Razzler Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 http://www.footiegamble.com/ Some who have been around a bit may remember this game from previous World Cups, you sign up and get 100,000 (I think) and can then bet on all the games. Get a list of all the fixtures, click on a game, bet on win, lose or draw, first scorer or correct results. You can bet small amounts on all the games, bet on a couple of things in each game, you got 100K to use. When you type the figure in it'll give you the return. IIRC the returns get much bigger later in the rounds so even if you're out of touch can still pull it round with big bets later on. This game disappeared for a bit but always liked it, randomly thought I'd check them out to see if they're doing the World Cup and they are. I'm playing anyway but if a load of us sign up we can start a league and all those shennigans. Seem to remember it being pretty cool last time I played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzler Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Mini-League Name: OTF Gamble Mini-League Password: otf1 Seeing as it's short notice until the start I set up a league, details above. I tend to go with the betting on every game, small bets and the odd big one here and there. Can bet on only 1 or 2 matches if you like but obviously most money tops the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Yeah, wouldn't worry about the odds being realistic too much, bit of fun but it's pretty good, worked well during the last World Cup. I guess even if you miss the first few days it doesn't matter, can still join, you'd be 100K up anyway! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 The overall winner in the game gets some kind of prize, think there's TVs and stuff up for grabs, as for here it's just the respect for your peers for erm, being good at gambling and stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 I think a tactic is to bet on 'sure' things, you won't make much but you won't lose all your 100K as some people actively betting might. I am sure last time we did this someone signed up and didn't bet, so kept the 100K was top for about a week and a half Later on the maximum bet goes right up so you can 'stay in the game' and then bet big later on. I like to bet small on loads of stuff with the odd big one on a correct score. Certainly don't expect to win but if we're logging onto Fantasy League every freaking day for this I thought I'll log into footie gamble too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm gonna end up losing on every game, then getting to about £50k then end up saying "feck it" and betting that on something ridiculous like North Korea beating Brazil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 I just put a low amount on a draw and a few other things. I'm a little up, pretty pointless betting such a small amount but hey, whatever. I'll easy myself into it, don't want to blow my money with big bets early on and be 30K down in about 3 days.

Qolumbo Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 That 10,000 limit is annoying, as I wanted to put more than that on England winning. I suppose I could split it up between various scores, but I can't be bothered to do that. It's even worse for the Brazil - North Korea match, where I'd probably put something like 50,000 on Brazil if it was allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayArr Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I am doing spectacularly bad at this so far. I've only managed to pick one correct result and no accurate scores/first scorer. Already bottom of the OTF league by some distance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
