Rewards were all given out Simon from last season. The same will apply for this time round:

1st place - £3 million
2nd place - £2 million
3rd place - £1 million

Open to the suggestion of splitting the betting table come half season - like they do with the Scottish league. That way the people who have fallen miles behind would be in with a chance of winning the lower league while the top half managers could fight between themselves. If people like the idea, I'll add reduced prize money for the lower half.

Richard.

 "The Black thing is actually their sailor mascot:


He is an old sailor and his name is Baciccia (Battista in Italian, Baptist in English). The origin is the fact that Genova is (was) one of the most important harbours in the Mediterranean Sea."

I have been thinking about the totals people reached last year on beat the odds after half a season and I think the totals might become stupidly big if we run the competition for a whole season

So picking up on a suggestion made by Rich, i think it might be a good idea if at the half season point the tables are split in to 2 differant leagues.

The first league consisting of the top point scorers and the second league the lowest point scorers. At this point the scores could be reset with everyone starting again with 200 points. Rich could then set prices for the leaders of each of the leagues at the end of the season.

This would help people have an interest throughout the season and also give Adam a chance to lose all his points again in the first week - lol

Its just a suggestion as I think the points total would become unmanageable in the latter weeks of the season if we run just one league throughout the whole season

What do you think, is this something people would be interested in?

Cheers Mark

I think that will be a little unfair on managers at the very top. You could be 6th and then be in the same place at top. Maybe being able to trim a few zeros at some point may help, but so many big bets going in im sure most will be down to 0 anyhow so less people to cut down on
