PL 26/27 STAKE
Just drafted out a new adventurous prediction game for interested players.
CHECK IT OUT!!!

HOW THE GAME WORKS:

Every player gets a membership price of 100 coins (which you will use to stake on matches) that you will build on by staking them on matches.
It works just like betting.
Each gameweek, you stake a maximum of 5 coins on each match and stand a chance to have it doubled if you get the right prediction.

For Example:
Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal (3)
It means that the number in the bracket is how much you are staking in the match and if your score is correct, you will have it doubled to 6 coins which will count in your balance (Balances are updated twice in a gameweek, first after a player makes a prediction and later after that gameweek is over)

This game also features two stake options; you either make a correct score prediction or a correct result prediction. You can't use the two for the same match.

For Example:
1. Chelsea 2-2 Arsenal (3)
2. Brentford v (W) Liverpool (3)
3. Brighton (draw) Tottenham (3)

The first game shows a correct score prediction while the second and third game shows correct result predictions with the second game a win prediction and the third one a draw prediction.
NB: PLAYERS SHOULD TRY TO PREDICT WITH THAT TYPING ORDER STATED ABOVE.

Any coin staked on a game that you fail the prediction, you will automatically lose that coin.
I repeat, "MAXIMUM COIN TO STAKE IS 5."
You may choose to stake 1 coin on one match and stake 3 on the other. It's up to you but mind you, if you get too stingy with your stakes, you won't earn big points even with correct predictions as only the coin you staked gets doubled. So you are adviced to stake wisely.
IF YOU GET UNLUCKY AND STAKE OUT ALL YOUR COINS WITHOUT EARNING ANY BACK, YOU WILL BE GIFTED AN EXTRA 50 COINS TO INVEST ON.

If their is any question partaining to the game plan or rules, feel free to ask your questions.

Very good Jepco

I suspect, though, that managers will have enough on their plates with the 2 prediction games alreading going for this season.

That's a nice point. But it is only by choice and the gaming styles are totally different. PL STAKE is more like betting. And the plan is fun. Mind you, the other two games are updated by only one player. So why not give it a go?
Hours or Days without matches are boring. Even on matchdays, the fun only lasts for 1hr 45mins of game time and you spend the rest of your day going from this to that. The season is also wrapping up so what is the harm in having an 'escape route' cleared up for players with nothing on their to do lists.

LETS GO!

I may have missed something.

A correct score (so 2-2) is double your stake. So stake 5, get 10 back (or get 15? 10+original stake)

A correct result (a draw) - what does that win?

Staking your coin means you are forefeiting in order to have a doubled return. So if u stake a match with 5 coins, if your prediction goes wrong, you have lost that 5 coins. But if you get your prediction, you will have 10 coins.

Coming to your second question, Predicting a game correctly as draw earns you double of what you staked.

For example;
Arsenal (draw) Chelsea (3)

Then after the match, the two team draw 0-0, 1-1, 2-2 etc, you will earn 6 coins regardless of the actual draw figure.
But if you play a correct score of 2-2 and they draw 1-1 or 3-3, you will lose the coin as your prediction didn't match the exact score. Playing correct results looks safer but playing correct score is more fun. It makes you feel like a 'prophet' lol!

At what point are you going to realise that nobody else wants to play the game? You could easily play this just by yourself with pen and paper.

It's not a bad idea but isn't it just the same as the other game but with imaginary coins??

I don't play either and I'm not really a betting man but if I did and was, I'd make sure to be doing them with real money at the bookies aswell because if anyone gets a clean sweep one day, you'll be rolling in it
