To celebrate the return of Google ads (yay!) does this idea for a game work?

People have to predict the result (W, D, L) of the 9 remaining Albion league fixtures.

The winner is the person who gets the most right. In the (very likely) event of a tie, there is a tie-breaker. The tie-breaker is how many goals the Albion will score in those 9 games.

£100 to the winner, or divided amongst the joint winners.

Don't predict on this thread - I'm just testing to see if there's something obvious I've not considered.

Sounds good to me, better than that last comp that rolled over 1000 times

Sounds good - maybe rather than the total number of goals you could have the scores predicted instead which would give more room for decisions regarding ties (I know that's treading on [MENTION=12697]Steve Foster[/MENTION]'s Prediction Leagues toes though )

Simple, easy to separate the ties, sounds like a winner. I actually like the Vicente idea - how many starts as a second tiebreaker, just in case the winners have predicted the same number of goals as well. Or they could just share the loot of course.

Given there was blind panic last week about whether NSC would survive, wouldn't it be prudent to hold onto the cash?

Are g****e ads some kind of highly strung, attention seeking, strumpet?

They see to dump us when ever they feel like it, before jumping back into bed when hoops have been jumped through.

Between 0 and 1 I'd say.

Unless the results are especially predictable (which is rare in football!), there is a very good chance that nobody will predict all 9 results correctly.

...and the problem with that is?
