WC2010 Predictions?!?

by Rafiki • 26 May 2010, 13:49 • Journals

Hello Crossfire,

I'm working a bit on the upcoming Crossfire World Cup 2010 prediction script, but I still need to resolve some minor bugs before releasing the script.
In 2006, this game was a great success on crossfire so I think we can take it to a next level ;)

My idea:
Everyone is free to play the prediction game but users also have the possibility to make a paid entry into the game. Only these users can make some money... the more the merrier ofcourse! I can guarantee you all, it's not about making profit for myself or crossfire, just a fair betting game for all the interested football lovers.
Let's say the prizemoney will go to the top 3 'paid' users after the world cup is done.

* 5 euro to make an entry
* only 1 entry / user
* only registered crossfire users can play
* winner takes (50%) 2nd (30%) 3rd (20%) (Minus paypal cutting%)

My question:
- Do you like the general idea?
- Would you p[L]ay??

Gimme some feedback please

Great idea! Keep it up!

Yes i love the idea, yes id play but no id never pay.

nice banner,
but i wouldnt pay, since i dont gamble/bet in general :o

NICE !
I will fail really hard :p

I wouldnt pay, just make it free 0_o

My answers to your questions:
- yes
- yes

We do something like this in work, everbody puts in £10 and bets on a team each week. But we do it so winner takes all!

wouldnt pay, do not trust

who is so stupid to pay -_-

It's quite normal 0o

Parent

would pay & play !

U gonna steal our money and buy beer with it, ik heb u wel door!

yes
no, cos I won't win

yes yes :)

yes
no, no way of transferring money online :(

same

Parent

yes.

also make a free tournament!

learn to read!

Parent

Yeah, nice idea :)

yes
na

sounds cool :) i would pay

this week i filled in my team for the world cup in the news paper.
i'm pretty sure i'm gonna win it xD:p

Goalie: Lloris
defenders: cannavaro, lucio, lahm, terry
midfielders: touré, walcott, gattuso, rodriguez
strikers: villa, forlan

bench: mandamda, heinze, cammoranesi, higuain

i'm so gonna get money xD

defense is Okay
midfield = Fail
strikers = Okay

So my suggestion: Replace walcott & gattuso for sure
Though the game above is about results, not about players ;)

Parent

rafiki i only got 250 points :p so that were the best guys with not that much points cause my strikers and defence are kinda high point nerds :p so cant rlly replace them xD/p

Parent

No Dutchies :(?

Parent

who would i take from the netherlands then :p

Parent

V Persie, Sneijder, Robben, V/d Vaart, V Bommel, De Jong, Heitinga. (Dunno how many points each of them are but Heitinga should be cheap but it's a solid defender).

Parent

my defence and strikers are just the best they have :p

and midfielders like robben and sneijder were to much points, i would put robben in it but didnt had points, cause my bench is crap then xD:p

Parent

Replace Cannavaro with Heitinga and Lahm with Maicon and put a better midfielder in obviously!

Parent

maicon is 36 points lol xD
if i would put him in it with my strikers vila:40 points, forlan:31 points
i wont have points for something else xD

Parent

Why put in Forlan? Uruguay won't go far! :P Or put in Suarez obviously!

Parent

doesnt matter if they go trough is he scores some goals in the group fase it's ok i still have higuain as replacement from argentina xD

Parent

You have a weird choice :(

Parent

and tbh cause suarez scored alot of goals in dutch competition, I dont see him doing against defenders like lucio, maicon, terry and shit like that tbh :)

Parent

:P We'll see! I hope he doesn't do to well because I want him to stay at Ajax, but he might be a surprise for a lot of people.

Parent

:p suarez aint used to play vs defenders that aint afraid to use their body like walls xD:p

Parent

Zuid Amerikaanse competities zijn de hardste die er bestaan.. Geloof me nou maar dat hij echt wel wat gewend is.

Parent

ja kzie hem al tegen lucio aanlopen xD

Parent

Lucio is echt een faler van het leven. Die dolt hij 8 keer en scoort hem dan met zn linker kleine teentje. Mark my words.

Parent

But gattuso isn't a goal scorer and takes too many yellow/reds. Walcott won't be first choice so I'd change them with 'playing' or 'goalscoring' midfielders

Parent

walcott is just for the assist :p gattuso is more defending, the paper rates the player preformance so ye gatusso is a machine working all over the field will get some rating anyway =)

Parent

What's the point of having both Lloris and Mandanda? Both won't get the chance to play anyway...

Parent

who will be first in french team then, and since mandanda is cheap on points i could get higuain as striker on the bench lol

Parent

Oh, I figured that Lloris would be number 1, but yeah since France has 3 very good keepers, it is quite hard to predict who will be their number 1. I mean you are pretty screwed if Domenech decides to field Carrasso instead :)

Parent

i still think lloris is best french goalie tbh :)

Parent

Yeah I agree, Mandanda is a bit too unstable for me.

Parent

welke gazet?

Parent

het laatste nieuws

Parent

Gatusso? Walcott? Cannavaro?

Parent

cant see D. alves

Parent

nice idea

will pay and play for shizzle

I'd play for moneys, what are we talking here guessing scorelines for every match?

Be nice to have a guess at top goal scorer, most yellow cards, and stuff like that too!

or fantasy football?

result prediction :)
e.g. 5 points if you can get the correct score & 3 points if you can guess the outcome (win/draw/loss)
Still need to make the rules :)

Parent

who is stupid enough to trust in someone, like transfer money, on the internetz? lold

We'll see ;)

Parent

yes because i'd be outraged if i was to lose 5 euro..

Parent

ok gimme 5 euro then

Parent

You that desperate for money? You need to look up the differences between losing and giving away money.

Parent

no but if you don't mind.. 5 € is not that much but if you don't want it gimme lol. giving away and losing it stupidly is the same thing.

Parent

no, no they aren't, and Rafiki is/was one of the coders for this website.

Parent

Rafiki is not just anyone...

Parent

I like the idea as i played ur first predictions game.

I wouldnt pay. if i wanted to bet (or whatever) i'd do it elsewhere.

oh yeah just one question, if noone of the top 3 is guys who paid money, who gets the money?

QuoteOnly these users can make some money...

QuoteLet's say the prizemoney will go to the top 3 'paid' users after the world cup is done

Parent

What Fizmo said ;)

Parent

this sounds interesting!

Parent

Count me in!
(pay)

Yeah would be awesome!

Here's my fantasy team I've done!

Casillas

Johnson Lahm Evra Ramos

Kaka Xavi Sneijder

Messi Villa V.Persie

3 backs in one team?

Parent

4 :D

Parent

I don't know Johnson :<

Parent

Glen Johnson, Englands right back!

Parent

Liverpools star right back you mean :D

Parent

Liver who? :D

Parent

Last time was great. Won't pay though.

need free game ofc
