Groundhog63 Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Areet Anyone interested in joining in? For those unaware, it's a football prediction comp. Basically pick a team to win their fixture each round. If they lose/draw you're out. You can't pick the same team twice. I'm in one already with pals from all over the country, for £10 each, current kitty is about £580 in that one but I'm out. Down to the last 2. If they lose, and there's no winner, it starts again and we have to cough up more However, I'm not expecting to play for money in this one. Not this first game, anyways, purely fun/banter. You have to download the whissol app...... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whissol.app&pcampaignid=web_share And use this code for the group TMWARNLPM It's actually more difficult than it sounds, esp this season's Premier League I've had a look and will, if there's interest, start round1 on 14th/15th/16th* *16th not available on the app yet so will wait.

wormy Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Just need to pick a team each week? Sure, why not. I'm a GamStopping degenerate too so I'm always up for a chance to stake some cash if others are in future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokerprince2004 Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Do a couple of these at work, canny fun. Was me and another lad left for £500 a few months ago and I picked Tottenham to beat Ipswich at home and he had Man Utd to beat Leicester.

Magpie Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 I'm in. Do a different one and it was won just before Christmas, £880 pot 😮 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 In. Should run one for money and one for honor at the same time IMO. Meaning the ones that want to waste their money can do so and the ones that are clever and don't waste money can do so as well, yet both can compete together at the same time. The £ winner is the last man standing of the ones that put £ on, but the "true" victor is the last man standing even if they didn't put any money on.

Groundhog63 Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Tbf, I thought have a fun go then see about a punters game. The one I'm in has cost me a bundle so far 😂 It might only be a £10 but we've had a fair few rollover. One game only lasted 3 rounds 😂😂🙄😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Could perhaps even do it as a semi-fundraiser for the forum; £10 buy-in, £7.50 go to the winner takes all pot and £2.50 go to the running of the forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted January 6, 2025 Share Posted January 6, 2025 Also, given it's football related there might be better luck finding competitors by airing this in the football section Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted January 7, 2025 Share Posted January 7, 2025 So, somehow, the app or something remembers who you have picked ? so that you couldn't keep picking, say, Liverpool every week. Hmm - Would be interesting to see what happens if started at the start of the season and after 20 games there are several people left in - would the system 'restart' ?

South-Cheshire-Toon Posted January 7, 2025 Share Posted January 7, 2025 Interesting round of games - as if you don't win you're out - so many have chances of being draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm - Would be interesting to see what happens if started at the start of the season and after 20 games there are several people left in - would the system 'restart' ? Believe it does. The app definitely remembers which teams you've already used. Of the two lads left in the other one, I'm in, one has used Forest, Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle. The other Man City, Villa, Liverpool and Newcastle. Hard pick for them next round 😂 Edited.... Plus it would need 19 correct answers for a total reset 😂 Unbelievable Jeff Edited January 7, 2025 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
