World Cup Golden Boot sweepstake

[Wullie]

In

No idea what the rules are but fuck it

 

Goes something like:

 

Give Wullie 2 quid

Wullie gives you the name of some random Saudi you've never heard of

You passionately watch every Saudi Arabia match in the desperate hope of a goal

No goals

Some absolute freak and total weirdo wins all the money

Ah it's random. Do we get to see what the pool of players is? I thought in sweepstakes you have more than one person winning and they just share the prize? I dunno about anyone else but I'd rather a pool of 25 or 50 players and have duplicates, like 2 people per player or something.

I heard it's a sham and a farce and ah...ah..........a sham

Not any sweep I've ever taken part in like, you get your team/horse/player and if they win, you win. I've been doing this at work for a few years because I always hated the WC team sweep, which has about 6 realistic winners out of 32. Anyone can win top scorer with a big performance in a dead rubber (as Salenko did in 94).

 

In your 25/50 player scenario, James Rodriguez would have been lucky to make the 50 at the last World Cup, and nowhere near the 25. He was about 100/1.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Okay, I'm convinced. I'll take 8!

[Wullie]

  I'll put the list up later. The way I did it last time was to assign a random number between 1 and 100 to them all, send my list to someone who's not taking part as an independent observer, then anyone playing chooses their 1 or 2 numbers and I add their player(s) to a list in the OP.

Sounds brilliant!

If you want to win your £2 back i'd suggest you put a bet on me getting the shittest player in the tournament. It's a pretty safe bet.

I'll stick a 5er on Wormy's pick dying on the pitch.

You've not snuck any goalkeepers into the pool, have you? 

[Ikon]

Paypal works I assume? If so I'm in.

Well, why wouldn’t it sell it to you? Semmy just said you will win.

[Guest chopey]

I had Marcus Rashford England and Yevhen Konoplyanka Ukraine Last time

[Mag_in_NZ]

In, I recall I lead it for 1 game last time with some lad who was likely only on holiday.....wonder what happened to him

[SEMTEX]

Also, I demand 2 entries, if you're at that point yet Wullster.

[Incognito]

I'll probably not start taking money and dishing out names until Saturday/Sunday to let a few more friendlies go by in case of late injuries but this is the list. Nee whinging.
