Prediction League Stevie G predictiooo league - Carlisle & Villa

It would have to be with one selected bookie to keep it easier. Maybe the game host selects the best we can take and lists them?

 

FFS...

 

I would say this would take the game runner ages to do calculating everything out but seeing that Biscan has nothing to do all day long but chat on this thread i'm sure he'd love to do it

 

As Astro said, C&P from one site and that's what we're allowed to use. Plenty of time to think on this anyway as it wouldn't be until next season.

Someone ran a game last year were all we had to do was pick one winning side from the ten PL fixtures each week. If you failed then you were out. I think the game lasted about four weeks

 

Simplicity is best. Make the win/lose/draw based on betting odds. For goalscorer make it simpler.

2 to 1 for a striker.
4 to 1 for a midfielder.
6 to 1 for a defender.
100 to 1 for a goalkeeper.

But adjust the odds for specific individuals in rare circumstances (like we get another Suarez).

 

that's effectively what we do now but with points. Much better using proper odds. Just predicting a Liverpool loss wouldn't gain much so to get a step on others you would have to do something else to boost it.

 

The new game could start new year / new manager

The survival games are good and you can have a couple a season

 

Is that you volunteering to run it?

 

I think would have to do it so that can only bet on scores up to 3-3... Otherwise you get too many permutations.

 

then my outrageous pool to lose bets will have great odds and be worth the punt

 

Yes. But I think if you switch to odds for every single player you're making things way too complicated for Biscan.

Just use the William Hill (or whoever) for team win/lose/draw. Make scorer simpler.

 

Scores would be easy to C&P. It's other things such as combo's that would need to be eliminated. Bet on the game result or scorer, but not a combined bet. People could opt to split their money and do both but they'd need to be treated as separate bets to avoid it getting too complicated.

 

Or people can post their bet and provide a link to where they got it from. Biscan (or whoever) merely as to record it then

 

Think that would be easiest to sort out. The odds (which change all the time) taken the week before with a W/D/L. F the scores and goalscorers etc.

 

Or we scrap the traditional prediction league now and start new one from next week as you all hate my league so much anyway

Or part betting and part points/income.



You bet on W/L/D. (up to £10). Earn reward based on odds at time IBWT creates thread.

You get £1 just for posting a bet.(to help people not go to £0.

Also. You don't bet on Scorer/Score but receive a fixed bonus. £1 for getting home team goals correct. £1 for getting away team goals correct. Or £5 for getting both home and away correct.

£5 for getting scorer right.

That way if you lose all your money betting you have a way back into the game with the fixed money part.

 

Is it any surprise that you deluded ****s are ****ing crap at predicting the results of Liverpool games?

 

To be fair. I always predict we'll lose now. That way I'm not disappointed when we achieve a draw.

 

I was going to edit my last comment [and then I stopped for my dinner] to say, props to you for taking the time to run the league - while we all sit back and moan
