,rigger and Kev, you've all done very well with your predictions which can be very difficult in alot of these games.
I'd love to see how you all would have done placing equal bets on every game for the correct scores, pretty sure you'd have all come out well on top.
We should perhaps get something going for the premiership after this.We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

wtf..
An English football fan has told Sky News how a World Cup bet left him feeling a million dollars.
Mike McNally, 29, from Bradford, West Yorks, scooped the £650,000 jackpot (worth $1m) after predicting the most winners of the tournament matches.
The business graduate correctly forecasted 36 out of the 64 results - more than any other punter in the world - to triumph in the online competition.
