ostulc [del] to All
Dear friends,
I am glad to announce you that the system for the new football pool is quite ready :) As you already know, it will be really different from the one we used last season.
Each round, there will be a set of matches. You will be able to select some of them, check your expected result and submit your bet. You are not limited in the amount of tickets you will create.

We have already prepared the first round for you. But - this round won't have any impact on final results. This one is just for you to get familiar with the system. And also for me - If you encounter any problem or bug please tell me about it... I will have to fix it for the first regular round :)

Of course there is a lot more to tell you about. About rewards, more rules and so on. I guess that Mysi will tell you more, because he still has a little bit clearer idea about it :)

Now it's time to show you the link: http://sokker.4fan.cz/pool

I hope you will enjoy it! :)

Well, I'd write something here.

So, brand new football pool is here! As ostulc said, it will be much different than last season. So here's something about it.

Basicly, the whole thing isn't anymore like '' guess-the-result ''. It will be closer to real world, and it will be played with that 1-X-2 system. So you pick the winner, or you pick the draw. Then there are coefficients. As in real world, smaller coefficient for a favor, and a bigger for the team that wouldn't be suggested to win. You see these all on the web site.

Every round starts at monday 6PM, and the deadline is at midnight between Thursday and Friday. Between those dates, you've got your time to create you tickets, and edit them to the best fit. We'll put on the lists 15 matches for 1 week.

At the beginning you've got 40 credits. With those credits you play. Your bet for one ticket can be 1, or it can be 7 or 13 or 40 credits. Anything you want, as long as your credits do not end. You'll as well get 5 credits per week, so your gaming wont end if you get out of credits.

And as in real life betting, for a win, you have to get all matches right in 1 ticket. Sure you can make 1 match tickets, or full list tickets. But if you make that 1 match ticket, and the coefficient for the winner is 2,50 and your bet is 1 credit, you hit, your reward will be 2,50 credits. But if you pick 3 matches, whichs coefficient's are 2,65, 4,15 and 1,95, your reward will be CxCxC = X, if you hit it right. So in this case, 2,65x4,15x1,95 = 21,4. So if you bet here 3 credits, your reward will be 64,3.

These were actually the basics of the game. If you don't understand something, just put your questions in this topic.

Best of regards

Now something about rewards :) You will be allowed to nominate certain number of players for the last match of the season. So how will it work?

In the end we will get some table, for example:

demetris 40
orestios 37
panahand 26
Lorenzos 23
Giorgos Papas 17

then we will proportionally calculate the amount of players each one will nominate. Total amount of credits is 143 so it will look as follows:

demetris (40 / 143) * 11 = 3.07 -> floor down = 3
orestios 2.84 -> 2
panahand 2 -> 2
Lorenzos 1.76 -> 1
Giorgos Papas 1.3 -> 1

As you have seen, some of the users were punished much more than others by the flooring down... And as you see, we have just 9 nominated players so far... That means that we can distribute these players among those users... :) So in the end it looks like this:

demetris 3
orestios 3
panahand 2
Lorenzos 2
Giorgos Papas 1

PS: Don't take those results personally, I just wanted to add some example and I didn't want to name them user1, user2 and so on :)

Here we have the results of the testing round, don't worry the balances will be reset before the competition :)

ostulc 176.240625
orestios 40
panahand 40
Nostalgie 40
Giorgos Papas 30
Mysi 25

Most of you had problems with entering your tickets, so I am going to make an image guide for you... Some parts of the site may have been confusing...
2010-11-20 08:18:20
Hey man. I have just seen the results and I think I have predicted them all correct. I used 10 credits. What have I done wrong?
2010-11-20 11:26:28
I took a look at it and perhaps you (aswell as orestios) haven't checked the checkbox next to the matches you wanted to predict... (you can of course select more matches than one as I did in the following example)



Moreover I noticed that nobody has used more tickets than one... You can click on "create ticket" link more than once :) So that you can create predict different sets of matches :)
2010-11-20 11:32:29
You are right. I placed my prediction but not ticked the box.
2010-11-20 11:40:31
I know, I realized that it may be quite confusing.... I should place there some kind of hint to it :) But don't worry, it was just a testing round to resolve such problems... :)
2010-11-20 21:53:12
So I hope I have finished that site :) From now on, you should be able to review your past tickets and you should be notified about possible problems you may encounter...

Now I am going to create new testing round to be sure that there won't be any problems :) I have added 30 credits to your account so you may try it :) (and please do it :))
2010-11-20 22:23:52
I see that most of you are using just one ticket... You can create much more tickets per one group and you can distribute your bets among them... So if you don't manage to predict all matches on one ticket you still have the chance to be successful with the other one :)
2010-11-22 18:23:35
I have evaluated the second testing round so you can check if everything is OK :) Next time it will be a part of the competition already!
2010-11-30 19:21:40
I see that nobody of you have posted his tickets yet! You have still time until Friday 11a.m. so don't forget to participate! :)
