I'll have a go at that betting game. I rarely visit that forum though. I virtually never visit Moopy now.
There were 2 correct predictions for Greece vs Spain, and I think 6 for Russia vs Portugal, and not that many players, so don't expect a big pay-off.
The standings will be posted later. The last set of fixtures for the first round will be officially posted on all the boards tomorrow morning.

You can bet on Italy v Sweden at the mo as that is the only ongoing bet...Will add more footy ones later.

The three above us on 21 have not got any right yet, but they betted on 2 fewer games.
Next time I run one of these things, if you start late you will be given 1K for each remaining game, and if you start the game you will continue to lose 1K a game whether you bet or not.
That money will go to the house to help them support the extra 20% being given out.
But that will be next time I run this game. This time I have to stick by the rules I started with at the outset.
I also thought that maybe next time I run this, the house can make a bigger contribution. Maybe 110%. That number will allow divisions by 7 as well. (At present the contribution of 20% takes the whole figure to 120% which is divisible by all numbers from 1 to 6 as well as 8, 10 and 12).

I will have a go on the Gubbins bet.
I don't think I'll get enough interest in a game like this until the 2006 World Cup. We'll all have to wait another 2 years.

I don't think I could get enough players to keep going in this game on a regular basis.
I haven't seen the golden-goal.co.uk site. Most of the score-guessing games I have seen are points-based, and your score is not based on what anyone else has guessed. Usually there are also lesser scores for correct results etc.
At the moment Denmark are 1-0 up. Hopefully it will stay that way...

if we could get the others to bet.
I will run around the sites checking for late bets, then do the round up after the last 4 games. I did finally get a pay-out though for yesterday's game between Italy and Sweden.

Your flag has gone NM? You'd have 6-8 people here and 5 from chart refugees, sounds enough to run a game to me, plus you could pick people up as we go along, or we could PM people here and at chart refugees who might be interested and get em playing every week?
