JOSH Super Speculator -- THE fun-filled game for you, your friends, your relatives, your pets and those random gooks round the corner who think the answer is 42.

It's simple! We let you predict the outcomes of matches. It's fair -- you get points if you got it right, and a kick on the ass if you didn't. It's fun -- well not quite as fun as actually roughing it out on the field but hey! it's better than Kreyszig (TM) any day!

So, as you bound towards Yon Wee Login Page (with a pause, perhaps, to check out the rules), you gotta ask yourself one question:

"Do I feel lucky?"

Well,

Do ya?

Punk?


Rules

  • Login using your CC login/password. You start off with 1000 points.
  • You have a list of matches whose outcome you can predict.
  • Each match has a cost. If your current points are greater than the cost, you are allowed to predict the outcome of the match.
  • As soon as you make a prediction, the cost of the match is debited from your total points.
  • If the outcome of the match is as you had predicted, then your original points are restored, plus the cost of the match gets added on (so net gain = cost). If you lose the debit remains (i.e. net loss = cost).
  • You may change your prediction any number of times, but you must always have the cost of the match in points when you make any change. Points are not debited from your current tally when you change your prediction.
  • Once the match result is declared, you will not be able to make a choice any more and your points will be adjusted accordingly.
  • And obviously... the person with the highest points at the end wins!

Good luck to all participants!
