Gamble Game - League Cup 2019

Post by Selby White »

We have ten entries this year so the first round will consist of 5 matches.
The 5 winners of these games will go straight into the QF (last 8)
The 5 losers will play a sudden death game with the top 3 progressing to the QF.

Rules :-
Players will be drawn against each other on knockout basis, lose and you are out until the last two are left to contest for the final.
Each week one or two matches will be played as per order in the draw (only 2 or 4 players involved each week).
Each Player will have £200 to bet on 6 selected games (using all £200).
Must bet on each match (but can choose how money is split)
Minimum amount bet on one match is £5.
The player drawn at home will place their bets by a specified time.
The player drawn away will have up to kick off to place their bets.
Away player may choose same teams as home player but if so must use different amount of money if doing so.
If a match is drawn it will be replayed with the away player becoming the home player.
If Cup matches are used its the 90 minutes score that will count.

Any questions just ask :thumbup:

At the conclusion of the competition the following points will be awarded towards the 2019 Gamble Grand Prix Table :-
Winner - 25pts R/U - 18pts Semi-finalists - 12pts Last 8 - 7pts 1st round - 3pts


The draw for the 1st round has now been made thanks to Cheffy007 and Mr Russell :-

5. Big Jon vs 1. Mr Russell
3. Nottingham White vs 10. Selby White
8. Rigger vs 6. Davycc
2. BrighouseWhite vs 9. KK White
7. Barlow Boy vs 4. Cheffy007



QF Draw
The 3 Winners with the highest aggregate victories (amount they won by) will each play one of the losers that get through the play offs but not the player they faced in 1st round (with the losers been the home team)
The 4th & 5th highest aggregate winners will face each other (5th team at home).
