Look at you, getting all foreign at the expense of the English games I can't vouch for the rest of the site, but I know I don't follow La Liga closely enough to have a clue about who to bet on. Hence why I said only Europe and S. American games - I could include African, Asian, CONCACAF games too, but how many of us know enough about those teams, their form, their players' league form etc to make a decent judgement?

Just a suggestion - personally I try to follow football all around the globe & extend my knowledge all the time. Not knocking the English leagues, but it's good to mix it up a bit. Think people here are more likely to know about La Liga then South American football though (apart from Ovechkin he is the oracle when it comes to Argentinian football). I'm sure whatever you do will be a good job!

£200!!! Seems a bit steep mate! Given £200 to start off with seems steep? So would you say more or less then? I want enough to ensure no-one's gonna get wiped in a couple of weeks, but not so much that you can just go insane either... I thought that we had to put £200 in each Are we talking real money or just "pretend" then

Sounds good Neko i had something similar going on my old site. We used karma as betting chips/money.
Have to say I'm with GB in that id like to see a wider selection of games. And obscure leagues & internationals used.

And obscure leagues & internationals used. I'll see, for a start, how many Ladbrokes offer then! If the scope's there, then I could perhaps do the 40 as mentioned, and then another ten 'roaming' games on top of that? (Or, as I think sounds better, replace the 7 L2 and 1-2 L1 games with 8-9 roamers, to force the idea a bit?) So one week, it'd be x many from La Liga, the next week x many from France, the next week x many from the US, and then back to La Liga the week after? If I did something to that effect, what leagues would you want? If I'm rotating them, I'd probably only do 3 other leagues, to give them all a decent chance over the course of a year (do too many and you'll only be looking at them once a month!) I like the idea of encouraging people to look at other leagues, I must admit. Straw poll on that, then, anyone?

Silly Billy ;D Just to confirm it, it's entirely for fun - no money changes hands at any point, it just gives us a competitive version to work with. Could be a good chance to try out bets you like the idea of but aren't quite certain about

Neko - Could we not have Bets on the Prem, CCC, Ligue 1, La Liga, Eriedivisie 1 and maybe Serie A continuously, or would that be too much work?

Neko - Could we not have Bets on the Prem, CCC, Ligue 1, La Liga, Eriedivisie 1 and maybe Serie A continuously, or would that be too much work? I want to keep it relatively small-scale to start with, hence the 'rotating guest league' thought. If that turns out to be a mission in itself, I'll likely just stick with that, but if it's not so bad then I'll expand, as I said. I think having the US league in would be an idea, since their season runs at a different time to the European ones - it at least gives us something for the close-season, and we'll have more of a sporting chance if we've been looking at it beforehand! Of course, as I said, it does depend on whether I can get the odds easily or not!

Yea thats cool mate. Look forward to seeing this up & running. In terms of getting the odds, it shouldn't be too hard I don't think.
