It shouldn't matter if you were betting on the top two or the bottom two, just make it the games that you guys think will be the closest.

a) I agree keep it to 6 or so games. While I'm interested in the idea, there is no way I could be stuffed analysing 18 games every week!

b) re margins, could you do it in a similar fashion to the way most footy tipping comps are run. That is, have one game (the game of the round) where a margin tip is required. This would act as a tie breaker for the round (most tips + closest to the margin for the round wins) and could also act as a season tie breaker in the event that two or more teams are tied.

guessing margins is something we do in our 3.12 comp.. we had 2 correct guesses last nite, and a couple just off.. it adds to the excitement to get a correct guess, and it could also be a way to have 1 clear winner..

happy to do whatever the people vote for :D


Yeah, agreed that margins makes it more interesting. I think if you limit it to a certain number of games (I think you guy suggested 6?), then that will definitely increase the chances of guys sticking with it.

Excellent idea mllama. Pick six winners with one game needing a margin.

Alright, at first I thought was a tipping contest for NBA but then I realised it the PL games. There're too many teams for us to tip so how about we tip on NBA games?

It could just be set up with a couple of games from each league each week.
