Fruit Machine Chat

Posted: **Mon Aug 03, 2009 11:10 pm**

anyone fancy doing a fruitchat league? we used to have one which was a small diversion. if 20 people are up for it, we can do a (free) league with the times. it is a very good league which deals with real stats and not just goals/clean sheets.

anyway, i'd be up for it if 19 others are.

Why not.

good idea, we are all gambling people on here. how about £20 each, that should be affordable over 38 fixtures. does anyone have the nous to set up an account where the fees can accrue minimal interest. maybe through paypal or something. i'm a dunce so afraid i can't do things like this.
can i suggest 50% for first, 25% for second, 10% for 3rd, 15% for 19th

if anyone is good with computers, the link is http://www.timesonline.co.uk/playthegame

Count me in :P Would probably prefer it on the usual site we used to use tho.

Yeah man £20 each would be a good earner

£20 is fine but you cant do it through paypal as they take a percentage of each transaction, would end up with about £18.80 from every £20. cant you set up your own league within the actual fantasy football website?
that way you have your own league plus a stab at the real thing.

if anyone who knows how to do these things wants to take charge, please be my guest.

i'd be up for it but am completely ignorant about computers.

Well if people are happy with this site: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/
then I will gladly set it up as I already have a few leagues running on that and would take me 2 minutes. As for the money side I'm not dealing with that bit. But will happily put in £20 if thats what everyone is up for :P

There is a way of getting around the percentage charge now..

so now all we need is to find someone we trust

have been looking about and the telegraph looks fairly good and is easy to register your own league

I'm doing it with the Telegraph with the work so I might join in if I could be arsed getting a team together.

We had a similar thing a few years ago for predicting scores in the FA Cup. I think we all sent the money to JustAnotherClone and he coughed up my winnings at the end of it.

p.s. and Istenem's.
