    Just wondering if my whisper worked. I haven't completely grasped this concept but hopefully made some logical guesses.

    Did mine work? I'm just surprised that you haven't told everyone else not to bother because the winning entry has now been made.

    Anyone still interested but not fully sure of the concept still, just completely forget about the spread / points thing and just send me the following in a whisper

    £200 - Buy / Sell - Country
    £150 - Buy / Sell - Country
    £100 - Buy / Sell - Country
    £50 - Buy / Sell - Country

    Goals in competition - x



    If you think a country is going to do better than expected, buy them, if you think a country is going to do worse than expected, sell them.

    61 teams so far.

    All predictions and some stats will be posted this afternoon.

    Got a feeling the range for the 'how many goals in total' could be huge

    Probably don't want to say, but what about the range of number of goals, just how low and high has anyone gone?

    I don't actually know what the average number of goals is, I just went a bit higher than your example.

    Personally i worked out 118 games and went for nearer 200 goals so just under 2 goals a game

    Following an incredible late flurry, the amount of entrants was boosted to err, 65, for the inaugral Charlton Life World Cup competition.

    Congratulations to every one of you for understanding the concept, though in the case of RalphMilnesGut, who used his biggest stake to Sell North Korea @ 1pt, i'm not convinced it was fully understood :-)

    I'm still awaiting Goals in Competition guesses from:

    theenorth
    Red God
    Nicholas
    Lewis Coaches
    CAFCBourne

    A full list of everyones bets will be posted over the weekend.

    Spain were the most bought country, followed by Brazil and Holland.

    France and Portugal, followed by Brazil, were the most sold countries.

    Thoughts on England's World Cup bid were almost evenly split, they were bought 11 times but sold 9 times.

    Algeria, Honduras, New Zealand and Slovenia received no bets.

    Goals in competition guesses so far have ranged from 79 to an incredible 333.

    333 goals in 64 games? Over 5 goals per game in every game, fantastic!

    I used FIFA.com for average goals - worked out about 2.67 per game last time and a little less before that
  • [cite]Posted By: Swisdom[/cite]I used FIFA.com for average goals - worked out about 2.67 per game last time and a little less before that

    The New York Times had a story on the probable number of goals in the tournament. Their estimate, based on the number of teams, games and scoring trends was 160 for this World Cup.
  • 79 that was me
