Euro 2004 "Tote" game

[Earl Purple]

This is a prediction game, played for fun only. You are given 31K (virtual money) and place a bet of 1K on each game. The house donates 20% in addition to all bets, and the pot is split between the winners.

All you have to do is guess the score for each game. The game is being run on a few other sites too, as a single game - it is better if there are more players...

These are the first fixtures. You have up to kick-off time to guess the scores. Please note that kick-off times listed are in Portuguese time which is the same as the UK, and 5 hours ahead of EDT, 8 hours ahead of PDT. So for a game that kicks off in Portugal at 17:00 you must place your bet by 9am if you live in California and by midday if you live in New York.

If you miss the start of this event, it is not too late to join later on. You will still be able to bet on the later matches.

These are the first fixtures:

June 12:
Group A
1700 Portugal v Greece Dragao, Porto
1945 Spain v Russia Faro

June 13
Group B
1700 Switzerland v Croatia Leiria
1945 France v England Luz, Lisbon

June 14
Group C
1700 Denmark v Italy Guimaraes
1945 Sweden v Bulgaria Jose Alvalade, Lisbon

June 15
Group D
1700 Czech Republic v Latvia Aveiro
1945 Germany v Holland Dragao, Porto

I just saw this, and I'd like to play, even tho it seems not many people is interested... probably because its a weekend... Just give it some time. If not, I'll play anyway, Ok?

BTW, I'd have bet 1-0 for Spain, hehe. My boys just won their first game, so I'm feeling lucky...

[Earl Purple]

you can still bet on the last 6 of those games. Too late for the Saturday games now though.

I'm rounding up all the bets now. But it seems nobody predicted the Greek win (nobody predicted Greece to win at all, particularly by that score). So the Spain vs Russia one was actually a rollover.

Sunday 27 June
19:45 Czech Republic 1 vs 2 Denmark

[glamour-gal]

portugal vs holland 4:2

greece vs czech republic 1:2

[muffins]

OK, I can't bet on the Portugal v Holland match because it's nearly finished lol! But if I can bet on the other one then I predict:
Czech Republic 2-0 Greece

[Earl Purple]

yeah I forgot to tell you what the semifinals were but you managed to work it out and bet anyway.

The final is Portugal vs Greece. I will post the latest standings before the game

Sunday 4 July 19:45: Portugal vs Greece

[muffins]

I'm gonna go for the reverse of the opening game:
Portugal 2-1 Greece

[glamour-gal]

it would have been 2:1 for portugal.
....lol... greece proved us all wrong!
