View Full Version : World Cup Prediction Game
Following on from Roger’s sweepstake idea I thought some of you might want to take part in a game to predict the results of the World Cup games. There’s a website I’ve used before called SportGuru that runs competitions for sports predictions. I entered the World T20 Cricket competition and came 23rd, albeit there were only about 1,200 players.
They’ve set a game up for the World Cup and it’s a bit different to the usual Fantasy Games where you pick an actual team and get points for goals, clean sheets etc. In this one you just have to predict the result of each game, e.g. England 3 USA 1.
You get a point for correctly predicting the winner of each game, or a draw, and if you get this right you can earn further points for getting the score right or the winning margin. For instance, in the example above if England were to win 2-0 you get an extra 0.5 point for getting the goal difference right. If they were to win 3-2 you get 0.25 of a point for getting the number of England goals right. There are also bonus points available for the best predictions in our private league.
This all seems a bit complicated, and actually it is, but there’s no need to worry about that, all you have to do is to log on to the site and predict the result of each game. You don‘t need to be around a PC for every game as you can enter your picks in advance, say once a week.
I’ve set up a private league on the site called Pubs Galore Forum. All you need to do is to go to this web page and register (http://www.sportguru.co.uk/worldcup/) (you don’t get loads of spam) then click on the Join a Pool link and you‘ll see a box asking you for a code. Enter the code ‘bilebrow’ and you’ll be in, and can see which other PuG members are playing. Let me know when you have as I probably need to accept you into the league.
Thanks for setting that up, I've just joined.
Could be quite fun to see how badly lacking my knowledge of international football is!! :muppet:

Have you signed up Roger's world cup sweepstakes? It is free you know
He is out of numbers.
Oh bad luck.. I was looking foward to you join sweepstakes.
Never mind eh?
Spares me the embarrassment of having to look up on a map where the country I have drawn is :D
Strongers, Conrad and Dave have been accepted into the league so we are currently four. All are welcome, plenty of time to go.
My temproray internet connection is drifting in and out of consciousness so I'll have a longer look at it when I am at work tomorrow but I'm sure I'll be part of it!

This should be most enjoyable Millay, thanks for setting it up.
It seems to view others' predictions you don't go to an individual profile, but to the 'results' tab above the list of group members - makes sense as you can then view all predictions for each game in one place.
Watched World Cup 'shocks' (shockers?) last night and the nerves finally started to tingle - getting close!
By the way, that argie break away that they nearly scored from in '98 after they disallowed Sol's goal coz their keeper barged into Alan Shearer; well although Anderton, of all people, made a great interception in the box their striker was miles offside - in the box with defenders a yard outside when the ball is played - play with the freeze-frame here (3:20 onwards)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv8mdGoQLqE&NR=1

Just worried that last 16 starts before we get back, so may not get first couple of predictions on.
All may not be lost Gill, there is a system whereby the site will allocate a default pick if you miss one. I think you get 5 default picks in total and the pick allocated to you will be a win for the team that is highest in the world rankings.
I am going to struggle to get the remaining predictions in as well as we will be beyond Hadrians Wall where electricity hasn't been invented yet. Hopefully I can rub a few sticks together to generate some kind of power to wire up the laptop.

I see we have just delboy & Conrad playing their hand close to their chest in delaying selection of the first tranche of games - evidently waiting for news of further training injuries which could sway the balance...
A few others have not yet populated what the site refers to as 'round2' - don't forget that is just terminology for the later of the first tranche games. Understandable to wait for the 2nd wave of games (#s 17-32) to assess (hahaha) first match performances but, if you aint gonna be around (Roger), you may want to complete scores to a certain date.
Who knows newcomer tonytequila?

I've done all the group matches as I probably won't get a chance to do them later on. Will be back for the second phase when hopefully I will have a bit more reasoning behind my judgement!
Who knows newcomer tonytequila?
I was going to ask the same thing. His profile says he’s an American working in the oil & gas industry in Lagos. He’s played SportGuru games before so may have somehow stumbled upon our pool and decided to join. I’m not inclined to accept him into the fold unless he is actual a PG Forum user.
So Tonytequila, if you’re out there declare yourself and I’ll happily approve your application.

I noticed some instances where 'margin points' were not awarded for the correct score of one of the teams (0.25pt) but now conclude that these apply only if the win/draw result has been correctly forecast.

Have to admit my attempts are proving fairly pathetic.

Yes, you're right trainman, if you don't get the 'win team 1 - draw- win team 2' result right then you get no points. If you do get it right you get 1pt. Then get 0.5pt if you also got the goal difference right and 0.25pt for each team where you got the correct number of goals. So if you get the score spot on you should get 2pts.
Then there's the bonus points allocated between our pool, but don't ask me how to work that one out :confused:
Strongers
14-06-2010, 20:30
I think that the person nearest to the correct result gets a bonus point, and if there are more than one the point is split 0.5, 0.33, 0.25.. Could be wrong though!
Well something else I have to be grateful to Soup for. There is someone on here worse than me at predicting International Football results.

I'd be doing really well if the matches only lasted 80 minutes - Once again a late goal has made my maximum points turn into a big fat zero!

Due to work commitments, or lack of them, i have watched every game but apart from the Germany match and perhaps the first game there is nowt to shout about.

