BONANZO: uno jokero (double points)

also if the game you predict to be the match with most amount of goals scored is correct (regardless of exact score/result) you'll get a 10 point bonus, woop-de-doo

in the likely event that this will be shared amongst several games then it will come down to how accurate you are with the score...sounds confusing but don't worry about it for now i'll figure something out

so is it just me or this whole thing losing it's sparkly motion?

being able to predict football scores accurately -> winner at bookies -> lots of money -> buy fast cars.

.
. . girls don't like boys girls like cars and money.

. .
. being able to predict football scores accurately will attract the opposite sex

QED.

And I can disprove ken's theory. The only woman who (inexplicably) finds me attractive is my wife, but if I mention football her eyes glaze over.

Anyway, the battle for the Fantasy Football title is a lot closer.

i was just one goal and the closest away from a goal tally bonus of 59 :( PLUS i would've been able to gamble and boost the score even more...but that would probably arouse suspicion so maybe it's for the best

Arsenal will clinch it at Spurs.

bonus#1 - will Arsenal clinch the title at Spurs? YES

I am happy with the extreme nature of this round (around one third of the entrants will get zero points! The other third, in a double round with three jokers and another bonus and doubling will score huge) as I am in a good to mediocre position and am more keen on the potential gains (could actually move someone into position to challenge James!) than fearing the losses.

Stevem, you are ace! Thanks for all your efforts - I can't believe the work you've put in to this.

As Darren says, looking forward to Euro 2004 edition

currently reluctant to do this again as i have been slack the last few months but i have some ideas on how we can make it more fun and worthwhile (COUGH! MONEY! COUGH!) but we'll see.

i am quite keen on doing a Euro 2004 special tho so look out for that in a few weeks, cheers!

note my massive century-breaker score stems from the fact that i got closest to the goal tally bonus (just two away) so that gave me an extra 35 most welcome points. once again congrats to james ball, mark c, mark h and martin skidmore who all qualify for the Champions League. Darren will have to settle for a UEFA Cup spot. Also a shout to Ken who racked up quite an impressive score having only taken part for around a third of the season.
