The system is flawed and I am amazed no one realized that yet!

How come the one with most points win?
Does this mean if I successfully predicted 6 home wins and 2 away wins I would still not have chance against someone who just predicted 3 score draw?

No wonder why AVS put all 3's !!! you shouldnt be laughing at his predictions, its smart..


Shouldnt it be to the one with total points nearer to the actual total after last day?

Edit: or is this kind of a set game you know? because honestly, I havent heard about pools before..

Yep, the aim of the pools is to try to predict score draws wherever possible.

I thought the same when I saw it. Having said that, I bet he's never won the pools using that system, nor has anybody else.

The pools system is weird mate, they even used to have a 'Pools Panel' who would sit if a lot of games were called off, the panel would decide the outcome of each game, when I was a kid I used to get annoyed if they decided that City would have lost as I thought the result counted!

what? the max capacity of the 10 stads hosting these games is at 400k.

I'd rather wait till after the weekend to put my predictions because it might have a say on results and attendances.

Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.
