Instead of two. Correct score = 2 points in total.

Ha, way to go Switzerland. 2-1 over Ecuador.

Another two pointer for me. :D

I had a feeling all week it would be very tight, too bad I didn't listen to myself and bet that score, the odds were great.

Picking games with a point spread makes more sense than betting exact scores.
Do World Cup matches not normally get bet with a +/- like American sports?

You should have suggested before rules were set and confirmed.
Relax, it's just a game :)

Am I kicking ass so far? By my count I've got five exactly right thus far.

Someone please, tell me I'm kicking ass. :D

You are kicking ass.

Football guru :thumbsup

See? Aren't you glad I asked for at least a point when you pick the correct Winner or Draw?

With the old rules you would be getting a big fat ZERO :winkwink:

Indeed. :winkwink:


Looking forward to Germany vs Portugal in less than 2hrs from now. Should be a cracker! :thumbsup

10 points after 11 games :)
Anyone perfect so far? I lost 3 but guessed 2 exact :-P

Round 2 fixtures are in THIS thread:

https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1143218


Get those scores in before Brazil kick off tomorrow. :warning

Yeah that was a cracker! :1orglaugh
For a minute there I though the Portuguese were gonna fight each other, and oh yeah Ronaldo needs to stop taking every Free Kick.
Don't get me started on Pepe...

Mueller is becoming one of the top divers in the world. Congrats to him

ready for Round 2 !!!

So 1st round ends.... Belgium did back 2 back and won 2-1....

ROUND 2 starts in 50 minutes with Brazil - Mexico !!!

Good Luck 2 all!

Shouldn't we be picking scores for the next round of games?


Hello? Anyone? Did I miss some vital detail?

I picked... and oooppssss we have 1 more game Russia - N. Korea for the 1st round...

yes. this.

Crap I totally missed that post. I thought it was all going to be done in this thread.

:(

time for tables....

any tables posted?

dunno but the bookies must be loving this world cup :warning

Yeah, what's up with that?
If OP can not do I can do calculations manually. I am willing to donate 1 hour of my time to GFy community. :1orglaugh
I already did some calculations for my curiosity after 12 games :)

Since the games are overlapping i am waiting till the group stages are complete before putting up the tables. Don't worry they are being counted as we go along.

People have been posting some results, and then the rest a day later so rather than have tables with incorrect points at that current time and people conplaining, it's best to let the group stage pass, and then release them from there.

Especially since there will be a couple of days without any games at that point.

Everyone remember though to check the new thread with Round 3 which will be up tomorrow. Rather than people looking here yet again for the next fixtures...

The only reason all games were not in this thread is because a few people asked for a new thread with each round of games.

So don't blame me if you miss it... :)

Damn, I missed the 2nd round thread. Oh well.

Sorry, but you are looking for complications when there are none.

Just post results for the 1st round games. 16 games posted in this thread.
Then after 2nd round is finished, post results counting those 16 games in that other thread.
And so on.

There is absolutely no confusion in doing this as it is the most natural and expected thing :) Even you yourself were planning to do so:

did I win anything?

I also think this is the best way ...

lol, lot of bitching for a free contest that someone else has to take the time out of his day to do. Holy fuck this place amazes me :1orglaugh

The thing is that he said that he would post them:

So everybody got excited and now are waiting for them. I would not call anybody bitching.

And even more - I said that I could do calculations for the first round if OP is busy. Mine would be "unofficial" results as Op would need to confirm them, but still - it is more interesting/exciting when you know your results and so on.

Ps: I already did calculations after 12 games to see where I stand. After 16 games I assume myself somewhere in 20th place so I am out of the race for the prize, but I am willing to do calculations just for other people who are waiting.

Exactly.

Nobody cares.

Ross and Scott can run this contest however they want. If they decide to tabulate results in 2018... say thank you and stfu about it. As long as the results are in before the next world cup starts, they did a great job with it. :2 cents:

No shit huh ? :1orglaugh


Anyway yes i have been rather busy with something i'm working on at present, but as has already been said, all the scores have been tracked so far.

We had 58 entries in this thread.

Rather than list the entire lot at this stage, here are your early leaders:


1 - PhadPanda 16 points
2 - PR Glen 15 points
3 - AllAboutCams 15 points
4 - CD Smith 14 points
5 - Roald 14 points
6 - Evy97 14 points
7 - DjRoof 13 points
8 - Sage 13 points
9 - Poppy 13 points
10 - Relentless 13 points

Remember this list concludes only the first round of fixtures.

If anyone believes they have been miscalculated, just leave a post here, and it will be double-checked.


So don't get your panties in a twist, (mineistaken)... :winkwink:

I'm in the top 10 and just 3 points off the lead? Any of you who watch soccer every year and are trailing me should be ashamed. See, I even called it soccer! I watch the world cup once every four years. Hell, I even picked Costa Rica to win a game. Pick up your game gents... me winning this is the sort of stain your national heritage simply can not allow. :pimp

I think you were the only one. Maybe that's why you are in the top 10... :1orglaugh

Not just on GFY. I checked. I was the only one anywhere. Even the mothers of players on the Costa Rican team bet heavily on their opponent :winkwink:
