KiwiScot 1,660 Posted May 28, 2018 Anyone up for an World cup competition, purely for bragging rights. Footy Tipping.While in Australia I picked up on footy tipping. Basically say for a weekends games of football you predict who wins in each game and get a point for each game you get right. Add them up and get top of the ladder against all your mates.I usually use this onehttp://www.footytips.com.au/home, but found this https://www.faceyoursfears.com/Sorry could not find any decent pictures(or figure out how to add them) to show how it looks.Anyone up for it? If so I''ll create a comp and post the link here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,817 Posted May 31, 2018 I don''t really get how it works buddy but if you set it up with an idiots guide I''ll join in. I''m sure others will too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 31, 2018 I think I''ve worked it out Nutty. Select 2/3 days where there are a few world cup games,predict the scores of those games and get say 3 points for each win or draw you predict correctly and have a league table of who has what points.I think in order to separate the wheat from the chaff it would work better if the scores were predicted ie 1-0 or 2-1 or a draw 1-1 0-0 etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwans Big Toe 356 Posted May 31, 2018 I half expected this to be a preemptive thread about reimbursing the England fans that will shell out their hard earned cash to get to Russia only to be let down again by the national side. [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,660 Posted June 3, 2018 Right I set up a competition(just for fun, no mony involved). Will see if anyone joins. I will post a guide in due course as it helps to see some pics of how it looks.http://www.footytips.com.au/comps/Canaries_Go_to_Russia_2018Password is canaries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiwiScot 1,660 Posted June 3, 2018 World Cup Tipping Guide - A "7 round" competition where you predict who wins each game and whoever has the most correct predications wins. No money, No prizes involved.1:StartFirst register on the site, then go to the comp website and join the comp.http://www.footytips.com.au/comps/Canaries_Go_to_Russia_2018When you sign up to the comp enter the Password - canariesThen you will asked if admin(me) can edit/enter your tips, whether I can see your email address and some question about newsfeed activity.I generally say no to all of this.2:How to Enter you TipsFrom the main comp page to enter your "Tips" i.e. selections look for the red button pictured.[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/username101010/1_zps4c4fxyww.jpg[/img]You''ll be show a layout which is for the 1st round of group matches. See here I''ve selected Russia to beat Saudi Arabia by 3 goals, uruguay just to win and Morocco and Iran to draw. If Russia, Urguay and the draw happen I will get 3 points. Enter all your selections and scroll down and press "submit tips". You can go back at any point at any point to change your tips except when the game is actually being played.[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/username101010/2_zps4cuxq2xn.jpg[/img]3:The MarginThe margin helps seperate people level on points. The lower the margin the better.Now in the first match pictured above I selected Russia to win by 3 goals.Thats the margin and you can only select a margin for the first game in each round. If the result is 2:0 to Russia I have a margin of 1. If however Russia lost 2:0 the margin would be 5. Prediction(3) + Actual(2) = 54:Ladder(Leaderboard)Here you can see the ladder to show how you are doing and how many points you have total and where you are in the ladder. When the game has kicked off it displays everybody selections as a flag for the country you''ve selected.[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/username101010/3_zpsncfgxrxk.jpg[/img]5:One thing its important not to forget.Basically don''t forget to enter your tips. If you don''t you get zero points for each match you don''t. Plus something a lot of people miss is not entering tips for the next round. You can''t enter tips for the last 16 matches etc until the previous round is finished.Also you can enter tips for all 3 rounds of group matches, but some people miss that because the link does not stand out very well. Below is what you are looking for.[img]http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/oo211/username101010/4%20-%20Copy_zps7hlvtkdy.jpg[/img]So if you want to join feel free and post in the forum you have.

That way you get a zero margin score and you make up the point lost in other games. I won''t be doing that as its basically cheating in my book. Now everybody knows ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
