"Goalfest --- Advantage for people who bet"

I was talking to DW, and he's come up with the idea of having 10 points for every bet that you make. This will give an advantage for people that bet.


So, what do you lot think?


I say it would be a good idea

So what if I win, but "secretly" lose; all the while, I lose 3 points; minus the deducted 10 points which would be added on to the further 5 point loss I would incorparate because I didn't bet.

What then, eh?

:D

Okay, let me put it into simple form.

You bet whatever you like, as per usual. At the end of each bet, Foreman *secretly* adds 10 points onto all the scores of the people who betted in the last Goalfest. So, if you bother to bet, you gain 10 points where as if you can't be arsed to bet, you don't gain any points. Got it?

I bet 20 points on 3 goals. I lose. I lose 20 points, whilst gaining 10.

so does this mean that for each bet we make we get 10 points win or lose?

if yes, then will we get like say if youv'ebetter 10 times will you get an extra 100 points?

I suppose it's a good idea, "in theory".

Take from that what you will.

:P

Yar, 'tis a good idea.

What I mean is that for every bet that you make, you will gain 10 points.

You don't get it my friend.

For every bet you make, you automatically get 10 points.

You can still bet as many points as you like, but after each bet, you pick up 10 points. That means:

The people who bet more then other people who are higher in the league then them have more chance.

Nobody can lose all their points.

it is good inorder to keep people from betting silly amounts but for poor people at the bottom of the league its hard to increase up the league without betting alot of points

maybe .....

have only the top 2 leagues restricted to 10points

and the other leagues as many

I agree!

I agree!
