Sign me up for all three mentioned gambling pools.
Put me down for the Premier League one at £25 for 100%.
Unsure on the World Cup one (don’t like intl. footy) & I’ll join the £100 Premier League one if we can get near 10 of us. I’m not keen to play if it’s only 4 or 5 of us but will defo join if we get around 10 because there would be a nice jackpot then.

Does anyone want to join in a gambling pool for the upcoming FIFA World Cup? I previously ran one for last year's Premier League
here which was a great success, but I am looking to organise one for the upcoming FIFA tournament and next year's Premier League now.
World Cup:
We will probably be using the two predictors on the Official FIFA Website for the World Cup. One is roughly the same as the Premier League where you pick the correct scores for every game and the other is a bracket challenge where you guess how teams will place in the group stage and then how they progress through the tournament and various points are awarded for predicting each. At the end of the tournament we will add both scores together and the winner will obviously be the person who gets the most total.
Bracket challenge is here if you wanna check it out: https://bracketchallenge.fifa.com/

The fee will again probably be around £25 in bitcoin to join the pool and it will probably be a winner takes all format. I will probably do a couple runner up prizes as well but this depends on how many people join in. The Premier League pool attracted 23 players paying out prizes for the top five places so hopefully we can do something similar with this but we have less than a month to organise it.
If you're willing to join in the pools at around £25 in bitcoin then please state your interest and what pool you'd like to join in this thread. Thanks.

Points and Scoring
For each match, points are awarded for:
Predicting the correct scoreline;
Predicting the correct result;
Predicting the correct margin of victory; and
Predicting the correct number of goals scored.
For each points category listed above (excluding number of goals scored) you will earn a score between 1 to 100 points (the exact amount awarded will depend on the number of other participants who also made the correct prediction). The lower the number of participants who make a correct prediction, the more points will be awarded.
A guide to the number of points which can be earned for each prediction is displayed on the FIFA World Cup™ Match Predictor page under each prediction bracket. Points will be updated 'live' while the match is in progress.
Bonus Points
You will only be able to answer bonus questions once the line-ups have been announced, from around 60 minutes before the match in question begins until kick-off.
For each correctly answered bonus question, you will earn an additional 30 points.
Joker
For every 2018 FIFA World Cup™ matchday, you can assign one prediction to be your joker. A correct joker prediction will result in any points awarded for that match being doubled!
