You have to love these ties. Inevitably my wife will ask me who won and I hate answering “no one”

 

Anyway, could someone help me out with something? What do these numbers mean?

 

Believe it or not, those are the odds (in some weird incarnation) But clearly they are meaningless as evidenced by these results.

So looking at the England/USA game is that the odds against 1 for an England win/USA win/tie? Is that how it's read?

I don’t totally understand it. Not sure if German odds are different to what I am used to, but essentially the lowest number is supposed to be the most likely outcome.

For example, if you placed a $1 bet on the draw tonight, you would have won $4. If you placed $1 on England to win and if they had have won, you would have won $1.55. Make sense?

Ah, ok. So the draw is the middle number? That's mostly what I was trying to figure out - which number corresponded to which result.

I can’t say with complete certainty as this is different to what I would expect to see on an English app, but it is certainly my interpretation of it given my knowledge (for what it’s worth) on betting on Football games. 👍🏼
 

Then, take a look at where I am in the table for this particular prediction game, and you will realise that you should do the opposite of what these odds and I say 😂😂😂

Also Left is always “Home” team, middle for the draw and right for the “Away” team.

Hmm...now that I look at the rankings...

 

 

Maybe I'll only seek your advice on full slips from now on 😉

This is super helpful, thanks! 👍

When I look at my position in the ranking

somehow everything goes wrong 😪. Is it because of my total lack of interest in soccer, or because I have not read any info about the teams at all for this tournement 🤔. I'm sure I will make a comeback on Gameday 4

I feel your pain Nils. This is the easily the worst I have Ever done in any form of Dreamteam/Predictor game. ☹️
 

Onward and Upwards.

Ok.

This France/Denmark score needs to hold so I can get at least one of these 100% correct

I’m already doubting my choices for Bonus points. Hard to see past Mbappe and France right now. 
 

At least my early predictions around this England squad appeared closer to the mark after last nights game.
 

 

Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing mind you... Bring back the Premier League!!! 😂😂😂

Welp…looks like I’ll be sliding further down the board

That wasn’t a GIF btw, that was a Live feed from the race track in which @RileyLad is not only steaming through the competition…

 

…he’s setting record scores in the process!

 

 

45 points in a round and up 39 places!!! I’m Certain this has Never been done before on MP Predictors 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼

 

 

@extantsrevenge Take note of the date and scores. I think this record will stand up for a Loooooooooong time. 👍🏼

I’ve been through all of @extantsrevenge rules with a fine tooth comb, 

 

 

and there isn’t Anything in there about the use of Ouija boards. 😲

 

 

Or Time Machines!! But Perhaps @RileyLad way is best. Personally I thought I had found a solid loop hole, my dog on the other hand once again said I’m an idiot. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe he consulted a wicked witch & her flying monkeys 🤣

 

 

 

Or maybe even the wizard himself… possibly also the munchkins themselves 😂
