Nice one ud, good call

Spain v Italy 1v1

I'm going to be rooting for Italy to win, we're so used to seeing Italian sides play the defensive game it's refreshing how they went about the Germans, there is real quality in the side.

I think Spain have taken this possession game too far, it might be effective but it's no longer so pretty to watch, their talent is unquestionable though and maybe they've saved the best 'til last.

I'll probably back 1v2 although the head tells me 1v1, I just hope it's a good final.

Good luck with your final picks.

I`m in the Spanish camp here. You`ll see a different Spain in the final, i think they`ll tear Italy apart and score a few along the way.

Spain 3-0 Italy

It`s been a great comp ud/all, win lose or draw it`s been fun. Thanks for all your work.

Top comp UD , many thanks

Spain 0 Italy 0

thanks

Prices for Spain v Italy:

Match odds - 2.18H, 4.3A, 3.2D
Correct Scores
0v0 - 7, 0v1 - 10, 0v2 - 25, 0v3 - 100, 1v0 - 6.6, 1v1 - 7.6, 1v2 - 20, 1v3 - 55, 2v0 - 9.8, 2v1 - 12, 2v2 - 29, 2v3 - 90, 3v0 - 28, 3v1 - 26, 3v2 - 65, 3v3 - 150, any unq - 23

In the end I've just put a fiver on 2v2 for interest, was going to back Italy 2v1 but missed the 20 on here and hate taking lower odds.

Just hope the game opens up a bit and we get a classic.

Well done ud.

Thanks again for running it.

Well done ud, great winning total. I`ll get you next time

Another fantastic comp run superbly.

Just testing

Some little kick around in June, think I'll do a comp along these lines

World Cup 2014 Competition

(Proposed) Rules:

Predict the correct score for each match.
The choices are as per the main Betfair Correct Score market, so scores above 3 goals to either side will count as "any unquoted"
You will also have an automatic entry for the match odds based on your correct score pick, pretty obviously 2v0, 2v1 etc will be the "HOME" team win, 0v0, 1v1 etc will be DRAW.
If you choose "any unquoted", then please also specify "home" draw or "away" (as per the order the teams are shown on Betfair markets) or simply specify the team to win.
Prices used will be those from Betfair - I'll copy the back side of the correct score and match odds markets and post them as and when I get the chance, it might be the evening before a match or it might be on the day, a few hours before.

Points will be awarded to Betair prices (ignoring commission) to a 10pt stake on correct score, and a 30pt stake on match odds.
If you miss a game you lose the 10 + 30 stake except that,
of the 48 group stage games, only your 40 best match returns will count towards your points total, so you could miss up to 8 games without penalty (other than missing an opportunity to score).
All 16 knockout stage matches will be compulsory.

You can post your entries whenever you like, up to each match scheduled kick-off time.

Count me in as usual Undecided

Happy with the best 40 results counting
be interesting as to wen you will be applying it to the running totals - after the 7th game or at the end

I`m back off holiday June 13th so count me in please ud.

yes shane, you can kick us off, I haven't got around to starting a new thread so just plonk them here.

Mind you, I`m not one for superstition, it only brings you bad luck

Just thinking if there is any point to only counting the best 40 scores from the 48 group stage matches. The idea was to give a breather to players who didn't want to or couldn't cover every match but in the end everyone will just have 8 x -40 (can't see anyone getting more than 40 right).

It would only work if restricting everyone to 40 picks and I don't want to do that.
