@fcr: Yeh it is a good idea but I just can't think of anything.

Fastest booking

Hmm.. Yeah I'm sure somebody can come up with something cool, I also struggle to find one except most yellow cards in the group stage

If we're paying the best team can we not just pay the worst team as well?

There should be a few nil point you would think, tie breaker least goals scored, least shots, whatever...

we're paying the team with the worst GD

I see.

**** knows then.

worst disciplinary record could be fun. doesnt rule oit middle teams like worst gd or team does. So if you draw Switzerland you are not drawing dead

Yeah I quite like the dirtiest team idea.

With Xhaka on the team you're actually drawing quite live

think we are onto something then

i'm waiting to see if and how the other pools fill up before i ship my 25. but i'm in. my money is good here after 7 years of gambling i would think.

Best thing to do for the middle of the road teams is to have a prize for what I call the biggest loser team of the Round of 16.

Basically, this is for the team that loses in the Round of 16, that loses to a team that loses in the quarters, that loses to a team that loses the semi's, that loses the final.

For the 2014 World Cup, that team would have been Greece because

Greece lost to Costa Rica
Costa Rica lost to Netherlands
Netherlands lost to Argentina
Argentina lost to Germany

Basically, if your team makes it to the round of 16, you have a live sweat for at least the quarters if not further, either as still in the comp, or live for this prize.

Also, I am in for the $25, sending now via Stars

The other alternative is to have a bunch of money (say, $100) for teams that finish with exactly 0 GD.

The 100 is split between however many teams have a GD of 0. It might be 100 for one person, it might be $20 each for five.

I like this idea, anyone else agree? Do we drop the first/second payout and have another $75 for this or just double your money for the other three?

In for anything that improves sweat possibilities.

I'm in for any other random or semirandom betting anyone wants. Not in for anything that is too much work (fantasy) or requires too much knowing how good anyone is (top scorer betting etc). Basically I just want sweats and neutral EV gambools.

I had an alternative structure planned il share it when i find it for those who agree

don't have strong feelings either way but Ashley's "worst r16 loser" payout idea is the best I've seen

1X2 sounds ideal for you!

Seems like everyone paying on stars. If i pay PP are you able to pay out winnings in PP? Don't have stars

We could do a separate 25 for non euros and avoid the fees

Yeh, i'll pay out in paypal - but all fees will be covered by the prize pool!

That's fine, fees are minimal

Didn't quite get it at first cause I read it before drinking my morning coffee but agree it's an excellent idea. I would either drop of the 75$ to 50$ or use some of the runner up money

I'm fine with that

+1 for worst r16 loser

Okay, decision made.

Payout will now be:-

Prize Pool: $600
Winner: $250
Runner up: $125
Lowest GD at GS*: $75
Quickest goal scored: $75
Worst R16 loser: $75
