Ok then!
I was thinking about how to liven up the forum a bit, as it's been a bit quiet of late... So, here's what I'm thinking about:
THE DEAL-EYE REVIVAL WORLD CUP SPECIAL TOURNAMENT!Basically, I propose that this takes place while the World Cup is going on (that is,
12 June to 13 July inclusive).
SO, let's go through the rules NOW and then hopefully everything will be clear in 3 weeks time (should you wish to enter of course, but with a potential
GRAND PRIZE FUND, why wouldn't you?
)
DEAL-EYE: GAME RULES 1. As before, with Deal-Eye Bet! Each player is given
20 points to start with, predicting whether it'll be a WIN, LOSS or DRAW for the system... (the gamble threshold for DE and Box 23 will be ACB's set figure of
£5,140.92, for argument's sake)
HOWEVER, unlike before,
you won't be getting any more points this time, and it'll be the
player with the most points at the end of 13 July (after the Final) that wins, so BET CAREFULLY!
2. As this is a WORLD CUP SPECIAL, I will also be asking for your
FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS for the day's fixtures this time. This isn't a bet, but just a scoreline prediction, eg. England 2, Italy 1.
If you're correct, you score 3 points and these are SAFE, and a tally is kept in a separate table. England games will be worth 6 points if correct, the Final will be worth 9 points for correct predictions, and if by some absolute MIRACLE, England are in the Final, it'll be 18 points for correct predictions.
3. As the competition enters the knock-out stage, you will have different options for your FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS:
a) You can continue to predict scorelines after 90 minutes/ normal time, 3 if correct (unless England, as above)
b) You can just predict the match will be
resolved in EXTRA TIME (and
NOT go to penalties), and if you're right, 3 Points (England rules as above)
c) You can predict the match to go to PENALTIES, 3 points if right (again, England rules applicable)
*Only one of these options.
4. The winner of the Deal-Eye competition will be the player that has
the most points combined from the main bets AND the football predictions. e.g. if you have 10 betting points left and 15 from your football predictions, your overall score is 25. TIP: This is a marathon, not a sprint this time!
5. There is ONE FINAL TWIST you'll need to consider, but we'll come back to that a bit later!
PRIZE FUND RULESOK! On to the important details! The PRIZE MONEY!!
This starts on 12 June at £2, and is adjusted according to the results of Box 23 as follows:
DOUBLE = Adds £2 to prize pool
+£10k = Adds £1
MONEY BACK = No change
HALF = Take off £1
NOTHING = Take off £2
Should the prize pool stand at nothing on a particular day, the half/nothing values will have no negative effect.
Should there be nothing in the prize pool at the conclusion of the competition (13 July), the winner will still receive £1.HOWEVER! If you have Ten Football Prediction Points (or more), you can trade these in to play a NO LOSE, then on the next occasion HALF or NOTHING comes up, it will have no effect to the prize fund! Simply be the first player to shout
NO LOSE on the
MAIN THREAD before the day's Deal game (at least half an hour before the show) for this to be in effect. If two or more players decide to do this on the same day, ONLY the first will count.
All Predictions via PM before 3PM, the results will go up straight after the Football, or following morning, then betting opens. You can submit Football predictions up to half an hour before the first kick-off of the day, if you wish to do those separately.
OK! That's it! 3 Weeks to try and work this lot out, should you wish to enter!
GOOD LUCK!
Any questions...?

This is also despite the fact that Deal-Eye would've gone to the end in over half the games this year.
