It was always going to happen. Goodforthegame known to many sports fans and punters for informative betting previews on major sporting events have after much flirtation branched out into the Sports Prediction field with a new site SportsPicks, run on the tried and trusted FantasySports engine. The site can be accessed at www.sportspicks.co.za or http://sportspicks.fs.co.za
The first competition will be the 2010 Super 14 and will see entrants trying to call as many correct handicaps as they can over the course of the season.
Brent Graham rugby tipster at Goodforthegame elaborates:
“We were looking for a simple game that required skill and this fits the bill. My blood boils when rugby analysts preview the Crusaders at home to the Lions and conclude with much bravado that ‘The Crusaders will win’, hey my 82 year old grandmother could have told us that.
In our game the Crusaders are given a handicap or any other words the Lions would be given for example a 20.5 point start (they would show on SportsPicks as +20.5) meaning simply calling a Crusaders win is not going to cut it, you have to decide whether they can beat the handicap and win by 21 points or more.
The beauty of this format is that the handicaps are set by bookmakers (World Sports Betting have come on board as the official bookmaker sponsor for this competition) and entering your predictions can take as little as 30 seconds with no complicated transfers or the like. You don’t even have to predict the score, simply who will win the match on the handicap. Predictions by the way will be opened on the Thursday morning before the weekend’s action and games will be closed as they kick off.”
Graham cautions though that while it is simple to play the game itself is far from easy and in the long run skill will prevail:
“You will be amazed at how tough these handicaps can be to call but rest assured over the 94 games of the tournament the best tipsters will emerge. Aside from playing in the main league you can also set up mini league and challenge your mates settling once and for all the question of who knows their rugby.
The game will be attractive to regular sports bettors but it will also be a great place to test your skills to see whether you are cut out for punting on sport. Either way you can have great fun and as we like to say at Goodforthegame ‘Watching Sport will never be the same again’
Finally although all games starting with the Super 14 2010 and moving forward will be free to play on www.sportspicks.co.za there are some great prizes up for grabs. Some reward consistency and others will certainly require a bit or in some cases a lot of luck in running.”
