I've taken Luke's suggestion in the last thread to score 10 for correct result, 40 for exact result. Going to be a big score.

I think it places too much importance on correct scorelines. Do that and you just get everyone predicting different combinations of 1-1/2-1/2-0 scores like Lawro does every week. Plus the 1 point and 3 points fitted in nicely to the league feel.

I'm open to revisiting this. Have added a poll. Will go with the majority <ok>
 
Predicting the exact result is far far harder than the just predicting the result so therefore deserves premium points if you get it right.

I think the differential should be around 10 to 1

Or you could go for awarding points for goals so that if for example you predict West Brom 2 - 1 Sunderland and the score is that you get 3 points for the goals and say 5 for exact result making 8 if the score 2 - 0 you would score 2 for goals and say 2 points for correct result.

Or is that too complex?

Since you ask LOL

Can a mod delete this trouble maker please.

Seriously, yes I've thought about this before. My nested "if" statement is complicated enough for me as it is, and my excel skills may struggle with this. But yes, predicting a team score 2, even the overall score is wrong, should be rewarded.

Im not too sure SD. Even with the league being more unpredictable than ever before, teams are generally unlikely to score more than 3 goals in a game, home or away. So there's a one in four chance of getting the gs correct - pretty similar to the one in three of getting the result correct although the latter is fundamental to the prediction process whereas the former is more like pot luck.

In other news, I've just noticed that I've accidentally wandered into probabilities and should wander back again pronto before I embarrass myself or hurt someone, or both.
