I will be taking part in a world cup competition, name the correct score for every game.
It's 3 points for a correct score and 1 point for a correct result.
eg
England 2 v USA O would be 4 points if I put 2-0 it would 1 point if I'd had 1-0.
what should my tactics be? I realise 1-1 would be a popular low price fancy but am I handicapping myself by putting a draw? Would the smart choice be to go for a result in all games or should I include some draws?

Put up the score that is the shortest price, be it 1-0, 2-0, or 1-1.

Don't think that's quite the best tactic Ken. Best to avoid the draw altogether as even if 1-1 happens to be the shortest Correct Score, you are better off going for the most likely scoreline for the favourite to win as then you have all the other scores running for you to get the 1pt for correct result.
Only exception is if the draw is a carve-up in the final group game, but that's very rare. |

I think KNIGHT is right. I did a bit more research and draws are not that common, and i'd rather have 3-0 running for me than 3-3 for the extra point

If you get the same points for a 1-0, 2-0, 1-1 as a 3-2, 2-3, 3-3 etc, then the former has to be the call, for the simple reason that they will happen more often. Hard to see any argument against that unless I am missing something.