I've seen hem all for the same reason and I have to agree that the vast majority of games are rubbish. I enjoyed the Germany game and The Argie game was good along with the performance of a lifetime from the North Koreans tonight. Hopefully the nerves will go and we'll have some great second round group games.

Now done. Been away for the last few days in Bavaria for a sales conference. According to our German continental colleagues the rest of us might as well go home now, they have it in the bag..
I did try and explain that the rest of Europe will really enjoy watching a German team start very well and then implode in the quarters instead of their usual approach of being shit but efficient in scraping through 1-0 all the way to the final.

I would like to say that my predictions have been spot on - it is their performances that have been s***! In truth, i play better than i predict - i played a 5aside with Andy Ven last night, i predicted a 0-0 draw..... it was 63-41 at the end!
It doesn't de-value my PG reports does it?
Oh, and OB sends his best to all, i met him at the Black Country Museum yesterday and had a couple at the Bottle n Glass:)
Congratulations to Gill who has leapt to the top of the league after predicting a draw in the England v Algeria game, a triumph for reality over hope I suppose. Hondo was the only other one to predict a draw and he is currently top scorer in Round 4 and aiming for the Yellow Cap. Current Yellow Cap holder Strongers has been falling down the league and is clearly feeding Lucy duff information just to stay ahead of her.
There are a few people who haven’t yet made their picks for Round 5 which starts tomorrow so don’t miss out.

As its been such a beery week I am having difficulty thinking more than one day in advance at the moment, so am doing them on the morning of the games. I know that's a high risk strategy if I don't make it home from the night before, but it's working so far.
And thank you for spotting my recent surge to the top of the table, which was largely due to being the only one to predict Japans victory last night. As I work for a Japanese company this was a decision made with the heart rather than the head..
And as it worked I've done it again by predicting Chile to beat Spain.....;)

With the knockout stage starting tomorrow, I only just found out via that email that results will be decided by the score after extra-time, if played. I would've assumed that the 90 minute result was what we were guessing, so just to let you all know if, like me, you didn't already.
It seems if you pick a draw, you then get the option to choose the penalty shoot-out winner or something. It's getting confusing now, I'm off for a beer.
Well, at least it makes the England game easy to predict...
1-1 after full time and extra time, Germany to win on penalties....
I really should read that Positive Thinking Self Help book again.................:(
I really don't get this negativity, probably helps that I have only come to football in the last decade though.
I did like the observation on the radio that Germany had not beaten England in open play since 1970 (I think that is right).

Only in finals, Conrad - Germany beat England 1-0 at Wembley in that game which led to Kevin Keegan resigning in the toilet. The 3 times they have met in the final stages competitions since 1970 have all been drawn - 1982, 1990 and 1996. So England haven't beaten Germany either.

To ensure England progress to the next stage i will pick Germany to win in the prediction game. Cant fail.
I said I liked the observation, I didn't say it was true :o
Pretty poor effort though, that will teach me to listen to TalkSport, although changing channel would have required working out the radio in the loaner I was using.
Don't like this Wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_and_Germany_football_rivalry#All_matches_b etween_England_and_German_teams), genuinely though I haven't been that impressed by the German team recently, sadly the same can be said of the English side, I do think it will come down to who fires on the day.
Also the first half of the Brazil match just had me getting fed up of the Portuguese moaners, second half is just sending me to sleep, soon be beer O'Clock.

I did wonder how this would work in the knockout stage and think you are spot on with this EG. I guess with extra time counting it takes the draw further out of the equation and could lead to higher scoring results - that's my theory anyway.

And an excellent plan it proved to be! I reckon that is 3 points to you, 1.75 for me and nothing for the rest. Now where is that smug looking smiley! :D
That Holland result puts Grailhunter and Dave in 5th and 6th respectively. Evil Gazebo now top followed by Pubsignman and Gann. In fact there’s only about four points separating the top 6 so all to play for, especially as the points for correct predictions increase as we get to the later stages of the tournament.
There are only four of us who have made our predictions for the semi-finals so far so get your picks in soon. First game is tomorrow Tuesday 6th and the second game the following day. Both kick-off at 7.30pm, unless of course you are in a Wetherspoons who, according to their fixture cards and some posters I saw yesterday, seem to think the games start at 3pm.
I’m one of the few who went for Uruguay in the first semi-final, I really thought they had a good chance. It’s now 3-1 to Holland and I’m feeling a bit :o:o
Grailhunter is the only one right on the money if the score stays as it is.

Belated congratulations to Pubsignman - I was in 2nd place behind him going into the final, so needed to better his prediction to win. I submitted my 1-0 to Spain, to discover his prediction was ... 1-0 to Spain! So I knew I had no chance before the game even kicked off.
Well done again, and thanks to Millay for the initial idea - I'd never heard of SportGuru before, and thought it was a great competition.
Yeah, well done Millay, it was good fun and I am rubbish :)

Thanks EG. There were four or five people who could have still won the league going into the last game, so it was a close run thing.
And thanks also to Millay for setting up the league. Do they do one for any of the football leagues?
RogerB has set up a Fantasy Football League (http://forums.pubsgalore.co.uk/showthread.php?3049-Pubs-Galore-Fantasy-Football-League-2010-11) which is for premiership players. Not quite a pools approach but should be good fun, and I can assure that I will be just as gifted at that.
