I know there's a few people on here looking forward to the football World Cup so I thought you may also be interested in this

Looks pretty sweet and I'm gonna get stuck into it later today. Maybe we could get a pool started. D

We should get a pool/league going for anyone who's interested, provided of course that there are enough people interested. D

Yeah they're in. They're actually getting quite a lot of press and are tipped to do a lot better than their ranking suggests.

01-06-2006 12:40:38

could we just do a normal pool? Like the March Madness one, everyone picks the teams that advance and each round is worth more points, picking the winner being worth the most.

People with the most right at the end of the tourney split the prize money, assuming there is money involved

theysayjump

04-06-2006 00:08:57

I just set up a FiPG league. There are warmup games going on where you can earn Win Bonus' and the share prices are updated every 20 minutes I believe.

If there are enough people interested then we could get a pool going where at the end of the tournament, the top two people split the cash. The league keeps track of itself and at the end whoever has made the most, wins.

You'll need a BBC account but it only takes about 2 minutes to set up. If you're intersted, let me know so I can add you.

I'm currently 100 down and I only started 30 minutes ago. (

I don't understand why teams like Mexico and Portugal stock drop when they won.

theysayjump

11-06-2006 15:12:39

It's based on not only how they play, but the amount of press coverage they get also. Portugal and Mexico both performed well below what people expected them to, same goes for England, so that means bad press, more people selling their stocks.

Yesterday before the England game, for me they were at 38/share. Now they're down to 29/share because even though they won, they played absolutely shite.

I dont understand how exactly dividends work. Do they pay the given number of points per share (for example, 5 points per German share) if we have those shares during the entire weekend or is it just for so much time. I never keep any of the shares for longer than 2-3 days, so, my dividend payout is not an accurate reflection of a normal payment?! jy3, your take on this??

The Dividends that are paid out every Tuesday are based on square centimetres of press coverage. To gain the full dividend for your chosen teams you must hold the shares from midnight on Saturday (so before you go to bed on Friday night) until Tuesday morning (when you'll receive your dividends). Dividends are paid in the early hours of Tuesday morning so you must still be in possession of the shares when they are paid. If you own the shares for a shorter period i.e. Sunday until Tuesday you will still get a dividend but it will be a smaller percentage of the full amount.

Press Coverage - We measure the amount of coverage generated for listed teams in the sports pages of selected national newspapers in terms of square centimetres. Which are then graded according to where they appear in the newspaper. Coverage is measured for every day of the week not just the holding period.

These figures are then applied to our formula for calculating the potential dividend and entered into the system.

The list of selected newspapers is as follows

Monday to Saturday Daily Mirror, The Sun, Daily Star, Daily Express, Daily Mail, The Times, The Independent, The Guardian, The Telegraph

Sunday Sunday Mirror, News Of The World, The Star On Sunday, The People, Sunday Express, Mail On Sunday, The Sunday Times, The Independent On Sunday, The Observer, The Sunday Telegraph.

We will only measure match reports. General England speculation and comments will not be included. All calculations are based on London Final Editions. No other editions will be used in calculations. Supplements are classed as any section of newsprint which is not numbered as part of the main newspaper, with the exception of those papers where the sports section is a separate section of the paper (e.g. In The Guardian on Monday, the only sport coverage is placed in a separate sport section, due to the absence of sport coverage in the main paper, this will be counted as main paper coverage).

yes, u need to hold the shares from saturday until the morning on tuesday. the key to remember is
a) these are LONDON papers
b) they use london times for all their deadlines.

it is well worth it to get the full bonuses and personally I would not buy any stock as soon as they win and hold them all week b/c of the daytraders. besides the win bonuses, i wait until friday to purchase my divi stocks.
that help?

What place are you in? Must be top 100 right?

hehehhehe

24-06-2006 10:58:00

Thanks man, heh heh. No, I made it to 132. I was hoping to make it to the leaderboard but there are too many good traders, you need to make around 2500% to make it.

It's only going to get harder now since it'll be harder to pick winners. However, it's about percentage gain so even if you guys aren't near the top now, you can still get there by making the right moves.

Yeah I know, and I looked at the page about it before I joined also and didn't think it was a huge deal. Then I noticed the page that shows you how much you get for each share owned in a certain team. idea

well being out of town and not able to get to the site on thursday/friday kills u for dividend.
the main problem for me was not doing both dividend and win bonus from the start )

wtf is that!

Well, I was out of town for 5 days including Thu/Fri without internet access, and I just took what I got without complaining. As far as learning the rules go, we were all on the same boat.

I tried buying French shares all day and it was sold out. Makes no sense since there should be a huge price increase if people were buying lots of it. Same with Portugal, whose price is as low as it can get.

Nope, I still have £22,164.23 left. shrug

France's price has hit rock-bottom. I have a feeling that if they had played as well today as they did against Brasil then they'd still be reasonably high.

hehehhehe

05-07-2006 20:58:59

That's the weird thing, it doesn't work like a real stock market. People bought the shit out of the France and Portugal shares since yesterday but their price was at 1.01. They said they investigated but said it was normal since many people sold their shares. Makes no sense since if there were many shares sold, there should be plenty available to buy. Even Italy's price went from 1.8 to 1.6 even though people were buying it.

Hopefully they'll release more shares before the weekend because I guess you'll be getting a nice bonus tomorrow too ;).

Yeah the number of shares should be infinate. Maybe there was more demand for this World Cup DAQ than they expected or something so they limited the number you could buy? shrug

I should be getting about £60,000 for the France win today.

I assume you're getting about 10x that right?

johnjimjones

Yeah I don't see the point of limiting the shares, it just blocks out people from playing.

I had about 14 million shares which I'll carry over to the finals. Zizou's gonna have to kick some ass.
