Cheers mate. It'll be good for next season.
World Cup Fantasy Gambling Game
2 of 27
First odds should be up tomorrow evening. It is possible it may be quite late though when they do go up, but keep an eye out. I'd say from 9 onwards it is possible you'll see them.
Okay. So I have everything up and running. I am running the game from a website to make life easier for both you guys and myself. Those of you who played my other game, Fantasy Coach, will be familiar with me doing this.
If you want to play, just go to www.fantasygambling.co.uk and fill in the 5 registration boxes. There is one that asks for your email. If you could all put your username with "@digitalspy.co.uk" after it into these boxes as I don't actually wants your emails, I just set it up this way in case I open the site up beyond Digital Spy and need to verify users.
There isn't much on the site right now. I hurriedly put it together in a few weeks, but it does the job. That said, there may be a few problems that arise, so if you spot any, please let me know.
I've only loaded the first odds, but plan to do the first 7 games at some point before the first kick off. If you click the app bar (the 3 vertical white lines in the banner) you will see where you can see the standings and your betting history. I am also going to set it up so you can see other people's bets.
Let me know if you need any help. Happy betting.

Looks good Season 
Something I did notice though, the odds on a Brazilian win to nil are shorter than them actually winning the match

Ahh. Good spot. I'll have to take another look as that is clearly wrong.

Sorted.
Signed up and bets placed.
I have no clue at all when it comes to betting odds so this should be fun

Looking good mate. I put myself as JMTD77 as you had to put at least six letters for your username.
I'm also not able to currently access any match other than the Brazil/Croatia one, get an error for the others.

Season gave us a bonus £500 for the first match
As JMTD said we've got to enter minimum 6 characters as username so I'm fatsi2014.
watch out password is 8 digits too
Added mine. Looks like Brazil to win to nil is higher odds than Croatia to win to nil too, surely that is an error

Ahh...I corrected it but then set the Brazil odds as Croatia's. I've fixed it now. Teaches me for updating it 5 minutes before I left for work. No harm.done.

That's right for now. I haven't added the odds for the other matches as I was in a hurry to get it up yesterday. I am going to take a look at the others tonight and then I'll let you all know when it is up and running.

I didn't think about the fact that some people might not do decimal odds. It is actually simpler to understand than fractional. All you do is multiply your stake by the odds and that is what you will win if it is successful.
i.e. £100 @ 2.31 returns £231.
By the way, you can see other people's bets now by going to the standings screen and clicking their name.

Yeah as Fatsi said, I gave £1000 to start with. It will then be £500 extra everyday after that, but you have to spend it. You don't get whatever you spend.

Brazil -1 they have to win by 2 goals or more
Croatia +1 they have to win or draw
Brazil -2 they have to win by 3 goals or more
Croatia +2 they have to win/draw or can lose by 1 goal (eg..brazil 2 croatia 1 you win)
