Premier League Predicto Thread 2017/2018
  • We should have a system whereby my predictions always get me more points than anyone else.
  • No because my predictions get infinity points!
  • And it's only if you don't get the exact score right.

    So in a game that finished 2-0

    A 2-0 prediction would get 3 points
    A 1-0 prediction would get 1 point
    A 3-1 prediction would get 1.5 points

    That skews the prediction game towards 1 goal victory for home side / heavy favourite if away. Predicting a draw is sub optimal now becoz of Ur thicko rules, cos there is only one outcome that yields points (correct prediction).

    I predict a 1-1 (which I do btw, I predict this for all matches all seasons forever fyi), I only have a chance at 3 points or 1 point (for a draw) or zero.

    I predict a narrow win, I have a chance at 3 points plus 0.5 or 1 point plus 0.5. I only get zero for a loss.

    I assume you still get one point for correct result. Doesn't matter if not.

    So if I were to play I would predict home win 1 goal margin for home sides unless they are heavy favourites, then I might go for 2 at home 1 away. I'll collect a few 0s but get so many 3.5 points and 1.5 points I'll just coast to a champions league place.

    OK, this is my favoured scoring system. Let me know what holes are in it.

    Predict correct result and exact score - 2pts
    Predict the correct result but not the exact score - 1pt

    Bonus points - only received if correct result is predicted.

    0.5 for correct home score
    0.5 for correct away team score
    0.5 for the correct margin of victory
  • So if I correctly predict 1-1, I'd get 3 points?

    If I correctly predict 1-0, I'd get 3.5 points?

  • OK, this is my favoured scoring system. Let me know what holes are in it.

    Predict correct result and exact score - 3 pts
    Predict the correct result but not the exact score - 1pt

    Bonus points:

    - correct result and score and at least 4 goals scored: 1 point

    - correct margin between teams 0.5

    (Means 1-1 yields 3.5 or 1.5, 2-1 yields 3.5 or 1.5, 3-2 yields 4.5 or 1.5)

    Good luck to the one counting the points lol

  • I have no fucking idea what the rules are now.
  • You kick the ball unlikely. You kick it as hard as u can

    Full entry or bust imo.

    Hmm, needs tweaking.

    I'm not entering because I can't be arsed so I've no beef either way, but if I were you I'd make it as simple as possible for when you're having to score it. What do the beeb use for their scoring? Wouldn't it be easier for them to do it all? No chance of mistakes then.

    Whatever you decide well done for taking it on, it must be a fucking chore and a half.

    In fact, yeah, that's fine. Draws are much easier to predict correctly than a winning score line, and as such get rewarded 0.5 less.
